Tom Green in Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

It's Just Not Funny

When I went to go see this movie, I thought that I was going to watch a 100 minute Tom Green episode. That is just what happened. 30 minutes is enough on TV but when you have to sit down for a long time, the jokes start to run out. I'm still a Tom Green fan. Every comedian can make one mistake.

Dear God, whats wrong with this country

There are times in life when you say to yourself, Im Sorry. When I think of all the things I could have been doing instead of seeing this movie, it boggles my mind. Not only is this the worst movie I have ever seen, it makes other pieces of s**t like Dude Wheres My Car look like Gladiator. Don't get me wrong, I think Tom Green can be funny, but you can only be so stupid. The worst thing that happened was this movie got an R rating, that allowed Tom Green to utilize the grossest and unfunny stuff his mind could muster, and the whole baby scene, i wanted to go see any other movie immediately. I am ashamed of Tom Green, ashamed in myself, and came very close to demanding my money back. This is hands down the worst movie ever made. If you go see this, you are making the biggest mistake of your life. DO NOT SEE IT! IF YOU SEE IT, YOU WILL HATE YOURSELF! The only joy I got out of it was knowing that I was able to see the worst movie ever made. If anyone knows a movie that is worse let me know, because I would like to hear it.

PS: Note to Tom Green, Animal dick is never funny. Ever. Just a tip if you remain in Hollywood after this piece of garbage

"zzzzzz.... is it over yet?" - typical "Freddy" screening

At about 10 minutes into this film, I realized that I had seen all that I needed to see to get a clear picture of its worth. After those 10 minutes, everything that followed failed to involve me in any way. I didn't laugh. I wasn't shocked. I wasn't angered by the audacious depravity of Tom Green's antics.

Why?

Because Tom Green is only funny (or shocking, or anger inducing) when his material is freewheeling, unscripted mayhem upon unsuspecting good ol' folk. For these elements, I enjoy his TV show immensly, both vicariously and intellectually.

This movie has none of those elements. It's a vacuum. It plays out like one of those hyperactive, annoying 2nd graders who will try anything to get your attention. For 90 minutes, it's like the screen is screaming "Hey look at me! I'm being naughty!!" Big deal.

This movie must have looked great on paper. It might have even worked had it been broken up into segments for his television program. But now I know its all scripted. And now I wonder if it all had been scripted before. If it wasn't, the joke is (still) on the unsuspecting masses. If it was, however, then the joke is on Tom Green.

This is so bad, you wont know how bad

Wow, this is so bad. Although I had a few laughs at The Tom Greene Show at MTV, this I can't sit trough. He cuts open a deer, licks at the bone of a broken leg and eats 10 sandwiches at one time while he watches how two horses having sex. And that's just the first 20 minutes. One out of ten for this crap!

Tom Greens Highly Anticipated First Starring Role Delivers Crap

This movie came out at about the height of tom greens popularity. I used to watch his show religiously and always thought that tom had a unique take on comedy. I rented this shortly after it came out on video expecting big things from green. Instead he used in plot so oversimplified and cliche that a small child would find it immature. And instead of trying to bring something new to the screen comically green attempts to recycle successful and controversial parts of his show. If you spend even a penny to see this movie you're being ripped off.

Much worse than getting fingered.

I've seen Road Trip, and this is supposed to be similar to American Pie and Scary Movie. The only similarities I saw were some recognizable actors doing cameos and some interaction with animals. The rest of the movie was Tom Green screaming and acting like a three-year-old having a tantrum. I don't think the other actors had to rehearse to give him the strange looks. I felt bad for everyone else in the movie, and the best part was when my wife told me that Drew had divorced him. After seeing this movie, I don't think she was acting when she was yelling at him in the animation studio. I post this as a warning: Don't waste your time, unless you are really searching for a movie that tries to be funny and isn't, that tries to have bad taste but comes across as mediocre.

Why?

I have many chances to catch this 'film' on cable. I have had many times where I tried to sit through the entire film. In all of my attempts to watch this, I have to say this: this is positively the worst film that I have ever laid my eyes on. Considering that I've seen PLAN NINE FROM OUTER SPACE, GLEN OR GLENDA, and Bob Guccione's CALIGULA--that's saying a lot.

There are many vignettes in FREDDIE GOT FINGERED that I'm still trying to flush out of my head. The most odious is when Gordo births a baby, bites through the umbilical cord and whirls it around the hospital woman.

From all of the things that went on during the production and during the time when some studio exec green-lighted the movie, I wonder about one thing: did anybody think that this was funny?

You know---I'm not being entirely truthful. There was one moment that amused me. It was when the studio exec played by Anthony Michael Hall commented to Goldo about his drawings: "You see what I mean...Doesn't make any sense....pretty f**king stupid..."

Why?

Because it summed up the entire film....

A disgrace to film!!!

This is by far one of the WORST films I have EVER seen...and I've watched a few Steven Segal films in my time!! I love films like Road Trip, American Pie etc...but I found the only funny (ish) part of the film was the outtakes at the end. I feel robbed of 90 minutes of my life. Thanks for nothing Tom!!!

As entertaining as standing in a long line at the DMV

Gross out humor does not offend me so much as the assumption on the part of the producers that the audience are a group of ADDHD juvenile idiots.

Cheech and Chong did stupid gross out humor years ago and we all thought it was silly but nver really hated them for it. Tom Green, on the other hand, lambasts us with 90 minutes of nails scraping a blackboard. Not that I lasted 90 minutes ...

