 Freddy Got Fingered (2001) - A Review by David Nusair
While not a terrible movie per se, Freddy Got Fingered is certainly on the downslope of mediocrity.
Torn, for example, tries his hardest with the material he's got, but really, even an Oscar-winning actor (which Torn is) cannot rise above a script that asks him to deliver a tearful speech about father/son relations while covered in the discharge of an excited elephant.
Freddy Got Fingered likely marks the end of Green's directorial career and for good reason (though it's doubtful that even the most experienced director would have been able to find coherency in the lackluster script).

 FREDDY GOT FINGERED - DVD
Along the way Gord manages to manually pleasure two large land mammals (one of which is not wife Drew Barrymore, although she cameos), dances around wearing a deer carcass, licks a compound fracture suffered by his best friend, and beats his paraplegic girlfriend's (Marisa Coughlan) legs with a bamboo pole because she asks him to.
I can't say that I understand Freddy Got Fingered, and I can't say there was much of it that I would watch again even heavily sedated, but I don't feel as though I can dismiss the film offhand.
It's clear that Green was attempting to avoid recognizable moments in Freddy Got Fingered, thereby robbing the audience of relief from the strangeness and the almost physical distastefulness of the film.

 DVD Verdict Review - Freddy Got Fingered
Freddy Got Fingered is, in my opinion, technically not a "movie." Instead it is a series of gross and annoying scenes that make no sense in context to the story (if you can even call the screenplay that)—they are just there for the sake of being stupid.
In Freddy Got Fingered they are just plain dumb, the work of an adolescent mind coming up with the most outrageous things he can think of.

 Review: Freddy Got Fingered
Sitting through Freddy Got Fingered was one of the most depressing experiences in my 10 years of reviewing films.
At any rate, Freddy Got Fingered is so awful that it turns the likes of Battlefield Earth and 3000 Miles to Graceland into pretenders to the label of a bad movie.

Freddy Got Fingered was written and directed by Tom Green, and so in Hell’s video store, we can put it up on the shelf next to such stinkers such as Shatner’s Star Trek: The Final Frontier and Travolta’s Battlefield Earth.
Rip and Freddy exchange banal talk: "Going to be a busy day at the bank today, son?" "I hope so, Dad!" and so on.

 A Fistful of Reviews - Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
"Freddy Got Fingered" is easily the most pointless film I have ever laid eyes on.
Rip's other son, Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas), has carved out a nice living for himself in the banking industry and Rip doesn't understand why Gord can't make anything of himself.
They are infinitely better films and I think Rip and myself would sleep much easier at night knowing that people were getting their "Rip fix" in the form of those films rather than the hopeless enterprise that is "Freddy Got Fingered".

"Freddy" stars Green as a 28-year-old Portland, Ore., man-child named Gord who lives in his parents' basement and dreams of becoming an animator.
He also blusters his way into a sidewalk meeting with an animation honcho who likes Gord's drawings of a cat with superpowers but advises he must "get inside the animals." He doesn't mean that literally, but Gord takes it that way.
Near the end of "Freddy," there's a scene at an airport where a crowd awaits the arrival of a plane on the tarmac.

 Freddy Got Fingered (2001) - Ninth Symphony Films Review
Perhaps you have to be a fan of this type of film to enjoy it, but, being as open minded about seeing films in odd genres as I am, I can't find anything to recommend about this film.
As far as gross-out comedies go, it hasn't got the funny performances of the "American Pie" series, and its comedy can barely be considered funny.
In fact, I'm just going to come out and say it: this film is laughable only if one thinks about the studio who released this film, the man who wrote and directed it, and the people who actually consider this piece of celluloid a film.

 OTTO MADDOX Reviews FREDDY GOT FINGERED On DVD!! -- Ain't It Cool News: The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news.
Earlier this year, we got to see Tom Green do what might have been an attempt to emulate early Waters.
FREDDY GOT FINGERED is the kind of movie that is so bizarre, so tasteless, and so schizophrenic that you can't ever say it's anything close to a good movie, but you can't easily dismiss it just as a stupid movie with gross-out humor.

 Freddy Got Fingered
It's clear that "Freddy Got Fingered" is at least partially autobiographical and Green sure has one hell of a complex about his dad (mom gets off easier when sonny boy advises her to go out and have sex with basketball players and Greeks).
Younger (by three years) brother Freddy's internment at The Institute for Sexually Abused Children does nothing but confirm one's worst fears regarding the film's title and Green's infamous 'handling' of a real horse, while not nearly as shocking as it would seem, doesn't make sense.
While "Freddy Got Fingered" has the admirable end result of depicting the harm in demeaning a child's self esteem, it's essentially a whole lot of Tom Green running around being noisy.

 SPLICEDwire | "Freddy Got Fingered" review (2001) Tom Green, Rip Torn, Marisa Coughlan
Green is that MTV personality who takes a video camera out into the world to record himself accosting embarrassed strangers and performing gross-out stunts for the amusement of easily entertained viewers.
He wrote, directed and stars in "Freddy Got Fingered," a lose collection of sub-par Green gags orbiting around a 28-year-old unemployed nitwit whose dad (Rip Torn) hates him because, well, he's a worthless human being who goes out of his way to make Dad ashamed of him.
Anthony Michael Hall seems to enjoy his role as an "let's do lunch" animation producer who belittles another cartoonist by yelling "I've got 12 Korean teenagers in a cage that can draw a dog in a cape!" Green's new wife Drew Barrymore has an entertaining cameo as Hall's receptionist.

Then again, maybe Freddy’s given them a private performance showing off some newly acquired mad presidentin’ skillz; he is an actor, you know.
