A vomitorium consisting of 93 minutes of Tom Green doing things that a geek in a carnival sideshow would turn down.

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.

Reviews for Freddy Got Fingered
Offers nothing more than the chance for Tom Green the actor to just be as insane and disgusting as possible without an arbiter to help him sort out the funny from the way unfunny.
Even with a thesaurus, there are only so many ways to say that a film is not only excruciating but also sickening and unfunny.
It slaps us in the face and asks us to hate it at every turn. Mission accomplished.
We can surely attest to when the comedic film genre reached an all-time low: the day Freddy Got Fingered was unleashed.
Less about the dangers and pleasures of the unchained id than the giddy anarchy of the unbound imagination.
It's the ultimate experiment in post-narrative filmmaking! It's a piece of crap! It's both!
Green knows how to pace a joke so that it builds, and he has a sense of style.
Too often, scenes crop up that have nothing to do with anything beyond Green's consuming need to be as outrageous as he can be.
What's really disgusting about this movie is how easy, cheap and lazy the shocks it delivers are.
There is the spectacle of Green forcing things, of desperately willing something to happen when it is all too plain that nothing is happening.
Green's ever-upped ante of shock speaks of a desperation that borders on mental illness.
A somewhat disjointed affair that, like the man himself, is occasionally brilliant, frequently repetitive and sometimes merely annoying.
You may end up wanting to take a shower. That is, if you're still awake.
This train wreck disguised as a movie is a case study of an annoyingly vibrant attack of arrested adolescent development.
Green is just plain annoying as Gord, a one-dimensional caricature of himself.
