This movie is pretty funny, but you need a very peculiar sense of humor to appreciate it. If you're like me and burst out laughing at the idea of wild animalistic clowns making honking noises with their red noses to signal their attack, Freddy Got Fingered will make you laugh so hard green goo will spurt from your nipples!

To Like Tom Green is to Love Tom Green. If you don't like Tom Green, you won't like this movie. One has to understand and like his humor to get this movie. Too many people looked at this film literally, and to like this movie you have to understand that Tom Green sees the absurd in life and he goes full bore with it and it is absolutely hilarious. Freddy Got Fingered is such a funny movie because Tom Green knows he's making something so off the wall, ridiculous and stupid to the core and that's the brilliance and laugh out loud comedy within this film. It's like Married with Children, the brilliant writers of that show saw the absurdity in life and went with it and only a few truly can get that type of comedy, the rest look at it literally(which is a shame). Well worth the watch, Freddy Got Fingered makes me laugh every time I watch it and if you're one who likes Tom Green and the absurdity and stupidity of every day life, you will love this film and laugh out loud at it. So funny, a must see comedy!

A lot of critics and viewers can't get past the hand full of scenes that involve shock for the pure sense of shock. When you take away what amounts to a few minutes of pointless bad taste, Freddy Got Fingered is a remarkably funny film. The films finer moments far outweigh the scenes that people most often (mistakenly) judge it by. The interactions between Tom Green and his father (Rip Torn) are what make this film a comedic masterpiece. The scenes between father and son are so great that they make up for the films flimsier moments ten times over. I was never a big fan of Tom Green - I don't dislike him or his past works, but this film would not work without Tom Green. Again, what makes this film a cult classic is the interaction between Tom Green and Rip Torn (I can't say that enough). Freddy Got Fingered has mores genuine gut busting laugh content than a vast majority of comedies that have been released since. To enjoy FGF you really have to define what you want out of a comedy - if it is to laugh and be truly entertained for 90 minutes, give FGF a shot. Think of the movie as a collection of short scenes and discount the overall narrative because it is not about the story. How many times has someone played a funny clip on YouTube while you're hanging out wasting time? - A clip that is short and just flat out hilarious - Freddy Got Fingered is at least 50-60 minutes of pure enjoyment especially when played out of the context of the movie as a whole. Throw in the production value and you have something you probably will not see released by a major studio ever again. I am extremely selective in what I view and would rather watch Goodfellas for the 100th time than waste an hour and a half viewing Wild Hogs for the first time. While I am usually spot on in assessing a film's critical reception, the consensus that Freddy Got Fingered has garnered is truly without warrant. Freddy Got Fingered is an outlier that deserves a second look. It's not just good - it's an absolutely exceptional collection of enjoyable moments that has been overshadowed by the few that have caused audiences to prejudge a comedic masterpiece.

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.
