How does the Tomatometer work Help Icon

Reviews Counted:91

Fresh:10

Rotten:81

Average Rating:2.7/10

Consensus: Unfavorably comparing it with such infamously bad titles as Battlefield Earth, a significant number of critics are calling Tom Green's extreme gross-out comedy the worst movie they have ever seen.

Rated: R [See Full Rating] for crude sexual and bizarre humor, and for strong language

Runtime: 88 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release:Apr 20, 2001 Wide

Box Office: $13,748,199

Synopsis: Self-made celebrity and outlaw of gross-out comedy, Tom Green (of MTV's TOM GREEN SHOW) makes the leap to the big screen with the outrageous semi-autobiographical FREDDY GOT FINGERED. Starring as... Self-made celebrity and outlaw of gross-out comedy, Tom Green (of MTV's TOM GREEN SHOW) makes the leap to the big screen with the outrageous semi-autobiographical FREDDY GOT FINGERED. Starring as Gord Brody, a slacker fast-approaching 30, yet still living in his father's basement, Green is his usual obtusely hilarious, polymorphously perverse self. Physical comedy ascends to the realm of extreme performance art as Brody's unachievable lifelong dream to become an animator causes him to clash with his hardened father (played by the steely and equally funny Rip Torn.) A furtive love affair with a wheelchair-bound rocket scientist and the disturbing hijinks of a troublesome younger brother named Freddy form the core of the sublimely stupid plot that serves mainly as a platform from which Green launches his incredible and often irrational comedic fare. Testing the limits of comedy, Green's deceptively moronic film does, at times, achieve a level of visual and conceptual cleverness, crafting ironic and primordial images from jokes on human folly.

Watch this only if you'd like to see Green lick the exposed bone of his best friend.

Watching Freddy Got Fingered is like body-surfing through raw sewage.

Freddy Got Fingered is pure masturbation, and I'm sorry to say I mean that both literally and figuratively.

As a movie, it's a piece of garbage, but when considered as a series of gags, many of which are tasteless and tired but an equal number are inspired, it's worth seeing.

If I wanted to watch a muddled, clunky, wannabe-clever comedy, I'd wait for the next Saturday Night Live atrocity to come out.

Fearless and culturally resonant...a Dadaistic sendup of knee-jerk moralism and teen comedies in general.

The story is nothing more than a series of set-ups for Green to do his thing, and with no one to yell "cut," Green keeps going and going and going, usually long after the laugh has faded.

probably the most detestable production of the decade; or, heck, quite possibly ever!
