I watched this film because I've seen clips of Tom Green in things like Road Trip where he's played a small role where his few lines have been quite funny and added an edge to the film. However this film was sorely disappointing. This film is basicallyabout Gorty (Tom Green) trying to make it in Hollywood as an animator and failing miserably. Therefore he regularly goes home and commits freakish acts sending his family insane. Whilst all this is occuring, he dates a disabled amateur rocket scientist with a fetish for Gorty to beat her legs with a cane. Don't even ask..... I think I have been scarred for life by the images of Tom Green swinging a new born baby round the room by is umbilical chord spraying everyone with blood. I feel mentally abused from the scene where he givs oral sex to a cow and a horse and the gorey pictures of his friend's leg burst open by a nail still send my stomach round and round. Funny as it sounds if any of these story lines had been made tastefully they might have made me laugh. However the main aim of this film was to disgust and it did it in such an unfunny way I nearly cried. This film basically was a waste of my money and time and every copy should be burnt. Or crushed. Or drowned. Or something like that.
