A touching story of a young man who desperately wants to make his daddy proud.
Tom Green plays Gord Brody, a slacker who dreams of becoming an animator for cartoon shows. He is forced to move back in with his parents, but then refuses to leave. Along the way, he sexually pleasures various farm animals, licks open flesh wounds, accuses his father of molesting his brother, goes scuba diving in a toilet, plays an organ with several sausages attached to it which are suspended in midair, and does a bunch of other stuff that is too insane, offensive, disgusting, or weird to be mentioned here.

A fairly ordinary movie with some hilarious moments
posted on 30 Aug 2009This movie has no artistic merit, and most of the time doesn't even make sense. But it was never supposed to. The story isn't really worth mentioning, it's all just an excuse for Tom Green to molest various animals and see little kids get hurt, and that's what life is all about really, isn't it? Call me old-fashioned if you must, but to me there's nothing funnier than seeing a little kid run headfirst into a car door and then run away crying with blood pouring from his head. But if that's not your cup of tea then so be it, don't watch this movie. To those of you who say this movie is the worst movie ever, go rent Tomcats, I dare you. The scene with the testicle is equally as repulsive as anything in Freddy Got Fingered, and yet somehow, it manages to make it not funny. Anyway, to sum up.. if you like to see a grown man do stupid/weird things, see Freddy Got Fingered. If you don't.. then go watch Pearl Harbor or something. Also, kids getting hurt is funny (This is the movies, people, it's not REAL).
Note to Mr. Green: Stick with your day job
posted on 26 Aug 2009The only reason why I'm not infuriated at Tom Green for this horrendous, aimless piece of garbage is I can't say I got what I didn't expect. Anyone who has seen his show knows that Green has a perverse, eccentric (to say the least) approach to humor. And this is a perverse, eccentric movie. What's missing? The laughs, of course.I've watched "The Tom Green Show" many times, and I almost always laugh out loud. Green doesn't have any "wit" or "structure" behind his humor, but he's the kind of guy you have to laugh AT. And when you do, you'll laugh big. He's an acquired taste, and I've acquired it.This is Green's first starring role, an effort he also directed and co-wrote. His past appearances have been in supporting roles in such films as "Road Trip" (where he was hilarious) and "Charlie's Angels" (where he was lame, but nowhere as lame as the overall film). Perhaps, he should stick with the supporting roles. When he actually tries to write a film with a "story" and "characters," it's a total mess! I'd rather watch him humiliate random civilians on his show. I think what makes the humor on his show click is that there's variety, and you don't know what to expect. A new surprise every week. Like the "Howard Stern Show." In this film, he recycles the same crappy, brainless gags over and over again. This includes verbal gags in which he repeats the same sentence two or more times. It's funny at times, but in the long run it's just silly and dull. There's also a disgusting array of humor involving masturbating animals (as in HUMANS masturbating the animals). OK, so "Eyes Wide Shut" had to be cut for the R-rating because of a few explicit sex scenes, but this movie gets away with an R while displaying an elephant drowning a guy with his semen.Green does some very outrageous stuff on his show, the most notorious being a gag where he sucks milk out of a cow's udder. Well, imagine that outrageousness...UNCENSORED!! As if the stuff he got away with on TV wasn't shocking enough. Some of these gags are downright sadistic. One example is when he delivers a baby and cuts the umbelical cord with his teeth. As a result, blood squirts all over the place. Excuse me if I sound like a prude. If things like that make you crack up--first of all, I won't ask, and second, this is the movie for you and you don't have to read another word of this review. There's also a running gag involving a young boy getting violently injured. As if there wasn't enough sadistic comedy, there's one where Harland Williams gets into a skateboarding accident and the bone from his knee pokes through his flesh. Green comes over and licks the blood off his bloody knee, with a smile on his face.I don't mind watching a disturbing film, as long as it has a message, a moral, some sort of point. And I don't mind dark comedy, as long as it's done right. I believe almost anything can be made funny, with appropriate handling. Just watch the graphically violent comedy "Very Bad Things" and you'll see what I mean. Or even "Fargo"--a better example. I was just glad the whole child abuse subplot in this movie wasn't taken to extremes--that's about the best compliment I can give. There's a pretty funny scene where Green says "F**k you" to his foul-mouthed, pedophilic