Summary: Tom Green - Freddy Got Fingered
Review: This has to be (to me) the funniest movie ever, written and directed by the funniest person ever, Tom Green! When I first saw "Freddy Got Fingered", it was just the way that I wanted it to be, just like "The Tom Green Show". Although this movie's plot was lame, I really didn't care! And to all the critics out there who criticized this movie, I have something to say, "Tom Green put so much time and effort into this hillarious movie, he even did his own stunts! I have to give Tom Green all the credit in the world to write and direct his own 2 hour long movie! I'm sick of all you critics saying how gross and disgusting this movie is, that is just how Tom Green is, gross and disgusting, and also hillarious! You critics are just a bunch of lazy fat lards who would never put any time and work into anything, especially a movie!" And to Tom Green, "You have created my all time favorite comedy movie, you are a true moviemaker, even though this is your directorial debute. Congratulations, Tom!"

Summary: I didn't know a movie could be so jumbled.
Review: I went into this movie hearing that it's not really that good, but I like Tom Green, so I decided to give it a chance. Did I do the wrong thing? Yes. This movie is really bad. Even for fans of the show, it wears a little thin when you enter the hour and a half mark. There were a couple moments where I laughed at the material and other times when I just laughed at how truly bad it was. I understand what Green was trying to accomplish with the story, but I just feel he went about it the wrong way. He was trying to portray the importance of making your parents proud after they raise you, but I don't think you do that by ummm doing "things" to animals. You don't want to know what those "things" are trust me. In the future I would recommend that Tom stick to acting and let someone else write the movies.

Summary: Genius.
Review: Finally a movie that makes you REALLY ponder if Tom Green is completely insane, or just playing the part. Tom has done something that no other director in his right mind would have ever attempted in a lifetime, and that is to make a movie less by script and more by what he just frankly felt like doing at the time. I applaud Tom with a standing ovation for the balls to put his head and career on the chopping block and release this across the country for everyone to debate about. The best way to sum up this movie is kind of like the scene from A Clockwork Orange where the main character is forced to watch all kinds of random insane, grotesque, and raw movie footage... I felt just like a trapped lab rat, yet I thouroughly enjoyed every hilarious minute of it. A true master work of art that only the genius mind of Tom Green could create. You'll laugh and cringe all in the same second, then question your own sanity for such a mixed bag of emotions. I know I wasn't the only person in the theater looking around to see if it was abnormal to be laughing at certain scenes, and I wasn't. After all, who defines what is normal? Remember, Tom is a prankster who just likes to do things for personal amusement to see non-scripted REAL reactions from people around him... are you watching Tom's movie, or is Tom really laughing watching you all squirm in your seats??? Test subjects, who paid for visual experiments fully aware of possible mind altering side affects or life long mental scars. Think about that one for a minute. You'll definately find out who you are inside, and realize it's OK to turn away in disgust from such evil horrible smut, and equally just as OK to sit there smiling like a sick and twisted individual laughing at everyone else who can't stomach good clean fun. Love it or hate it, but either way Tom has accomplished EXACTLY what he intended to do from the start. I hope to god that the DVD contains all of the best footage that was forcefully removed in order for this movie to be allowed in theaters, barely scraping by with an R rating. Ahhhh CENSORSHIP. Gotta love those Bush & Ashcroft American Values at work full force. Why can't they give Americans what they really want, and put more caffeine in the US water system instead of more arsenic? * VOTE TOM GREEN FOR PRESIDENT! * LARRY FLINT FOR SURGEON GENERAL! *

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: My name is Lisa and I am 15. Now, you may think that is too young to see an R-rated movie, but movies don't affect people as much as parents like to assume. Now, my friends and I are very mature for our ages, and we went to see the movie together. There was no problem getting in- the workers in the theater didn't even ask for ID. Sure, the comedy was gross and crude- but it was meant to be. And if Green offended you, he obviously meant to. Tom Green likes to push people's buttons, and people today are much too easily offended. I for one, found the movie unendingly funny, even if some of the crudeness made me cringe a little. I laughed nonstop, and this is the only movie that has EVER made me do that. Let me tell you, he has to be doing something right. Go Tom- no matter what the critics say, you achieved what you set out to and that is something worth respecting. People have to learn that life can't be taken so seriously. Lighten up and have fun- that's what Tom did!

