Television star Tom Green makes his directorial debut with this gross-out comedy. Green stars as Gord Brody, a 28-year-old slacker who aspires to be an animator of Hollywood cartoons. After his dreams... read more read more... 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 a responsible position 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. Marisa Coughlan co-stars as Gord's wheelchair-bound, nymphomaniac, amateur rocket-scientist girlfriend Betty, while comedian and Green's fellow Canada native Harland Williams plays Gord's oddball neighbor Darren. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    I wasn't offended by Freddy Got Fingered like everyone else who hates it. I think everyone who hates this film hates it for the wrong reasons. Firstly i'm perfectly fine with over the top gross out humour... read more as long as it's funny but this film was not and just horribly inconsistent and entirely rotten to the core. The film makes almost no attempt at making the lead character likable and he's just running around, shouting and being an idiot, and not in the usual comedy movie kind of way. Also, i'm perfectly fine with fictional beastiality but not when it's really happening and not plainly obvious animal cruelty which is something this insult of a movie has a lot of. As soon as it began I wanted it to end, the film rightly deserves it's title as one of the worst films ever made. It's essentialy a compilation of depressing, appauling animal cruelty, mean dislikable characters, jokes that are far too desperate and is in general a gigantic piece of low brow trash. Nearer to the end of the film there is a piece of card someone holds up that say's something on the lines of "when is this film going to f**king end?" I'd be lying if I didn't say I wanted to say that about 10 minutes in. I loathed it.

    One of the most unappreciated movies of the decade, Tom Green directs one of the silliest movies of 2001. With scenes that include running around in deer skin to scuba diving in the shower, this is one of the best comedies in my movie list.

    I'm not going to lie this movie and tom green well...he is funny yes and same goes for the film but still I admit its very underrated and he really does make you laugh none stop with that hole backwards man thing and how he is really just always pissing off his dad and accuses hi... read morem of molesting Freddy. Well dumb humor that somehow ends up working not really fine but still funny...

    Gord is like a retard or a slow person who knows all we do know is that he lives with his parents and wants to be an animator so he leaves to live in LA and of course knowing Tom Green he is going to do some crazy stupid shit. So he is turned down but told to get inside the head of one of his creations to make it better, so he heads back home to course mayhem to complete his design and of course he accuses his basted of a father that he touches his brother Freddy.

    I think the funniest thing in the movie is likely the skateboard scene or the backwards man those two were just funny the others sick and still really good. Tom Green is a horrid actor that still makes me smile and same goes for everything else.

    I come to a close with really nothing to say other then dumb but funny.

    A stupid, harsh and totally unimpressive garbage from Tom Green, he was once comical, but with this, he ruins his comedy brand, and sinks to whole new low. Crude, tasteless and unfunny only the stupidest people would find this funny. Masturbating and elephant and snorkeling in a ... read moretoilet is some of the ''funny'' elements to be had here. Bad, this film makes any work by Uwe Boll or Ed Wood look like a Scorsese film by comparison.

    I cannot believe what I have just watched. This is a disgrace to cinema in the best way possible. I have no comment but it is one of the dumbest movies that I have ever laid my eyes on, and for some reason I can't get enough. It's ridiculous to think that I want to watch it.

    This movie should technically be around 1 to 1 1/2 stars but damn this movie is crazy. I watched it all the time in middle school and early high school of all the random places I could have watched it. This movie is so ridiculous that it appeals to that level of humor. Most pe... read moreople would consider this movie as sick and out of its mind, but because it is so out there and basically makes no sense, has no purpose, it therefore is amusing. The "Daddy would like some sausage" scene is probably one of the funniest scenes ever.

    Like a poor version of a John Waters movie, I mean the whole attack on conformity & common decensy & exercise in bad taste thing, But the worst movie ever? I don't think so

    Waaay too gross!
    I liked the song he was singing with a keyboard and sausages on strings - but the rest was just gross. The premise is trouble alone. The horsie scene and the dead deer scene were a bit shocking. Rip Torn was good as the alleged-abusive father.

    Disgustingly sick, but missing the comedy. I should laugh, and when the boy gets hit in the face with a ball I did. Balls and body parts are hilarious. Which is why Dodgeball is such as great film. Anyway yeah, Tom Green is just too irritating, and lowers the tone in scenes such ... read moreas Elephant masturbation.

Green just comes off as one of those weird, fey guys who's a lot less interesting than he thinks he is. Full Review

It's the ego trip of a talentless showoff with nothing to say, and worse, Green knows it.
