At first, I refused to see this movie, since I've hated everything Tom Green's been involved with so far. But a few friends just wouldn't shut up about it (someone even said it was "brilliant"), so I watched it on cable one night. Rather, I tried to watch it.
I started having trouble paying attention about five minutes after it started. It wasn't interesting or in the least bit funny. It really doesn't make any sense, either, even if you overlook the fact that, in real life, anyone as stupid as Tom Green's character would've been institutionalized. I'd say his father went easy on him through most of it.
Really, after seeing Gummo, I figured I'd witnessed the absolute bottom of the cinematic barrel. While Freddy Got Fingered wasn't quite as close to the bottom as Gummo, it was close enough to keep it company.