I think it would serve the Western Hemishphere (both by raising the average expectation of movie goers and by raising the average IQ) to drop Tom Green in shark infested waters. It'd be the ultimate gross out joke and sooner or later some poor fool is going to go for the gold medal of low brow humor.

It seems that this 'movie' has served to kill Mr. Greens career -- Fine by me. I am sincerely perplexed by the fact that actual actors read this script and said "Ok -- that looks funny, I'll do it." What are they smoking in Hollywood these days?

You would be better off spend an hour and a half in a coma!

Me and my son make it a point to see bad movies. This makes "Battlefield Earth" look like "Gone with the Wind". Tom Green is abrasive and totally unlikeable as is every character in this movie.

I should have known when the lady at the ticket window tried to talk me out of seeing it (a first).

I hope this is Tom Greens last movie for all of our sakes.

fortunately I went to a matinée (got a discount....)

This film has little to comment on and is not worth the effort. I could have tolerated the sick, gross out, Tom Green humor (maybe) if Green had any story to tell. But he doesn't have one. He occasionally tries to pretend that there's a story being told here. But the pretense usually runs smack into one of Green's sick tableaux and gets its brains splattered all over. It came to me while I was watching this stupid travesty. Some might think the audience is the victim of Green's psychotic jokes.

But I thinks it's worse than that....Green uses his audience just like one of his props, and his entire career is a sick joke aimed at someone or something else. If Green showed the slightest genuine empathy for the human condition, his humor might be excusable. But Green is obviously either too stupid to know why his stuff is offensive, or he is too basically sadistic and exploitative to give a damn.

Why isn't this on bottom 100?

First off, this guy is a FREAK. Hes not different, hes not unique hes a freak. This movie made me want to puke several times and I can actually say that Im a worse person because of it. Don't watch it!

Now if your a true bad movie lovers you wont give a rats *bleep* whether I tell you to see it or not, perhaps you even want to see it more after my comment. So heres the very tiny storyline: Basically hes some sort of a unemployed cartoon animator trying to get a job. Hes parents thinks hes a looser (who can blaim them?). He also have a brother who is doing fairly well but never gets attention from the parents (Everybody loves Raymond ripoff?) so hes like there sometimes looking sad or whatever. Then he goes to a office trying to get a job and on the way he sees a stud farm and jacks off the horse while moaning. Really thats torture. I was crying during this. Anyways he gets there and then he talks to Drew Barrymore (!!!!!) and then goes to see the boss of the company. He gets declined and after this its a tale about him trying to make it to prove himself to the parents and find love.

And during that tale he whips a wheelchair bound lady, delivers a baby against the mothers will, jacks off several big animals, breaks other people legs and so on.

This is a horrible movie, and please, PLEASE don't see it! Im telling you don't you will regret it!

Oh god it's awful

Every minute I spent watching it, I rued the fact that I spent €1 buying this DVD. Would NOT even wish it on someone I had a grudge against. It is just that awful.

Jeez to think that 1€ I could have spent on something way more productive like a new drain-sieve...

Just where to begin... misled by the clown's comment on the first page of this IMDb review, as well as a wacky description for the movie, and the fact that it was available for 1€ at a garage sale (the only movie in that collection, which tells ya, how others view this horrible flick), I made the error of judgment and actually bought this DVD.

What followed were 1,5 hours of the worst kind of rubbish one can pass off as a film. Even Tom Green, I thought, had standards... well this movie put an end to those notions too.

Ack, a day to lament, and this DVD, best used as a coaster.

awful!

I'll be brief, what was Rip Torn thinking about when he signed up for this - absolute rubbish from start to finish. It's obvious that Tom Green hasn't an ounce of comedy in his body, cringeworthy garbage - That's all I have to say.

Worst Movie I've Ever Seen

Oh my God, was this movie bad. Is it supposed to be a comedy? Nobody laughed in the theater I was in. The National Post gave this minus one star, and that's bang on. Tom Green, you are disgusting.

The worst movie of all time

This is hands down the worst movie of all time. Tom Green is a complete idiot. Not one thing he says or does in this movie is at all funny. It's just nonsensical shock humor with no thought involved. It's not that the movie is offensive, it's just that it's DUMB. Real dumb. There is almost no plot whatsoever as it is abandoned 5 minutes into the movie in order for Tom Green to run around screaming and humping random things. Basically, this movie couldn't possibly be any worse.

When is this stupid movie going to end?

I think FREDDY GOT FINGERED is a stupid movie. It is so far this year, the worst movie. I think it will not even bother to get any Oscar or Golden Globe, instead it is my least favorite movie.

Tom Green is a stupid comedian and my parents will not let me mention him. Ever.

It is not the Mona Lisa of all movies. This is easily the worst comedy ever.

GRADE: F

This time you can't change the channel...but you wish you could

Complete and utter tripe. I like stupid physical humour as much as the next guy, but this was just pure crap. Rehashes of old Tom Green skits, no where plot, terrible direction. I'm surprised my eyes didn't bleed, at least I didn't have to pay to see it (Hurrah for VCD)... And the compulsory "An hour or so of my life which I can never get back".

Every comedy film maker needs to watch this

Stephen King said if you want to write you need to read everything, good books bad books get a better idea what works and what doesn't. Nothing in this film works, absolutely nothing. Not even if you assume it's ironic. Watch it and save on film school 😉

What am I doing with my life?

I honestly don't know what to say about this movie... I just don't, I thought the Cat In The Hat was bad but this? This is a level of awful I never thought existed until now.

It follows the story of Tom Green as he goes to Hollywood to become an artist to make his daddy proud... then what follows is terrible acting, awful jokes, cringe endusing slapstick, none seceical story and... Farming...

Watch at your own risk
