The New York Times Dana Stevens
The movie's comic heart consists of a series of indescribably loopy, elaborately conceived happenings that are at once rigorous and chaotic, idiotic and brilliant.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
The earnestness of some of the drama in the only deceptively unsophisticated narrative may be more shocking than any of the gross-outs.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Jessica Winter
A frat-boy remake of "Pink Flamingos" which isn't all bad.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Jay Carr
His (Green) new gross-out comedy is crude and stupid, but just as often rudely funny. It doesn't so much push the envelope as shred it.
New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
The film is a somewhat disjointed affair that, like the man himself (Green), is occasionally brilliant, frequently repetitive and sometimes merely annoying.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Steve Simels
To be fair, this is hardly the worst gross-out comedy ever made; it's nowhere as misogynistic as, say, "Tomcats," and in the end, it probably won't leave you in a state of utter nihilistic despair.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
Formidably stupid.
San Francisco Chronicle Wesley Morris
The film is like watching Ozzy Osbourne bite the head off a rubber bat -- it's only almost heinous.
Read Full Review >USA Today Susan Wloszczyna
Not since Andy Kaufman's reign of terror has a supposed funnyman been so self-indulgently persistent in testing a fan's patience.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
It feels manufactured to be suitable for mass consumption.
Read Full Review >Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark
It's a gleefully unfettered gross-a-thon first --also second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth -- and a movie perhaps seventh.
LA Weekly John Patterson
Lurches from one set-piece stomach-lurcher to the next with nary a nod to narrative coherence.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Stephen Hunter
The movie is simply not professional. It's not, even by the lowest standards of Republic B-westerns in the '30s or bad, cheap horror films in the '50s, releasable.
Read Full Review >Film.com Robert Horton
Do not bring children to this movie unless you want them to have nightmares for weeks.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
In a sense, this is a horror film, worse than anything Andy Kaufman could dream up, in which Green tries to outgross himself.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Gene Seymour
Even the movie finds itself asking when it'll end. Not soon enough.
Read Full Review >Salon.com Stephanie Zacharek
It's a performance that screams "Look at me!" louder and bigger than an elephant dick. And every bit as subtle.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder
Bad decision after bad decision occurs over 93 minutes.
Variety Robert Koehler
One of the most brutally awful comedies ever to emerge from a major studio.
Read Full Review >Slate David Edelstein
The most appalling comedy of the millennium after "Joe Dirt," which is so supernaturally terrible that it levitated me out of the theater after 40 minutes.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
To dismiss this movie for being ''offensive'' would be to offer it high praise.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
So awful it qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
Green, who looks like a chinless, hollow-eyed pederast at the best of times, is simply out of his league here, and the fact that the film drags interminably when it's actually a very average 90 minutes long betrays its essential emptiness.

Luc X gave it an8:
It's a must-see movie !
Mark F. gave it a10:
I love this film, I had never heard of Tom Green until I watched this movie. I saw an amazing comedy with loads of dodgy comedy (which is a good thing). Thus I like this film.
Gil gave it a9:
The whole point of this movie is to make people laugh and have a good time watching it. And I can honestly say that this is one of the most hilarious movies I have ever seen, there isnt one scene that didnt make me laugh, and for that ill give it a 9!
Nick P gave it a10:
I was not much of a Tom Green fan until I saw this movie. I found Freddy Got Fingered to be a hilarious, and interesting feature. All of the characters are well developed, and I believe the movie delivers something unique to the comedy genre. I'm a fan of Monty Python, Denis Leary, Spaced, Kids In The Hall, Sunny In Philly, and I proudly stand by Freddy Got Fingered.
Shane B gave it a0:
Comedies don't get any worse then this ugly, boring, stupid and grotesquely unfunny film. I'm not going to both describing the plot of this film, because it is THAT bad. This is disgraceful filmmaking and one of the worst films ever made.
Steven M gave it a0:
Utter rubbish. Tries too hard to be random and stupid and fails for the most part. only one or two scenes in the hour that i endured made me laugh. the rest just had me cringing at the fact i was watching the film.
Tom G. gave it a10:
it was meant to be funny not clever and it nailed it. People who believe comedy only comes from subtle wit should avoid this but people who appreciate a variety of comedy and can enjoy 'silly' and 'crude' will love it. Best watched with mates. Just don't judge it on intelligence and subtlety.