father (well-played by Rip Torn). Dad takes it literally, pulls down his pants and wants him to do just that. Twisted, but funny...in a twisted way. So in case you're wondering if the title "Freddy Got Fingered" really means what you think it means--you guessed correctly. And Freddy is not Green's character, it's the character of his brother, played by Eddie Kaye Thomas.And of course, we can't have a sadistic comedy without a touch of misogynism. The only major female character is a nymphomaniac!! I'm sure feminists everywhere will p**s in their panties when they watch Green's nympho love interest (Marisa Coughlan) continually insist on giving him a b**w job.I've seen dark, shocking, cynical humor before--but this is borderline Satanic, not to mention dull. I guess Green's intention was to make this like a car accident: have the audience gasp at the horror, yet at the same time have their eyes glued to the scene anticipating what will happen next. Well, I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I could not wait for this movie to be over! The only reason why I watched it straight-through was because I wanted to get it over with, so I won't have to continue watching it another time! And it just got more and more exhausting by the minute.As I said, I like Tom Green--in general--and his show cracks me up, but writing, directing and acting in movies is not his forte. This is simply mindless (I often exaggerate when I use that word, but this time I'm as literal as can be!!!) tripe that tries to excuse itself as low-brow, eccentric comedy. I never said Green was a comic genius, but he does have a good deal of potential. It's hard trying to dignify a man whose humor is capable of making Kindergarteners roll their eyes, but when I'm laughing--I'm laughing. And I don't try to get too scientific about it. But this time around, I wasn't laughing.My score: 3 (out of 10)
Critics need to chill out
posted on 26 Aug 2009Ok, this movie is not the funniest thing I've ever seen. But it has some good laughs in it, and clearly Tom Green is pushing the envelope about as far as it can go...and sometimes it works.Critics follow each other like lemmings, and soon people were calling this the 'worst movie ever made'. All I can say is that this movie made me laugh, which is more than I can say for a lot of the so-called comedies out there. Instead 'seasoned movie buffs' will point you to a movie like 'Meet The Parents' as a clever, thinking man's comedy. And throw some big names like Stiller and DeNiro in there. You spend the whole time watching, with this stupid grin on your face waiting for the funny parts to build....it was just awkward.My recommedation...wait until it hits video release, rent it, go get a six pack, invite over some of your less refined friends, make a pot of chili, and you'll have a hoot watching Mr. Green.
Dear God, whats wrong with this country
posted on 26 Aug 2009There are times in life when you say to yourself, Im Sorry. When I think of all the things I could have been doing instead of seeing this movie, it boggles my mind. Not only is this the worst movie I have ever seen, it makes other pieces of s**t like Dude Wheres My Car look like Gladiator. Don't get me wrong, I think Tom Green can be funny, but you can only be so stupid. The worst thing that happened was this movie got an R rating, that allowed Tom Green to utilize the grossest and unfunny stuff his mind could muster, and the whole baby scene, i wanted to go see any other movie immediately. I am ashamed of Tom Green, ashamed in myself, and came very close to demanding my money back. This is hands down the worst movie ever made. If you go see this, you are making the biggest mistake of your life. DO NOT SEE IT! IF YOU SEE IT, YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF! The only joy I got out of it was knowing that I was able to see the worst movie ever made. If anyone knows a movie that is worse let me know, because I would like to hear it.PS: Note to Tom Green, Animal dick is never funny. Ever. Just a tip if you remain in Hollywood after this piece of garbage
Two drink minimun
posted on 22 Aug 2009OK, first of all, I can speak from experience (exeperience checked by spell checker) that "Freddy Got Fingered" is the FUNNIEST FILM EVER if you're .08% over the the California "DUI" offense intoxication level. Aside from Tom Green being the main comedic attraction, it's a great film nonetheless especially due to Rip Torn being Tom Green's antithesis (is that really a word?) It is important to realize that the DUI laws relate to the blood-alcohol level AT THE TIME OF DRIVING - not at the time of the test; there may be a significant difference, not to mention difficulties of proof. It is also important to understand that tests - particularly breath tests - are unreliable and susceptible to attack by an attorney who is knowledgeable in the science of blood-alcohol analysis. On that note, Betty RULES, and Freddy Got Fingered is the FUNNIEST FILM EVER!!!
