What a beautiful movie!

An absolute waste of money

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A film that is equal parts satirical, meta, stupid, fantastic, terrible, smart, funny, mind numbing and disturbing. 'Freddie Got Fingered' is a film that a lot of people hate for good reason but for me I personally can't relate. The film doesn't care if your disturbed, it just keeps assaulting you with goofy situation after situation and I can't help but laugh over the absurdity of it all. It obvious that Tom Green intentionally wanted to make a film that made fun of the conventions of gross out comedy and I think he succeeded.Tom put anything he desired on screen and it's equal parts mesmerizing and disturbing. The fact that they let him put all these uncomfortable things on screen just elevates the film to the most unique comedy I have seen in the gross out genre. There are various tropes here that I've seen in other comedy films that are made fun of. Everything is so extreme that Tom creates his own style of humor that wouldn't of been possible with more studio interference. While the film does excel at shocking there are a lot of genuinely good scenes throughout the film. While Gordy is unlikable he is very engaging for me and Tom Green really portrayed him well. The twisted take on the 'underdog' character was really refreshing to see, Rip Torn gives a memorable performance throughout, the scenes with Tom Green and Anthony Michael Hall are hilarious and show great chemistry, Gordy's relationship with Betty while extremely bizarre kind of had an earnest and sweet nature which I found heart warming. I could go on but that would be missing the point a little bit. Sure the film is doesn't meet the typical standards of a good movie but for what it's worth there is a craft for creating something so different, extreme and polarizing especially when you compare it to other comedies that were coming out around this time.Somehow understood and misunderstood 'Freddy Got Fingered' is a film that I will continue to unlock it's secrets as the years go by.

On set of the film, Tom Green thought he was doing a masterpiece, but when I finally got my hands on the film and watched it... I was scared for life. Jerking off any animal in sight, swinging babies from the umbilical cords, where does it end? Probably Tom Green just wanted to do whatever he want on film.

A lot of critics and viewers can't get past the hand full of scenes that involve shock for the pure sense of shock. When you take away what amounts to a few minutes of pointless bad taste, Freddy Got Fingered is a remarkably funny film. The films finer moments far outweigh the scenes that people most often (mistakenly) judge it by. The interactions between Tom Green and his father (Rip Torn) are what make this film a comedic masterpiece. The scenes between father and son are so great that they make up for the films flimsier moments ten times over. I was never a big fan of Tom Green - I don't dislike him or his past works, but this film would not work without Tom Green. Again, what makes this film a cult classic is the interaction between Tom Green and Rip Torn (I can't say that enough). Freddy Got Fingered has mores genuine gut busting laugh content than a vast majority of comedies that have been released since. To enjoy FGF you really have to define what you want out of a comedy - if it is to laugh and be truly entertained for 90 minutes, give FGF a shot. Think of the movie as a collection of short scenes and discount the overall narrative because it is not about the story. How many times has someone played a funny clip on YouTube while you're hanging out wasting time? - A clip that is short and just flat out hilarious - Freddy Got Fingered is at least 50-60 minutes of pure enjoyment especially when played out of the context of the movie as a whole. Throw in the production value and you have something you probably will not see released by a major studio ever again. I am extremely selective in what I view and would rather watch Goodfellas for the 100th time than waste an hour and a half viewing Wild Hogs for the first time. While I am usually spot on in assessing a film's critical reception, the consensus that Freddy Got Fingered has garnered is truly without warrant. Freddy Got Fingered is an outlier that deserves a second look. It's not just good - it's an absolutely exceptional collection of enjoyable moments that has been overshadowed by the few that have caused audiences to prejudge a comedic masterpiece.

Universally hated upon its first release, "Freddy Got fingered" has lived on to, despite its cult reputation, be hailed by many as one of, if not the, worst comedies of all time. It's a dark, sometimes genuinely disturbing movie that throws all logic or good taste out of the window with anarchic glee in such a way that few people could possibly appreciate it; however, i feel as if i am one of those people.The movie is crawling with major problems for sure but I find it to be too hilarious to dismiss as one of the worst movies ever made; as a matter of fact, I consider it to be one of the better comedies of the 21st century so far due to its surrealist nature and dark wit. When one thinks about it, "Freddy got Fingered" is a genuinely sad movie that could have easily been directed by Todd Solondz and be made into a much more dramatic, if still darkly comic, film that could have garnered at least mixed reviews; but, alas, its fate was far worse than I can even comprehend. I understand fully why this film is hated by many, but I will never understand why it is hated by SO many, and someday I hope it will be rediscovered and recognized as the bizarre work of absurdist art that it truly is. Seriously, this is a misunderstood work that mocks its own clichés and is fully aware of its grotesque, vile, and often mean spirited nature and relishes in it. In terms of dark topics go, almost nothing is sacred in "Fingered", there's mental illness, quirky sexual fetishes, animal abuse/masturbation (!) (seriously though, within the first ten minutes of this movie Tom Green jerks off a horse and I wasn't sure whether I should continue laughing or just turn the f*cking movie off), and, most prominently (!!!), child molestation (there is also a running gag in which a small boy is constantly being injured throughout the film; now that i'm recording some of these concepts and visuals down, perhaps I do understand the universal hatred for the movie). It takes a man with a sick sense of humor such as myself to appreciate the true underlying magic of "Freddy got fingered", one that makes it feel less like your typical stupid gross out comedy and more like a satirical surrealist art movie that just happens to include a scene in which Tom Green sprays a massive swarm of elephant semen at his father (played drunkenly and hysterically by Rip Torn in one of his funniest, most oddly petrifying roles).Essentially, "Freddy Got Fingered" is a live action cartoon; but this is not an ordinary cartoon! This is a cartoon that is made up of elements from psychological dramas, the weirdest material found in the works of Luis Bunuel, "South Park", Tim and Eric, crude, immature sex jokes, terrifying animal-abuse-based "humor", insanely bizarre lines of genuinely hilarious dialogue, and whatever else could possibly squeeze itself into the chaotic recipe of this giant, occasionally masterful mess. Those with the stomach to handle it and the sick, sometimes (but NOT ALWAYS) immature mind may be able to appreciate this incredibly divisive (but mostly just hated, although it definitely has its following, which I hope will continue to grow along with the internet age of dark humor) piece of creative modern art/black comedy/ironic satire/gross out flick/movie that is basically the comedic equivalent of "Antichrist", "A Serbian Film", and the works of Pier Paolo Pasolini (although I must admit that Pasolini was something of a humorist, and the main films of his that "Fingered" recall are "The Decameron" and "The Canterbury Tales" which are both laugh out loud masterpieces of comedy).
