Summary: great!
Review: This is one of the best movies of all times. No doubt about it.

The movie is about a man trying to find himself in this world and the stuff we all long for : Love. Happiness. Acceptance.

A theme Ingmar Bergamn used on his classic 1959 "Wild Strawberries."

There's one scene where Gordon confronts his father. Make sure you have a box of kleenex next to you because it'll make you cry. It made me cry and reminded me of one of the last scenes from Ingmar Bergman's "Autumn Sonata"

Tom Green is a comedy master.

You'll love this movie and the DVD is great.

Tom Green is the next Ingmar Bergman.

Summary: RATES #2 IN MY TOP TEN MOVIES OF ALL TIME
Review: AFTER I SAW AUTSIN POWERS II: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, I THOUGHT NO MOVIE COULD EVER BE FUNNIER..THEN I WATCHED FREDDIE GOT FINGERED. MY LIFE PARTNER AND I AGREED THAT IT WAS ONE OF THE BEST "DARK COMEDIES" WE HAD EVER SEEN. ALL THE VIOLENCE, SEX, AND UTTER BRUTALITY, WITHOUT ANY REAL STORY TO TIE IT TOGETHER IS WHAT HOLLYWOOD NEEDED. IT BROKE THE MOLD, IN MUCH THE SAME WAY KUBRICK'S "DR. STRANGELOVE" DID DECADES AGO. (IN MANY WAYS FREDDY GOT FINGERED IS EVEN A BETTER FILM) WITH HACKS LIKE BEN STILLER, JACK BLACK, AND OTHERS IN THE MARKETPLACE, I'M GLAD A COMIC GEM LIKE TOM GREEN CAN AT LEAST GET A CHANCE TO SHAKE THINGS UP. RIP TORN WAS ALSO BRILLIENT AS STANLEY (MY CURRENT "MATE") REMINDED ME WHEN WE WATCHED THIS ON THE D.V.D PLAYER IN OUR BEDROOM LAST NIGHT. THIS SHOULD FIND A PLACE IN YOUR COLLECTION NEXT TO ANIMAL HOUSE, DINER, ANNIE HALL, GOONIES, CLERKS, FERRIES BULLIES DAY OFF, SAY ANYTHING, AND OTHER CLASSIC COMEDIES, BECUASE IT IS BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM.

Summary: The genius is gone ...
Review: I had been a BIG fan of Tom Green's since he started doing his show in Canada. I never missed an episode. (That was before he went MTV). He was not to everyone's taste and many would say "disgusting" but to me he was a genius in a bizarre sort of way who knew how to create a "masterpiece". Then, he was given his own show on MTV. Some of the shows were funny but in no way was it the same. The magic was gone and so was Tom's sense of creativity .. or at least it was slipping .. Then, "Freddy Got Fingered" arrived on the big screen. WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT !! The Tom Green who we knew and watched from the very beginning of his tv career was gone. What you will see on screen is movie garbage at its worst ! It's comparable to watching someone masturbate on screen ! Now, how funny would that be ?? (I hope amazon.com prints this unedited because I want to disuade others from viewing this filth). Tom Green had the ability and the freedom to put something worthwile on film and he blew it big time ! This is definitely the worst thing I saw on video in my 30 years of life. I'm sorry to say but Tom Green needs serious mental help. I guess posts like mine will stirr up curiosity and many will rent or buy this movie. My advice is to rent and see for yourself. But for god's sake don't buy this crap and save your money.

Summary: Daddy would you like some sausage?
Review: This movie is by far the greatest film ever by Tom Green. He's excellent acting is a masterpiece. It's truly amazing how he can make a simple scene into a big extravangza. For example, the scene where he gets the LeBaron. He makes funny of his brother for at least 3 minutes and it hilarious! I can't wait to view this movie again because it will be contiual laughs. I recommend this movie to anyone who enjoyed the Tom Green Show or the movie Road Trip. Both of these star Tom Green. This is a GREAT movie!!!!!!!!