Genius! Utter Hilarity!
posted on 20 Aug 2009This is a great film and no one is going to tell me otherwise. I laughed all the way through this film-watching it for 7th time. I find Tom Green Hilarious! And his use of shock value and his insaneness make him a brilliant comedian.He is going over the top on grossness to satirize how stupid films have become these days, by having gross scenes for no reason except to be gross.The first half hour-seems to be the most gross, with about 5 disgusting scenes, then the second half-hour is Tom Green doing his crazy antics like on the TV show. (Backwards man, Sausage Song, The Fancy Restaurant etc)The last 20 min seem to be a mixture of the two, with some extra bits of surprise humour from guest stars, to signs being held up (you'll know wat i mean if u seen it)I recommend everyone sees the film, (I saw it first when i waz 14 and watched it with my dad) And I don't think it's really as gross as everyone says it is (although i'm probably decensitized to grossness lol)So to some it up, if ur a fan of wacky, gross or Tom Green humour, you'll enjoy this movie- if ur not, stay away from it and don't see it if you know you'll hate it.
Bad, and definitely not in a good way
posted on 19 Aug 2009It appears that this movie has brought to a screeching halt the absolutely pointless career of Tom Green, who might win the all time award for Least Deserving Of Fame. You wonder how this movie got made at all: my guess is some studio lost a bet. If you really do want a movie that's based on shock value and causing offense, get "Pink Flamingos" instead. If you want to waste your money on this, hey, send it to me instead. If you want to see Tom Green, start checking around at your neighborhood McDonald's; he'll be the one making the fries.
I didn't know a movie could be so jumbled.
posted on 15 Aug 2009I went into this movie hearing that it's not really that good, but I like Tom Green, so I decided to give it a chance. Did I do the wrong thing? Yes. This movie is really bad. Even for fans of the show, it wears a little thin when you enter the hour and a half mark. There were a couple moments where I laughed at the material and other times when I just laughed at how truly bad it was. I understand what Green was trying to accomplish with the story, but I just feel he went about it the wrong way. He was trying to portray the importance of making your parents proud after they raise you, but I don't think you do that by ummm doing "things" to animals. You don't want to know what those "things" are trust me. In the future I would recommend that Tom stick to acting and let someone else write the movies.
One Of The Worts Movies Ever Made
posted on 14 Aug 2009Don´t make the same mistake I made, don´t watch this movie, IT STINKS. I generally like The Tom Green Show, and I sorta hoped I was in for a "treat", when I rented this movie. Boy was I wrong. I am amazed that this movie ever got funded, seeing as how it is only a repetition of his usual routines, which can be quite funny in small amounts, but which definately isn´t suited for a movie as long as this (83 min. is 75 min. too long). There is no real story in this movie, no plot, no characters with whom you can relate to, there is only Tom Green and his own demented ideas of what is funny, and that simply isn´t enough to keep you interested for more than 2-3 min. tops. And I can´t understand that any actors would be affiliated with a movie as bad as this.But then again I might be wrong, and this might be a masterpiece, but if that is the case, I guess I am just too old to appreciate it properly.
Guess what "Freddy Got Fingered" and a vacuum cleaner have in common...
posted on 10 Aug 2009Good Gravy this movie was a waste of time. I even liked Tom Green's show on MTV, I thought it was hysterical. However, I wasn't sure how his style of comedy would produce laughs in a motion picture. After seeing this movie, I realize that it doesn't."Freddy Got Fingered" is unlike any movie you've ever seen. However, that's not a good thing. Weird does not equal good.I'm even a big fan of 'gross-out' humor. Baseketball, South Park, There's Something About Mary, Scary Movie, Man Bites Dog; None of those movies offended me. Freddy Got Fingered however, did offend me. It offended me by not being funny.Before I saw this movie I genuinely liked Tom Green. Now, after he stole 87 minutes out of my life. I long for his career to end.
