Rating: Summary: Nietzsche for mallrats. Review: Tom Green is a grotesque Punch figure put on earth to punish us for our sins. Either that, or like the equally reviled Bret Easton Ellis, he's a moralist pretending to be an anarchist. I'm sure many will and have argued that this movie is a metacommentary about the debased state of culture today, rather than a reflection of it, and they're probably right. There is a primal scream quality to Freddy Got Fingered, and the sulfurous stink it leaves in your nostrils in undeniable. While scaring us, you get the feeling Green is purging himself after his recent cancer scare. This definitely feels like the work of someone whose body has turned on him. It's like an entire movie based on that scene in the first Alien where the monster pops out of John Hurt's stomach.
At the same time, there are moments when you think to yourself "This is the healthiest movie ever made." In the end, it's really just the most perverse version yet of the Peter Pan story. The values Green proposes here, far from being sick or diseased, are just the opposite -- anti-corporate and freedom loving. He's trying to wrench you back into a state of innocence, where deer guts, exposed sinew and bloody uteri aren't fearful images of death but merely playthings for the Eternal Pre-Adolescent. I also enjoyed how, along the way, Green poked subversive fun at Hollywood conventions, including a climactic romantic exchange between hero and heroine where she pledges eternal troth to him in a way Sandra Bullock probably wouldn't dare.
Is it "funny"? The question is irrelevant. But if you must know, no. It will be thought-provoking for some, and it's actually better and less despairing than most of what passes for avant-garde theater these days, but it's not much fun to watch. Still, humanity will always owe Green thanks for driving the final nail into the coffin of the 90's gross-out comedy.
Rating: Summary: HA! HA!...I guess. Review: Conterverisal or stupid? Maybe both. I think by now everbody knows what to expect before they see this movie. Tom Green whacking off a horse, swinging a baby by its umbilical cord, slicing open a dead deer and so on. If you think these things can be made funny, then you will enjoy this. If not then back away for the DVD. Personally, I was caught between being slightly offended to laughing out loud. In the end this is a very funny movie when its not being retarded or shocking. I do think Tom Green can do better and I will be in the ticket line when he does. LOOK AT ME!! I'M A FARMER!!!!!!
Rating: Summary: If you Liked This Movie you should be Incinerated! Review: Tom Green Used to be funny..... NOW HE IS NOT!! If I could rate this movie any lower than one star I would. I would also like to get the 2 hours of my life back I wasted watching this horrible movie. This movie is just not funny, it's not that you need a twisted sense of humor to like it, I loved his TV show on MTV but this movie was horribly bad. I sincerely wanted to like this movie, but found myself angry at it. I want to warn anyone who has not seen it and who is considering it, DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE! This is definitely one of the worst movies I have ever seen.
Rating: Summary: EXCELLENT! Review: I loved this movie. In case you're wondering, I am a fan of the Tom Green show. I think that he is very talented and is very misunderstood and overlooked. I first saw this movie at a sneak preview, and had an excellent time. Not only did I get to see my now favorite movie, but I also got a free freddy got fingered visor! Anyway, about the movie. Almost all of the jokes are funny, and certain parts of the movie that weren't funny were so shocking that they were entertaining at the same time. I think that now that I understand What Tom Green was thinking about certain parts of the movie from the dvd commentary, that I like the movie even more. I know that this movie got the worst reviews of any other movie, but I completely disagree. Certain reviewers hated the movie so much that they took out thier anger on Tom Green. According to Tom, Owen Glieberman of entertainment weekly called him ugly. To quote him, he said, "The only reason Tom Green has a goatee is to hide his ugly face!". I mean what kind of professional reviewer writes that? Consider the kind of people who are calling this a bad movie. They're either stupid or easily offended. I must admit that it's not for everyone, but to me it's a comedy masterpiece! Back to the movie. It was very funny and a lot more clever than it may appear to some critics. If you like good movies, and are open-minded, then you should definetly like this movie. I loved this movie. It's definetly worth seeing though. In closing I will qoute the genius: "Japan four!"!
Rating: Summary: Oh god another movie I would never see again. Review: This had to be one of the worst movies I have seen. I walked away feeling like my brain hurt because the movie was soo gross. I know that a lot of people will say you have to be a Tom Green fan to get it. Well I am a sorta Tom Green fan but this went over the limit with some of the gross stuff in the movie.
The only good thing in this movie were some of the actors that were in.

Rating: Summary: Believe the reviews or your puke bucket? Review: I read all about the movie before I saw it, I was hesitant but excited. You can read all the bad press you want but until you see with your own eyes you cannot make judgement! I loved it! It was typical Tom Green, with no shred of morals, decency, or good taste. It was very funny! See it, what's the worst that could happen? You get introduced to your puke bucket!
Rating: Summary: utter insanity Review: The best damn movie ever made since half baked and pulp fiction....i give it 5 stars and 1 thumb up because i only have one hand.
Rating: Summary: Freddy Got Fingered Review: By far the worst movie I have ever seen, and I am a high school student, the target audience! I came out of the theater dumber then when I went in.
Rating: Summary: 40 MILLION DEUTSCHEMARKS!!!! Review: Well...who likes Tom Green now? I sure do even more! This movie came out at a perfect time for me. I was at my peak of Tom Green-edness. I became so obsessed, I jokingly told my girlfriend I would leave her if I had a chance to be his friend. She didnt take that too well. But about this movie. Tom is one sick man. And like the other critics say, if you dont like Tom, dont even bother. I went with a group of people who arent really into him, but I knew what to expect...at least...I thought I did. He surprises even the most avid fans, and crosses boundaries of sick humor that no one ever has. Keep your eyes open on the dinner scene (one of my favs). The handicapped girlfriend who likes to get cained... ok ok i gotta stop. Its about time it came out on DVD though.