Summary: you'll love it or you'll hate it
Review: Tom Green breaks onto the Hollywood scene with a film that is offensive, disgusting, and cruel. Any decent person will declare Tom Green the AntiChrist after viewing this film. But, in an EXTREMELY twisted and bizarre sort of way, it is also very funny and sweet.
Granted, he definitely takes things WAY over the top, down the other side, and all the way back for more, but, like it or not, that is the very reason that Tom Green exists in the first place. His MTV show was all about pushing the boundaries of what you can say or do on TV, and this movie is all about doing absolutely anything to get a laugh. You have to understand that Tom Green does not do these things because he thinks you will laugh, he does them because they make HIM laugh. Twirling a newborn over his head by the umbilical cord, manually stimulating farm animals, having a young boy get battered and bloodied every time he appears oncreen, these are all things that Tom finds funny. The truly amazing thing about this movie is that, through all of the gross-out crap and very, very, stupid things he does throughout, it still somehow manages to come across as innocent and sweet. The critics and most people, really, will not agree with that statement at all, but it is all done in good humor. He's not neccesarily trying to shock YOU, but rather he is attempting to one-up himself in each successive scene.
Tom Green is an artist, and though his vision is distorted and bizarre, he is still an artist, like it or not. Even if you take away the gross-out humor, of which there is a lot, the movie is still peppered with brilliant bits. The backwards man, getting past a security gate with gibberish, the "Daddy would you like some sausage?" bit, these, taken out of context, are hilarious and ingenious. He refuses to follow anyone's rules but his own, and this film is a testament to that.
Bottom line, if you like Tom Green see it. Everyone else, steer WAAAAAYYYYYYYY clear of this one. Only a handful in a million will like this movie, and I am one of them. This is not the usual everyday sanitized-for-your-protection kind of Hollywood garbage. This is low-brow high art.

Summary: What a disguting movie!
Review: I will start by saying this movie is very disgusting. The majority of the gags in the movie rely on grossout humor. But that isn't to say it's not funny, it's just that some of the stuff was rather unsettling. The main things that bugged me were all of things that were being done to the animals.
I can tolerate grossout humor, but only to an extent. And I felt that they went a bit too over the top with it. I have watched the Tom Green show so I kind of had a rough idea what to expect from it, And if you are a fan of the Tom Green show then you probably wont have any probelm with this movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Insane and hilarious but not for everyone
Review: I had been real depressed when I bought this on a whim so I heard all the negative reviews before I watched it. I turned this movie on to end up laughing non-stop throughout the entire thing. The sheer bizarrity of the film makes it sick, demented but hilarious. The road kill scene kind of grossed me out but for the most part the movie was great. The scene with the baby and the women chanting in the hospital room is just surreal. It even has a little bit of a plot with Gord trying to prove himself to his father. Gord's girlfriend is a bizarre handicapped woman who enjoys having her legs beat in the heat of passion. Hilarious.

Definitely not for the squeamish. I can't say you have no sense of humour if you don't like this movie because many of my friends who are big comedy fans didn't like it at all. I guess you have to have a very warped sense of humour to enjoy this the way I and a select few did.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Something else...
Review: "Freddie Got Fingered" is demented even by the standards of the gross-out genre. It's not so much a movie as it is a series of outrageous skits strung together. Some are really funny: the scene with the skateboard ramp where Rip Torn begins screaming for no reason had me in stiches as did the shower scene where Torn tosses Tom Green through the shower door as well as the bizarre restaurant scene. Others don't work so well but what they all have in common is an irreverance and subversiveness not seen in too many movies today.

That's not to say that I loved the movie or would recommend it. Some of things Tom Green does are stomach turning and rightly so. The ending is downright bad and reflects a tendency for movies to have unrealistic or contrived conclusions. As well, while Rip Torn is outrageously funny in most of this, one can't help but wonder how low his career has sunk to play such a profane character.

I will say this in conclusion: Tom Green at least tries to do something different and that's more and more rarely seen in movies today.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What the Hell?
Review: What happened to the clever maniac who was raising Hell at the Bingo party and who spread dog crap on microphones?That was the Tom Green whose show I used to stay up for every Friday night but this movie is just a waste of time.The only really cool thing about it was the road kill scene.This movie sucked.I still miss his TV show though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: UNDERATED
Review: It doesn't surprise me that narrow-minded pretentious critics snubbed this film, but I don't understand why so many Tom Green fans hated it. Much like his T.V show, the film is primarily gag driven. The films story and plot are deliberately typical. By employing such a run of the mill story he is sending up the very notion of traditional Hollywood narrative. Unlike the Farrelly brothers who compromise their humour in order to convey a politicly correct message, Tom Green pulls no punches. When he wants to offend he does it the right way. This film is stupid, disgusting, disgraceful, demented, and absolutely brilliant. It is low concept humor at its best. This guy isn't as dumb as he looks!
