MTV's maniacal prankster, Tom Green, takes his surreal nonsense to the movies in Freddy Got Fingered. Playing a Portland, Oregon, goofball who dreams of becoming an animator, Green barely stitches together a rudimentary plot, but he does pile on the kind of agonizing nonsense that is his stock-in-trade: chewing through an umbilical cord, licking somebody's compound fracture, and presenting a sausage-and-keyboard contraption that surely would have delighted early-20th-century Dadaists. Predictably, Green loses something in the transition from television's freeform, microscopic glare to the more formal demands of cinema, and the result isn't pretty. The trouble is, this stuff is largely unsuitable for the broad scope of a movie and, in contrast to the guerrilla tactics of Green's TV show, is prefabricated for the lumbering process of filmmaking. That, in turn, diminishes the effectiveness of Green's grenade-throwing humor and makes Freddy Got Fingered something of a desperate experience. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars C'mon Folks, it isn't THAT bad, and it's Tom Green - what did you expect - Gone With The Wind? January 14, 2007

By R. J. Marques

Format:DVD

Ok, I'm only writing this because I wound up popping this DVD into my player last night and watching it again. I bought this movie years ago after first seeing it and laughing like an imbecile pretty much throughout.

Yes, it's sick humor. No, it's not for everyone. But this IS Tom Green! I can't imagine what some of the people who reviewed this movie were expecting - Citizen Kane? C'MON PEOPLE!

There is precious little plot - just enough for each Tom Green site gag or gross out gag, which is basically what Tom Green does and is known for. Letting him direct this film, I can't imagine what people thought they'd see? Most people I know did not like this film, and a close friend of mine still will make fun of me for liking it, if I ever bring up the title, but so what?

If lowbrow humor, sight gags and gross out scenes make you chuckle, this film is for you. Also, great acting, as usual, from Rip Torn - he's hysterical.

Just remind yourself it's a Tom Green vehicle, and you're only watching it for the lowbrow humor, you'll be fine. If you sit down to watch a major movie production, yes, you'll be disappointed but I don't think that was even close to the aim of this movie.

Still ridiculously funny after all these years. The baby scene, the "Backwards Man" scene, and the sausage scene are absolutely inane, yet priceless.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dumb November 12, 2001

By A Customer

Format:VHS Tape

This movie would be a good reason for Amazon to offer the option of negative stars (black holes, perhaps?) in it's rating system. I gave it one star because it was the lowest they offer. You can count this movie's funny bits on one hand and still have enough digits left over (...) must surely be the result of some Hollywood Bigwig (Drew Barrymore perhaps?) losing a bet. The funniest thing was probably the animated Zebra guy's song and dance routine, which would have been a lot more enjoyable, if I hadn't been so thoroughly annoyed with the rest of the movie which alternated between being boring and really, really disgusting. Thanks, Tom Green, you certainly have more (...) than you claim to have.

1.0 out of 5 stars Revenge of the Non-Cinema August 5, 2011

By Scott T. Rivers VINE™ VOICE

Format:DVD

Each year, a wealth of celluloid sludge is dumped upon the moviegoing public. How "Freddy Got Fingered" made it to theaters in 2001 will remain one of life's eternal mysteries. Did the MPAA actually watch this garbage? Despite an inexplicable cult following, the terminally curious should avoid Tom Green's pathetic journey into the realm of non-cinema. Perhaps it is time for Amazon to create a zero-star rating.
