... View MoreIt was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
... View MoreGreat example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

... View MoreA film that is equal parts satirical, meta, stupid, fantastic, terrible, smart, funny, mind numbing and disturbing. 'Freddie Got Fingered' is a film that a lot of people hate for good reason but for me I personally can't relate. The film doesn't care if your disturbed, it just keeps assaulting you with goofy situation after situation and I can't help but laugh over the absurdity of it all. It obvious that Tom Green intentionally wanted to make a film that made fun of the conventions of gross out comedy and I think he succeeded.Tom put anything he desired on screen and it's equal parts mesmerizing and disturbing. The fact that they let him put all these uncomfortable things on screen just elevates the film to the most unique comedy I have seen in the gross out genre. There are various tropes here that I've seen in other comedy films that are made fun of. Everything is so extreme that Tom creates his own style of humor that wouldn't of been possible with more studio interference. While the film does excel at shocking there are a lot of genuinely good scenes throughout the film. While Gordy is unlikable he is very engaging for me and Tom Green really portrayed him well. The twisted take on the 'underdog' character was really refreshing to see, Rip Torn gives a memorable performance throughout, the scenes with Tom Green and Anthony Michael Hall are hilarious and show great chemistry, Gordy's relationship with Betty while extremely bizarre kind of had an earnest and sweet nature which I found heart warming. I could go on but that would be missing the point a little bit. Sure the film is doesn't meet the typical standards of a good movie but for what it's worth there is a craft for creating something so different, extreme and polarizing especially when you compare it to other comedies that were coming out around this time.Somehow understood and misunderstood 'Freddy Got Fingered' is a film that I will continue to unlock it's secrets as the years go by.
... View MoreRoger Ebert's review of this movie says it all. "This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as barrels."This is a horrifically bad movie and if you watch it you'll regret it and never be able to get that two hours of your life back again. Tom Green has been funny to me before but he is so unfunny in this I had to just shake my head through the entire movie. The writing is tragically unfunny with no recognizable jokes or moments that will make you laugh or even smile. It's just an hour and a half joke Tom Green played on the audience, "look what I made you watch," that luckily had the beneficial side effect of completely killing his career so at least we never have to watch another one of these crimes against humanity.
... View MoreNot a 10 but i've never laughed so damn hard in my entire life. this movie is gold
... View MoreActually, I'm deeply sad because I've never seen Tom's shows until few months ago. My life could've been way better if I saw any of his shows as a kid. This movie has pretty much the essence of his series, with a difference that he acts here. He gives approval to the healthy dose of insanity which every person should express in order not to be the part of uniformed majority and keep the sparkle of unique "self". His work is basically a course of how to repair the old ego, and boost it as it's the new one. Another thing that I really like about his work is that he NEVER suggested drugs, prostitution, murder, violence, cigarettes or alcohol in his series or movie. For a moment I was worried about my approval of Tom's work because I saw many reviews of people saying how Tom's work is "unethical" and "disgrace". After you enter into their profiles you can see where they rate high some movies which scream with violence and vices and there you can see how they're just hypocritical conformists. I can freely say that Tom Green is a guru of fun life
