Freddy Got Fingered is an opus of insanity that would make Bluto from Animal House dry heave. It is a film where the boundaries are not only broken through (like before with other gross out comedies),but done with a cheese helmet and a sausage organ.
The film stars Tom Green as a guy who wants to become a cartoonist, but is constantly put down by his father, played in one of the best villain roles in a decade by Rip Torn. While Torn goes crazy here, it is Green here who takes the cake (much like he did in Road Trip),by bringing on a barrage that had me after the movie was over awe.
Not in awe though like I have after seeing GoodFellas or Apocalypse Now, but in awe of what people can do. I was amazed at the scenes (I don't even know if they'll get in here) in which he dances in moose skin, gives hand filled pleasure (so to speak) to a horse and then tops itself (in one movie which always is a amazement) by getting off a elephant and spraying Torn in the process, and also licks the wound of a broken leg. Now, if this had been done wrong, like a flop known as Tomcats, it wouldn't work well. But Green brings on a good timing for his insanity (he directed and co-wrote) and makes it watchable and actually hilarious, if only for myself and the people watching with me.
But that is not to say this film is for everyone; I'm sure there will be people like the Ebert type who will want to blow chunks at the sight of the visuals that Green gives. But if you think you can take it, or just want a disgusting laugh, this film is reccomended. One of the funniest movies of the year, and oddly enough might become a classic. A-

Plot summary
Aspiring animator Gord, 28, leaves his Oregon home to sell his ideas to Hollywood. After being told, correctly, that they're possibly the stupidest ideas ever and he needs to rethink them, he moves back home. But his unpleasant father escalates his mean treatment of his unconventional son. Meanwhile, Gord falls for Betty, an attractive doctor at the hospital where a friend is staying. She's in a wheelchair and happens to delight in having her paralyzed legs beaten with a bamboo cane; her sexual aggression intimidates him. Gord's family goes to a psychiatrist, and he lies to her that his father molests Gord's brother Freddy; Gord neglects to mention that Freddy is 25. Soon Gordon has the house to himself and comes up with a winning animated series, "Zebras in America," based on his own family. All this is really a framework on which Tom Green hangs his usual crazy stunts.

One of the most insane things I have ever seen. Period.
Funny
Delightful drama with subtle comedy makes this film very classy
One of the Funniest Movies Ever Made
Great film. Hilarious, gonzo, absurd, ecstatic. Tom Green is an Amazing comedy mind--Norm MacDonald meets Andy Kaufman--who was always misunderstood as a gross out guy. He really get's the absurdity of the modern world and is not afraid to do things that are bizarre and over the top to really jar the viewer. Comedy films have gotten so BORING, and I appreciate Tom working hard to make a true, unique, nothing-like-it masterpiece! I return to this movie every few years when I need a great comedy film. This has become a classic for me and my friends, our favorite film to watch together.
