Tom Green doesn't want you to think that this movie is smart. Quite the contrary. However, the complete inanity and absurdity in this movie is not enough to counter the abundance of terrible jokes. To its credit, it manages to stay entertaining throughout, despite being somewhat unbearable at points. The meta humor is quickly unveiled in a few (very few) brilliant scenes. But at the end of the day, they're nothing. They mean nothing and have no substance or message to give. Tom Green makes it clear that is the point.

I had to throw the DVD case of these movie against a dumpster just to feel normal again. There's no consistency with the character, other than them being consistently annoying. I felt like Tom Green actively hated the idea of people enjoying movies, and that's why he made this.

I have to ask myself a question: "What did I just watch and how long will it take to erase from my memory?" Tom Green's new picture, "Freddy Got Fingered" is a disgusting, offensive and downright repulsive charade of stupidity wrapped in what Tom Green seems to think is funny. He wrote this garbage and it shows he can't write a screenplay, act or direct. I feel bad for anyone who worked on this picture and it begs to ask the question on how this picture got an R rating and why 20th Century Fox greenlit it? They must be really desperate.Tom Green is a Canadian actor from Pembroke Ontario and seems to come off as having his own brand of humor that is not funny at all. He was the star of his on TV Show a few years back called "The Tom Green Show" and now he writes this film as a leap to the big screen. That would be a good move if he could write a screenplay, act or direct. The fact that he wrote this and has his character flogging a horse ten minutes into the movie is disgusting and what's more disturbing is that Green looked like he enjoyed it. He should know that his brand of humor, if you want to call it humor, is not funny and he should have himself checked out. Eddie Kay Thomas should have himself examined because he looks like he is being held at gunpoint throughout the movie.Green's character Gord is a 28-year-old slacker who lives in his parent's basement to his father's dismay. He is unsocialized, hostile, maniac and they buy him a car, only to get him out of the house. He can't handle working in a cheese sandwich factory or having a decent conversation with anyone because he screws up everything he does. Why is that? Gord is a sociopathic manchild that no one can stand to be around. Marisa Coughlin who plays, Betty, who becomes his girlfriend, I guess, only because she was told to for the role. She is in a wheelchair and we are never told why. If you want character depth, look elsewhere. I'm sure she wanted to run after seeing what she got herself into. Anyway, Gord returns home to drive his parents nuts and that is really what this picture is about. I will get to the title later after because it's as stupid as this film.What's even more strange is that the picture has some sort of weird obsession with Cheese and Sausage and it makes Green look unintelligent as a frame for anything he does. At one point he rigs a pulley system so he can eat sausage and work on his drawings. He claims he is being creative but creativity would have to involve intelligence. What the hell is intelligent about this whole scene? It's like Green is trying to take the stupidest things and the most bizarre and jams them all into one movie. Strangely enough, because of how bizarre and whacked out this movie is, I can see it resurfacing years later as that "That bizarre film Tom Green did." Last's hope and pray that's not the case. I really hope no one has to see Tom Green gut a dead Stag and prance around in the bloody skin dressed as a coat in ten years. So, the title "Freddy Got Fingered" is actually the last 20 mins of the picture. Gord causes his father to go bonkers and he tells his mother "You should not let him treat you like that." Gord referring to his father and clearly showing he doesn't know right from wrong because he is responsible for the scene. Anyway, he tells his mother "You should go out and have sex with a total stranger." What? Who the hell says things like this, even for a laugh? I got the sense that a lot of the relationship that Gord has with his parents in the movie may possibly have something in connection with Green's relationship with his own parents and his real life childhood. This would explain a few things seeing as how Green needed the inspiration from somewhere for this out-of-control character. Gord ends up in therapy with his mom and dad and he accuses his dad or touching his younger brother. The therapist tells his dad she has to call the police but yet, Gord throws something at a window, smashes it and sits on the window sill like an animal and screams at the top of his lungs and the therapist doesn't ee the sociopath in him? Oh, who cares.There's a lot of things, I left out because they are too disgusting and really, it doesn't matter because this film should never have been made. In the end, this is 90 mins of disgusting stupidity that shows Tom Green scrapes the bottom of the barrel with material that he thinks is funny but it's not and he should never be given money to make another movie. The ending is about at disgusting as you can get and I'm surprised Rip Torn didn't have a heart attack making this garage. To quote Michael Anthony Hall "It Sucks!"0/10 (ZERO)

I genuinely believe that if this movie had better dialogue, better acting, and a more grounded script, it could have been one of the most groundbreaking comedies of the decade. While it has a reputation as one of the worst movies ever made, I've seen way worse. At its core, this movie is all about Gordy, an immature man- child who wants to prove to his father that he is a man. This simple and age-old setup is turned upside down and told through the veil of a sadistic anti-comedy. He goes to absurd, even grotesque lengths to prove that he is independent and self-sufficient. Gordy masturbates a horse and an elephant to prove to himself and his father that he has "grasped manhood". As he grabs the horse's penis, he shouts "Look at me, Daddy! I'm a farmer, Daddy" indicating he wants to prove his independence to his father, the farmer symbolizing a hard worker that produces something valuable to society. The fact that he makes the elephant ejaculate all over his father and right after that his father accepts him shows that he has succeeded.If you couldn't tell from that last paragraph, the film is blatantly offensive, and if it offends you or grosses you out, then it has done its job. Its something of a satire on the increasingly gratuitous and stupid R-rated sex comedies and dumb teen comedies of the 90s. Some of the random celebrity cameos are just there to bring the movie some credibility, just like the movies its making fun of, but also seem to be poking fun at them (like Shaq's cameo). The sheer ridiculousness of everything that happens is itself pretty entertaining and funny. Some people find this movie absolutely hilarious, and I'll admit I'm one of those people.Don't get me wrong, this movie is FAR from a masterpiece. The acting is mostly pretty bad, the story drags at points, and all the dialogue sounds like it was written my Tom Green himself. If the movie was more realistic, Gordy would have been fired twice and arrested at least three times. There are a lot of jokes in the movie that Tom Green has admitted are just inside jokes between him and his friends. That's great for you and your friends, but the general movie going audience won't get half your references. In my humble opinion, this movie had a lot of potential, and in some ways Tom Green may be some kind of comedic genius, but the film's sloppy execution holds it back from being anything more than a fun novelty movie for me to troll my unsuspecting friends with on movie night.
