Freddy Got Fingered (DVD)

Advantages: Its hillarious, Tom Green, controversial.
Disadvantages: Some sick and disturbing scenes

Well I've looked at a couple of reviews for this and I can easily say you either think this film is brilliant even for its flaws, or you absolutely hate it and damn it to hell with negative reviews. Well I happened to love this film so I can tell you now that I'm actually going to say something good about it, unlike a lot of people. Of course you are entitled to your own opinions and respect that I've always known that Tom Greens actions were some ...
...of you who aren't familiar with this man... he's American and he's a comedian, he also owned his own show called the "Tom Green Show", which like this film left nothing to the imagination and was utterly sick and twisted in parts, but hey 10 out of 10 for originality right?... nobody else has the balls to make stuff like this. The only example of really twisted and weird I can remember at present from his show was the episode where he had discovered ... Read review

Advantages: It ends. Eventually.
Disadvantages: Everything else about this vulgar attempt at humour

...trash where one scene has Freddy jump out of his car to masturbate a horse in a field for no apparent reason. And just count yourself lucky they spared you the six minutes of footage they shot of him sucking milk from a cow. Writing about it without resorting to a string of expletive-filled insults is almost as much a test of patience as watching the film itself. The only thing that made it bearable is that at least I now know what a zero-star film ...
...least one. In short this film is about as funny as incestuous child molestation (which, incidentally, it seems to think is hilarious). VIDEO 1.74:1 anamorphic, reasonable transfer with some noticeable softening of detail but no digital artefacts or other issues. AUDIO In some ways the perfect Dolby Digital 5.1 actually serves as a disadvantage as the film is awfully punctuated by a weak rock soundtrack (and I generally enjoy rock). Sound effects ...

Advantages: It's only around 80 minutes, The Sausage Piano
Disadvantages: Takes bad taste to a whole new level

...he ignores his other son Freddy who is a far better bet. However soon Gordy is back home and that's when things take a horrible direction. Eventually Gordy spreads the rumour that his father sexually abuse's his brother Freddy although he doesn't mention the fact that Freddy is aged 25. So now you see what the title means. I'd heard a lot of bad things about this film but I was willing to give it a go as I honestly believed that the majority of critics ...
...was in total agreement with the majority. I'm not easily offended but when it comes to bad taste you are always teetering on the line. this film crosses it on nearly every occasion. During the film we see Gordy lick the severe leg wound of his friend, swing a newborn baby around a room by it's umbilical cord and gut a dead deer and goof around wearing it's skin as well as masturbate an elephant. Of course that's aside from the main theme of sexual ... Read review

Advantages: Great Soundtrack, funny in places,Rip Torn, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Marisa Coughlan
Disadvantages: Too much like the Tom Green Show, Weak Plot by numbers that really detracts from the potential

...and if your wondering who Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas) is, well he’s Gord’s little brother and the origin of the title is actually one of the films funnier scenes. It’s not a family film and as far as comedy goes it is certainly more suited to stumbling in after a heavy night out and sticking it on. There are a number of funny moments but in places it just gets far too silly and dare I say disgusting. You just have to look at the scene with the dead ...
...film, something I’m sure I’ll find out tonight but until then there is no way I can give Freddy Got Fingered anymore than 2 stars. If you love Tom Green in Road Trip you may love this, but more than likely you’ll find him slightly too much. Amazon.co.uk: £5.97 ... Read review

Advantages: None, Nil, Zilch
Disadvantages: Everything

...recorder (pardon the pun) was Freddy got fingered. The film, in sketchy terms, is about a character in his late twenties named Gord (exactly!), played by Tom Green, who is, supposedly, a cartoon animator, still living with his parents, but decides to finally move out and make his own life in Hollywood. The film, from then onwards, revolves around the various characters he encounters, and the, supposedly (that word pops up again!), hilarious situations ...
...already know this, gained his fame via his sometimes fairly sick show on MTV. His parents were mainly the victims of his unfunny practical jokes – I think he once left either a cow’s or horse’s head (a real one!), with blood and all, in their bed while they were sleeping, only to think it amusing when they finally got up and found it there. Tom’s romance and subsequent marriage to Drew Barrymore, who makes a brief cameo appearance ... Read review
