This film was decent for a stupid comedy. I call it a stupid comedy because I mean just that. It's dumb. There are some perks to it, such as a hell of a lot of charm from the main characters. It has some genuine Animal House comedy, that evokes those great memories, but then again, it can be viewed as a P.C.U. style cheap imitation. Another thing I never quite understand is Hollywood's (or at least in comedy) infatuation with the male genitalia. For some reason those jokes never quite do it for me. But, I guess this is from my own ignorance as the rest of the theater was in stitches. I must have missed the joke. Aside from an over-abundance of stupid gross-out gags it wasn't awful. What's funny about semen and feces? I don't get it. Now Monty Python could maybe do something okay with it, but these guys just show it to you and ask you to laugh. I wish I could. My eyes are getting tired from all the rolling.

Freddy Got Fingered
(2001)
More Fun Than Dying! (Not a guarantee)
10 May 2001
I have seen many movies. Furthermore, I have seen many bad movies. Many atrocious movies. Many horrible, horrible, horrible movies. Though, I truly believe that not one holds a candle to the waste of film that is Freddy Got Fingered.
Now, you're probably thinking: "This guy's a turd." Well, I loved Airplane!, Naked Gun, Scary Movie, South Park, etc. These films had what we call jokes. There are two things I liked about Freddy Got Fingered: Nothing. Nothing at all. I saw people around me laughing as a grown man's knee cap was cracked and created a bloody bone to splinter from the flesh. This was only topped with further laughing after Tom Green HILARIOUSLY and INGENIOUSLY licked the bone. This man is a genius. How funny do you get?
And then there are those who argue, "So what?! He's just pushing the envelope! After all, Citizen Kane was controversial in it's day." Well, this movie is not Citizen Kane. This movie is the cinematic equivalent of being impaled onto a 10 foot rusted nail, head first. Although, perhaps head first is too quick a death...
Also, I apologize for sounding like a critic, but animal ejaculation just never did it for me as comedy. Maybe I'm just a jerk. Or possibly, I'm not a %$#@ing idiot. I award this movie 0 stars.
