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

The worst movie ever put on film

How did this so-called script get green-lighted? What was Rip Torn doing in this schlock? Does Tom Green really think this material is funny? These are only a few of the questions that don't have a logical answer for this s**t.

Luckily I didn't have to pay money to see this. I was told by someone that this is really funny. I watched it in two parts. Why did I see the second half? Beats me. Tom Green will say or do anything for a laugh. The question is who laughs? Do people really want to see animal sex organs and excrement? This movie was just nonsense and tasteless and gross. It definitely deserved all the Razzies it won. Hopefully this will mean the end of Green's career in the entertainment industry.