Who was the stupid film executive to let Tom Green go behind the camera? And if so, why weren't these two shot!
posted on 10 Aug 2009I have read all the comments saying Tom Green was doing something "unique" or "something different". Face it, Green did neither of these astonishing acts or even remotely tried to do such an achievement. The fact that a major film company (20th Century Fox to be exact) financed and released this movie is appalling. No, I take that back. This is not a movie! Hell, it's not even a movie at all. More like a rancid piece of plastic celluloid dipped in cra p to make it pass of like a feature film for theatrical screenings. And what's shocking is that IT ACTUALLY PLAYED IN THEATRES!First off, let me explain how I was pulled in to see this "film". Oh it was a hot day. It was so hot it made the Sahara Desert look like sunny California. On that hot day, I saw the advertisements for FREDDY GOT FINGERED and it looked funny (but we all know about that "placing-the-funny-part-of-the-film-in-the-trailer-to-get-us-unsuspecting-a udience-members-in-the-theatre" routine). Nonetheless, I was laughing. Either that or it was the heat that was making me delerious with laughter. Well, me and my friend decided to go see this so-called "Funny Film"on it's opening day. As soon as I entered the theatre, I was excited. That and the air conditioner was on so it just made my day.As I sat down, I knew this was made by Tom Green. I have seen his TV show and felt that he was a bit "creative", but I felt that since he was now doing mainstream he would do better. Now let me veer of for a minute and tell you about Tom Green. I saw his breif performance in ROAD TRIP and I felt he "had potential". But his character was short and felt that without his entire presence in ROAD TRIP the film endind up being the same old "bad teen flick" that tries to upstage FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH. I felt that if Green had a LONGER part in ROAD TRIP the film could have been better. But after seeing FREDDY GOT FINGERED, Green's LONG performance made me take back what I originally thought about him.So the movie starts, it was good. But after the first minute, THE FILM DIVES RIGHT INTO BEING UNWATCHABLE. Here is the story. Tom Green plays some dumb wannabe cartoonist who tries to get in the business, but he is told that in order to be a successful cartoonist the cartoon must have a plot (like this film really has one) and get to know his characters. So now Green does his bad sticks and...Well like I said, NO SPECIFIC PLOT WHATSOEVER.Their were some funny moments and Rip Torn was hilarious as Green's father, but I don't expect that Green's directorial tallents (and I use the term very LOOSELY)will be exposed in other features, bad jokes that go NOWHERE, and Rip Torn's career seems to be on a stand still becasue of this movie.Green's use of gross out comedy just does not work. He goes so gross out he even throws in some animal guts and a birth sequence so he can go over the top. It's like he is trying to ape director Peter Jackson's features BAD TASTE (1987) and BRAINDEAD (1992; U.S. Title: DEAD ALIVE). But here is the problem. Jackson's BAD TASTE and BRAINDEAD are FUNNY gory horror-comedies that led him to make HEAVENLY CREATURES (1994), THE FRIGHTENERS (1996) and the upcoming LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Where has Green gone now? Nowhere. In fact, Green has been out of sight for so long he is forgotten by now (except his film, which needs to be forgotten). Only his fans defend him. And as much as I like their persistance in getting Green to come out and try again, I would give up because his work is worthless and not worth saving. And worst of all, HE IS NOT TALENTED!FREDDY GOT FINGERED is a pure example of Hollywood at it's worst. Though PEARL HARBOR took that name later on, FREDDY GOT FINGERED remains a bad film altogether. It is forgettable, unwatchable, and not entertaining at all. To say Tom Green is a gifted comic is like saying Jim Carrey is REALLY FUNNY! Both are not funny, but I would rather watch Jim Carrey act like a retard than see Tom Green grabing an animal's penis (and yes, Green does that in his film).So if you are THAT DESPERATE to see Tom Green's first (and only) directorial debut, watch FREDDY GOT FINGERED at your own risk. But to those who are able to see how bad his film is without watching it then good for you. Me, I payed my $7.50 and I was not pleased.
U cannot deny it
posted on 07 Aug 2009All of you who hate this flick...what did you expect ? A Tom Green movie in which he would act like John Malkovich ? Or another American High-School comedy ? No, this is pure over-the-edge stuff and that's what to expect from a movie written and directed by Tom Green. Ever seen his shows ?
This movie is also a hilarious comedy of a guy who's 28-years old and doesn't think about family and stuff like that (that happens when you're a comic artist like Green in his film and sometimes people like that became real stars on the scene in real life too). But his stories suck but the drawings are pretty good (which artist never heard know this line ?). And then he discovers his father as the real story... plus the Green-typical style of physical and out-of-brain action that his viewers love.
