Advantages: It ends Disadvantages: Awful beyond belief
...Hagerty..........Julie Brody Freddy Got Fingered is bound to instantly conjure up an image in your mind and then that said image is bound to be replaced with thoughts of policemen collaring a criminal or a mobster finding out his associate is creaming off some of the profits. Well gentle reader, you'd have been better off sticking with that first infantile image. This is without doubt one of the worst films I've ever had the misfortune to watch. ... ...walking out. I think I was just in a state of shock and couldn't move. There are so many disgusting scenes in this film, I just don't know where to start and I usually love over the top nonsense, i.e. Peter Jackson's Brain Dead. Our hero masturbating a horse (and I mean really masturbating, it didn't look like special effects), or how about him wearing the freshly killed carcass of a deer, or maybe swinging a stillborn baby around his head by the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

...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 ...

...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, ... ...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/

...who hates him. His brother Freddy lives near by and comes around for breakfast every morning.
The humour in this film is quite childish but if you let yourself go you will really be laughing out loud.
Gord also meets a girlfriend Betty (Marissa Coughlan - Gossip and Super Troopers) who is paralyzed and has an obsession with oral sex and rocket powered wheel chairs.
On meeting Gords girlfriend for the first time this is the conversation that happens ... ...You're crippled. Gord: Dad... Betty: What? Gord: Dad... Betty: You got a problem with my legs? Jim: No, you got a problem with your legs. It's ether that, or you're just lazy. As I said a lot of the jokes are in bad taste but funny none the less.
Some of the jokes are ones that you can relate to. Whilst Gord is working in a cheese sandwhich shop he encounters a customer who is not happy with his sandwhich;

Advantages: Hysterical if you like Tom Green Disadvantages: Most people don't like Tom Green
OK – um – how to describe this film? It is a comedy, but that does not necessarily mean it is funny - and to be blunt, it isn’t. The humour is very original, though more annoying than funny. It stars MTV comedian Tom Green, who is known for his over-the-top humour and stupid stunts. You may have seen him in Charlies Angels, or in Road Trip - these were good films and should not be mistaken as proof of Tom Green having good taste. He does not disappoint ... ...love this film. Unfortunately, I believe this refers to only a couple of people, so this does not help. You only have to read the title to begin to see what I am talking about.
Now, I know people will read this and think that I am obviously exaggerating my opinion to make you believe me. I have a pretty dark humour, and can laugh at almost anything, but not this. So, to prove my point, I am going to give you a couple of examples of ‘funny’ moments ...

Advantages: Very funny moments, if you like "Tom Green humour" Disadvantages: Graphic scenes, extremely non politically correct.
...What do you expect?
Freddy Got Fingered is probably the best example of the strangeness that is Tom Green. Although it has more shock value than actual laugh-out-loud scenes, its very entertaining. That is, unless you get offended or grossed out very easily.
The basic story is about 28 year old Gord (Green) who still lives with his parents and wishes to pursue his dream to become a full time animator. However, he has many obstacles to overcome, ... ...dad sexually abused his brother, Freddy (Eddy Kaye Thomas). Freddy gets taken into care, even though no-one seems to notice that he's about 25 years old.
There's also a sub-plot of Gord's relationship with wheelchair-user Betty, who gets great satisfaction from being hit on the legs with a bamboo cane. Hmmm...
However, there are lots of (shall we say graphic) scenes in this film, such as animals being tossed off, a dead deer being worn as a cape ...

Quick review of Freddy Got Fingered (DVD)
This film has a very strange sense of humour, and although it is original, it is personnally very hard to find amusing. I found that there were a couple of funny parts of the film but also some parts that were disgusting and unbearable to watch. I do not recommend this film at all, however, if you do watch this film you need to be very light hearted and open to weird, strange behaviour. Tom Green is known for his outrageousness so there may be many people who wish to see this film. ...

Advantages: None whatsoever Disadvantages: How much time have you got
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 ... ...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 ...

Advantages: funny in a strange way, tom green, the sausage song (funnier than it sounds) Disadvantages: lack of decent story line, its just plain sick!
OK first of all let me just say that i have read everyone else's opinions of this film and unfortunately will have to disagree with the majority. Yes this film is stupid, and yes it is sick, but that is what it is meant to be. It is made for people who laugh at programmes like jackass and the tom green show, and i think it caters for that audience perfectly.
The story is simple, a late 20's tom green who still lives in his parent's basement dreams ... ...follow that dream to hollywood to get his drawings made into a show. Which he does finally proving to his disapproving father that he isnt a nobody. Thats the basic, and only main story line other sub plots do develop but nothing too rivetting, but what does it matter?! Tom Green didnt make this film to break box office records, to win awards or anything like that. I believe he did it for the fun of writing, directing, and starring in his own film. ...

...father supposedly tried on with Freddy which in turn splits up the family.
The story continues as Gord’s ambition to become an animator develops as he attempts to get a cartoon publisher to use his cartoon ideas including “Zebras In America”. From here he plans to seek revenge upon his father for hating him and being cruel to him in the past. There is a happy ending, somewhere.

Advantages: Great for those with that Dirty Sanchez/ Jackass sense of humour Disadvantages: Some Scenes that are a little disturbing
I only reccomend this film to those who have a reasonably strong stomach and a strange sense of humor. Some disturbing scenes such as violating many animals such as Elephants horses and cows but there is a strange sense of humour about it but those who find that a little too weird it isnt worth buying.
The story is about a man called Gord who's 28 years old and still lives with his parents. He has dreams of becoming an animator, and to sell his ... ...out of his home and goes to work in a cheese sandwich factory. This doesn't last long and moves back home to a very annoyed father.