Summary: An extremely overlooked comic masterfeces
Review: Yes, its plot and acting was thin. but in a way, it was a revolutionary movie. because it KNEW that it's plot was thin. It KNEW that the acting was bad. It KNEW that having Tom Green swing a dead baby around the room by it's umbilical cord would make people question their own ethics for seeing it. Thats why it was so wonderful. The film make so little sense, that it bordered on genius. The whole thing was so absurd, that I turned around to see other's reactions. EVERYONE in the theatre had this "What the heck is this?!" look on their face. Im sure they all hated the movie. And that... is why I loved it. call me unintelligent, but if you look at the movie as a ethic breaker, you may agree. So many recent gross-out comedies have completely missed what they were striving to do. This, is what they were striving to do. Watch with open mind.

Summary: A Plea for Sanity
Review: A number of critics have been bashing the hell out of this movie. Perhaps some complaints are justified: the editing in this movie reaches near-incoherent status at a number of points, there is no logical plot to speak of, there are continuity errors galore and, in general, Green shows an almost total disregard of the normal idioms of filmmaking. Bizarrely enough, that's why I liked -- or maybe I should say, admired -- this movie (although I should say that I liked it with reservations). There are parts of the movie that are very funny. There are also parts that are just grotesque. I think, however, that Tom Green is a very brave man to put these images on celluloid and display them to the world.One reason that I respect this movie is Green's unerrant (if admittedly twisted) desire to stick to his guns no matter how disgusting his ideas may be. Many of the sick jokes in the film are funny, and many aren't so funny as much as simply audacious. I respect a movie that is willing to blatantly question what exactly it is that we consider funny and "correct" in a film. Oh, and did I mention that it's funny? It truly is; although I should say that if you aren't a fan of Tom Green to begin with then you certainly will NOT like this movie. I give this movie three stars if for no other reason than it's a totally one-of-a-kind movie that can honestly promise to show you things you've never seen before. And it truly is not as awful as the reviews say -- to hear many people talk about this movie, it is as inept as Battlefield Earth and Sphere. This is not at all true; Green knows exactly what he is doing. Of course, it may be the case that what Green is doing is not what you would like to see in a movie; that's fine, and I totally understand that. I've heard this movie described as gleefully anarchic; if that sounds good to you, then by all means see this movie. Frankly, I'm still trying to sort out exactly what it all means . . . .

Summary: FINGERED
Review: This movie was made to shock and digust moviegoers and judging by the reviews below it has acomplished this beyond a shadow of a doubt. I thought it was pretty funny though, and if you can look at it with an open mind and a strong stomach, you will too.

Summary: FREDDY GOT FINGERED
Review: MTV talk show host Tom Green writes, directs, and stars in his first major feature film FREDDY GOT FINGERED. In the film, Tom plays a 28 year old slacker named Gord Bordy who dreams of becoming an animator, but his father Jim thinks that Gord should get a real 9 to 5 job like his little brother Freddy. The rest of the film basically revolves around a battle of wits between Gord and his father, with some halarious results. This film is not for everyone, but I liked it since I'm a big fan of Tom Green.

Summary: Not Funny-Gross, just Gross.
Review: From the articles I read in various magazines, I went into this movie knowing that it was going to be gross. But I figured it'd be funny-gross, like Something About Mary or Austin Powers. But alas, my hopes were squelched by Freddy Got Fingered. The movie opens with Gord (Tom Green) leaving home to start a career at a cheese sandwich factory. Secretly, he wants to go to Hollywood to become a cartoon animator. When he's there, he gets turned down by the animation exec and is forced to return home. Also thrown in is an absurd sub-plot in which Gord's abusive dad is accused of "fingering Freddy," his younger brother. The ridicules plot is just an excuse for Tom Green to run around screaming for an hour and a half, and act like a retard. If we wanted that, we could've just watched three episodes of his TV show. And how funny is it to watch him swing a newborn baby around a hospital room by the umbilical cord, while the Indian women in the bed opposite chant and bang on tambourines while getting splattered with blood? That's not funny, it's borderline satanic. And how funny is it to watch him lick his friend's protruding leg bone after a fall? It's not, it's just stupid and gross, which basically sums up this whole movie.

Summary: Admittedly better than "Dude, Where's My Car?"
Review: As expected, this film should not be considered if you are hoping to watch something intelligent, captivating, or inoffensive. I'm easily grossed out by anything involving blood and found myself having to turn away several times from this film. If you're not already a fan of Tom Green, this film will not likely convince you to be, but fans of the "anything to shock" style of Mr. Green will NOT be disappointed.