It's just a comedy over the edge and the negative critics just give him what he wants...so he has it all the way !!!
DVD features: The MTV making of special where you see his improvised actions during the making ("Corn On The Cob!" ; watch it !), a language track recorded from the World Premiere during the whole movie (also very interesting idea); and a lots of good commentaries...for a fan again !
This movie was great
posted on 07 Aug 2009I love Tom Green, and I think he is a brilliant man. The movie actually makes a lot more sense if you watch the commentary, which is a whole form of entertainment in itself. Apparently a lot of the scenes in the movie were based on real life events. This is one of my faves.
Dumb and Amateur, But Sometimes Funny
posted on 03 Aug 2009Tom Green's Freddy Got Fingered, which he wrote, directed, and stars in, is not very good work. What makes us laugh, though, is how stupid Tom Green is, from "getting inside" a moose, to playing with a horse's...you guessed it. I was definitely laughing at times, but overall the acting was pretty bad and the whole idea was so dumb. Maybe you could rent it for a good laugh, but don't buy the DVD unless you're a big fan!
My ear just popped
posted on 02 Aug 2009There is no funnier movie on the face of the planet. There never will be. It is the epitome of comic genius and it is a shame that Green is no longer under the spotlight. Most people are too stupid or ignorant to understand this movie, hence the low rating. Before you attempt to watch this movie take an IQ test, if you fall below 150 you probably wont like it, but there's still hope. Take a humor test, if you enjoy such shows as South Park (the last 4 seasons) and Ali G, you should thoroughly enjoy this film. Most people cannot appreciate such fine comedy because they always look for a punchline. If you are one of these people I would advise you to read knock-knock jokes, you can find libraries of them in the children's section of any bookstore, or perhaps watch a Gallagher tape. This is humor for intelligent people who enjoy Green's antics. It's sad that this country would rather watch the new Ashton Kutcher movie than sit back and enjoy a true work of art.
This is NOT the worst movie of the year...
posted on 29 Jul 2009Scatalogically speaking, this might be the BEST film of the year. You have Tom Green, starring as an aspiring animator who goes from one tasteless menagerie to another. Among the film's highlights (or lowlights, perhaps) are Green cutting open a dead roadkill dear and wearing it over his back, Green giving a hand-job to an elephant, and Rip Torn screaming to his son, played by Green "Do you want to f*&k me?" as he pulls down his pants. Without giving away too much, I would say that if you do not enjoy being disgusted, this movie will not be for you. However, if idiocy and bathroom jokes (a la MTV's "Jackass") are what makes your motor run, Freddy Got Fingered might just be worth a rental. Just don't hold me responsible if you hate it.
tom green you're fired
posted on 27 Jul 2009Gord Brody (Tom Green) a 28-year-old slacker who aspires to be an animator of Hollywood cartoons. After his dreams of working for studio mogul Dave Davidson (Anthony Michael Hall) temporarily wash out, along with his thankless job at a cheese factory, Gord returns home to live with his parents, Jim (Rip Torn) and Julie (Julie Hagerty). Jim wishes that Gord would simply grow up, move out of the basement, and get a real job like his younger brother Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas), who works in at a bank. When the battle of wills between Gord and Jim heats up, Gord devises various stunt-like schemes to drive his father bonkers, including the bogus charge that their father molested Freddy as a youngster. Freddy Got Fingered was pretty bad, Tom Green should quit making this kind of trash, but you gotta love Rip Torn though, he is cool.
Hilarious!
posted on 27 Jul 2009I have to say this is one of the funniest movies i have ever see. Tom Green is truly an artist, this film should definitely not of won any raspberry awards. I have heard some people say this is one of the worst films ever made but it is certainly not. Anyone who is a fan of Tom Green or if you just want a laugh BUY!!! this film. You will not regret it.
A TOTAL MASTER PIECE!!
posted on 31 Aug 2009this is the greatest movie ever...!! The movie has an excellent plot, a funny storyline, and tome Green Is amazzing. This movie contains so many classic lines such as "I GOT A JOBBY DADDY, or" DIng-DONG, "THIS IS A FANCY RESTURANT "!!. I don't understand the people who r tome greens fans and do not like this movie. This movie is such a classic. The DVD features are also cool too. IF u like tom Green, just buy the movie!!
