  1. 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.

    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.
  3. 50
    A frat-boy remake of "Pink Flamingos" which isn't all bad.
  4. The film is a somewhat disjointed affair that, like the man himself (Green), is occasionally brilliant, frequently repetitive and sometimes merely annoying.
  5. 50
    The earnestness of some of the drama in the only deceptively unsophisticated narrative may be more shocking than any of the gross-outs.

    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.
  7. 25
    Formidably stupid.
  8. Exhaustingly manic but curiously unfunny movie.
  9. The film is like watching Ozzy Osbourne bite the head off a rubber bat -- it's only almost heinous.

    Not since Andy Kaufman's reign of terror has a supposed funnyman been so self-indulgently persistent in testing a fan's patience.

    It's a gleefully unfettered gross-a-thon first --also second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth -- and a movie perhaps seventh.
  12. 20
    It feels manufactured to be suitable for mass consumption.
  13. 10
    It's a performance that screams "Look at me!" louder and bigger than an elephant dick. And every bit as subtle.
  14. 10
    Lurches from one set-piece stomach-lurcher to the next with nary a nod to narrative coherence.

    Do not bring children to this movie unless you want them to have nightmares for weeks.
  16. Even the movie finds itself asking when it'll end. Not soon enough.
  17. In a sense, this is a horror film, worse than anything Andy Kaufman could dream up, in which Green tries to outgross himself.
  18. 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.
  19. 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.

    Bad decision after bad decision occurs over 93 minutes.

    So awful it qualifies as cruel and unusual punishment.
  22. 0
    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.
  23. To dismiss this movie for being ''offensive'' would be to offer it high praise.

    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.

    One of the most brutally awful comedies ever to emerge from a major studio.

    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. Full Review »

    Yet another of my all time favorite movies gets ripped to shreds by paid critics. I don't get why this movie received such poor reviews. I laughed from beginning to end, then laughed some more when the credits rolled and I got to see the outtakes. The real question you will keep asking yourself is why didn't you get a LeBaron. Do yourself a favor and buy this movie! Full Review »
  3. Probably the worst movie I've ever seen. How this film got green-lighted I'll never know. Tome Green can't (and shouldn't) carry a movie lead. Neither should he write or direct a movie again. It's an abomination. Insulting the audience every chance it gets. I wasn't expecting much from the guy who made "The Bottom Song" and when I saw all the Razzies it won, I knew it was going to be bad, but I had no clue it'd be this bad. A movie where a man jerks off a horse and an elephant, wears a deer carcass, licks his friends ankle with the bone sticking out, dates a handicapped girl with a S & M fetish and bites through an umbilical cord after playing with it like a lasso with a baby still on it sounds like a nightmare. With an ending that **** all over the audience this film doesn't even try. **** this movie. Tom Green's retard man child antics aren't funny or charming. They've sadly inspired people like Andy Milonakis who think this **** is funny. It's so bad it doesn't even deserve to be a cult classic type movie that is only watched for the **** factor. If there is a hell, this movie is shown on a 24 hour loop there Full Review »
