Storyline

Gordon, 28, an aspiring animator, leaves his home in Oregon to sell his ideas to Hollywood. After being told, correctly, that they are quite possibly the most stupid ideas ever and that he needs to spend time rethinking them, he moves back home. But his father, never a kind man, escalates his mean treatment of his rather unconventional son. Meanwhile, Gord has fallen for Betty, an attractive doctor at the hospital where his friend is staying; she happens to use a wheelchair, and to delight in having her paralyzed legs beaten with a bamboo cane; her sexual aggression intimidates him. Gord's family goes to a psychiatrist, and he lies to her that his father molests Gord's brother, Freddy; Gord neglects to mention that Freddy is 25. Soon, Gordon has the house to himself, and comes up with a winning animated series, "Zebras in America" based on his own family. All this is really a framework on which Tom Green hangs his usual crazy stunts.

User Reviews

We all got middle fingered by watching this one

First things first, I have no problem with dumb comedies(Dumb and Dumber is my favorite) but I do have a problem with dumb so-called comedies like Freddy Got Fingered which try too hard to be funny and fail miserably. I'm amazed how Tom Green still has fans after watching this butt leakage on celluloid.

Plot: Say what? There is none. Tom Green plays an idiotic cartoonist who drives his father crazy and does a bunch of stupid things throughout the duration of this film.

Opinion: This is the worst dumb comedy next Bio-Dome, Baby Geniuses, Duece Bigalow European Jiggalo and Supebabies. Tom Green not only scrapes the bottom of the barrel to get laughs, he breaks through the bottom of the barrel to scrape the ground the barrel is on to get laughs and he still fails! You'll enjoy this movie and find it funny if you like seeing: 1. Elephant semen being sprayed on Tom Green and Rip Torn 2.Rip Torn shaking his naked butt in front of his son while Eric B and Rakim's Microphone Fiend plays in the background. 3.Tom Green licking his friend's bleeding, protruding wound. 4 Tom Green swinging a baby around by its umbilical cord while blood splatters on Indian women beating tambourines. 5. Tom Green yanking off a horse. 6. An attractive women offering to give Tom Green skull every time you see her. 7. Tom Green wearing the innards of a dead animal on his head while getting hit by an oncoming semi truck. 8. Tom Green dancing around like an idiot in a cheese factory. 9. You get the drift. This "movie" is 100% laugh-free and is proof that you can make the most terrible film and IMDb reviewers will call you a genius. If you rated this movie higher than 1 star then you have no reason to pine about the awful comedies that have been released recently because you are partly responsible for their existence. Like I said, I have no problems with dumb comedies but when a comedy is stupid for the sake of being stupid I have to trounce the film. What more can I say? Do not waste time and money on this kangaroo dung on celluloid. You'll only encourage Tom Green to make more filth like this. This movie is too stupid for its own good and every lame joke and weak gag falls to the ground harder than Suge Knight(what, too soon?). Two thumbs WAY down.
