Most people i know have either heard about or watched Freddy got fingered...and their views on this comedy vary greatly. This is either a love it or hate it film. Personally for me....well i love it. Yeah it can be a bit gross but god it is funny, even if it is quite disturbing in places!!!!
***THE STARS OF THE SHOW***
Freddy got Fingered stars the outrageous MTV celeb (from the tom green show) Tom Green (who has also stared in road trip and charlies angels), as Gord Brody, a 28 year old living at home with his parents, trying to make it as a big time animator. Tom also directs and co-writes in this film. Gords dad, Jim Brody is played by the brilliant Rip Thorn (also stared in the insider, the wonder boys and men in black) His mum, Julie Brody, is played by Julie Hagerty (from Airplane! and Lost in America). The other in the Brody family being Freddy Brody, played by Eddie Kaye Thomas (probably best known as the classic character "Finch" in the American pie films.) Also in this film we see Gord's wheelchair bound girlfriend, Betty, played by the gorgeous Marrisa Coughlan. So as you can see there is planty of comedy talent to please in this film. Oh and finally a special mention should go to the animals that also appear in this Comedy/
***ABOUT FREDDY GOT FINGERED***
Throughout the film Gord is constantly battling with his father, who basically just wants gord to grow up and get a respectable job....mmm lets just say poor gords dad has more than a battle on his hands!! This film shows Gord as a now and then. It basically involves Gord telling his hillarious story, with flashbacks as he takes some students on tour around a campus. It shows us the relationships Gord has, not only with his father, but also with the girl he falls in love with (who happens to be a "sexually advanced rocket scientist in a wheelchair") Infact she's described as a "paraplegic nymphomaniac"!!! Nice!!! It also shows us how "kind" Gord can be to wildlife (with this part providing most of the more memorable scenes) For example during this film, to name but a few classic scenes, we see Gord driving past a stud farm, when he sees a horse being "played" with ready for some action, when Gord slams on the handbrake to go and give a hand!!!! Mmmmm sounds a bit wrong doesn't it?? But it doesn't really come across as wrong as it sounds!!! Really!! And besides he's onlyt rying to impress his "daddy" to show that he could get a job. We get to follow all of Gord's up and downs in his quest to hit the big time, and fight against daddys hopes of him getting a "jobby" and settling down. There really are so many great scenes in this film, probably most of them of a rude nature, but god they are so funny. There really is no other comedy that compares to this in both making you feel sick, but also making you laugh your t*ts of!!! To put it bluntly!!! Just make sure you don't eat any food whilst watching it!!!
***SPECIAL FEATURES***

A fantastic Film, maybe not a classic but worth having in your collection if your ever in need of a laugh....It always tends to be put on in my house when friends are over. It's just that kind of film!!! Either way if you've seen it or planning to see it...beware you'll either love it or hate it...there is no inbetween!!!
Have a good day folks!!! xXx
