What to Know

Critics 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.

My rating system only goes down to one star instead of no stars. But I must confess that every once in a while, a movie comes along that makes me want to take the zero-star plunge -- a movie just like Freddy Got Fingered. Go to Full Review Bob Grimm Reno News and Review 09/16/2024

Yes...I liked it. I did, indeed, like it. Go to Full Review Aaron Murray Loud and Clear Reviews 08/04/2024
Freddy Got Fingered isn’t a movie for everyone, but what it represents is far more universal and human. It’s a stunning example of how filmmakers should perceive Hollywood. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Kokichi O @Kokichi 5d This movie is the best thing known to man, anyone who says otherwise has no sense of humour and probably hates fun. Funniest thing ever please watch it (Beware there is a lot of crude jokes, some gorey scenes, watch at your own caution) See more Jess L @RT25393254 Apr 30 I love this movie. It's a classic. It's as weird as it gets and super quotable. You don't know what's gonna happen one moment to the next. I love Tom Green in everything and I think this movie is wildly under appreciated. I would love to see it get more love. See more Michael J @RT19164166 Apr 13 Gouge your eyes out and stuff them in your ears for this one. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Feb 18 Well this was an interesting one. Was it outrageously stupid? Yes. Did it have a great cast? Yes. Was is funny? Yes. There was a lot of sick gross out moments even I have to admit. Terrible title. I bet there's people in the world that actually act like Gord. At the end of the day, I didn't hate myself for watching it. See more Fire T. @fireterrell07 Feb 16 It’s not perfect. But it made me smile, that’s what matters See more John K @WQCMI Feb 7 Worst film ever made, period. See more Read all reviews
