Movie Reviews of Freddy Got Fingered
Movie Review: A future cult classic!
Summary: 5 Stars
Major props to Tom Green! I'm glad to see he took a different route in his directional debut. He wanted to be the guy that turned heads with sick scenes, and a ridiculous plot.
Now that I've gotten THAT out of the way, I'll review the film itself.
Most movies considered "cult films" failed to achieve mainstream success upon original theatrical release, often grossing more money in video rentals and sales than in theater tickets. In most cases (but by no means all), the film hardly makes an impression with the general public and critics are often apathetic as well. However, a small, devoted group of viewers, often "film buffs" or film students, show an extreme appreciation of the film.
Tom Green has really outdone himself with this masterpiece of cinematic art,never in all the history of movie making has any actor/writer even come close with creating a movie so disturbingly crude and yet equally amusing at the same time. The Farrely brothers must be biting their lips in envy at Tom Green, for even they could not have created a movie as over the top as Freddy Got Fingered, and believe me labeling this movie "over the top" is an understatement of the highest degree. Anyway, to make a long story short...GO SEE THIS MOVIE AT ALL COSTS! At least Tom tried, that's all that can be said.
I give the movie a very enthusiastic 10 out of 10.
Movie Review: JAPAN FOUR
Summary: 5 Stars
Freddy Got Fingered is excellent!! I have been realizing that a lot of people are annoyed by this movie, as they call it names like "pointless toilet humor" (which this movie is full of, but that's not the point). The point is that this movie (like it or not) has a moral that casts a shadow over the "toilet humor" that fills the entire film. This movie is meant to be entertaining. And entertaining it was. It's honest, but wasn't designed to win an Academy Award (although I'm sure Tom Green would enjoy that). It is a comedy. It makes people laugh. This movie isn't for everyone, but for a certain audience that enjoys it. Also, most of those reviews, criticizing the movie and Tom Green are really messed up. Nobody twisted your arm to watch the movie (but if someone did, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it). I'm sure that most of you couldn't come up for better jokes to be in a movie. i know that I couldn't. I am one of the people that enjoys and appreciates the humor that Tom Green comes up with, as he never ceases to amaze the world, (or at least people like me). Also, I can't wait for THE NEW TOM GREEN SHOW. It's gonna rock. I hope it doesn't get cancelled, though, due to the ignorance of the same audience that criticized FREDDY GOT FINGERED, a piece of freakin' art. If you can't see that, then don't watch the movie. Thanks.
Movie Review: Bad Press?
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're not already a fan of Tom Green, this movie won't persuade you to become one. That said, you have to really be a Tom Green fan to understand the twisted humor in "Freddy Got Fingered". I've been following Tom since his move to MTV in January 1999 and this movie is by far the best thing Tom has pulled off since the "Tom Green Cancer Special".Too many people now in days want "sophisticated" comedy. Well, you won't find it here. The range of jokes span from swinging a newborn baby over his head by the umbilical chord to spraying his dad with elephant semen. It's typical Tom Green fashion that you'll only get if you've come to expect this from the Canadian comic. And that might be the joke. For Tom to make a completely ridiculous movie just to attack all the people who DON'T get the joke. And, judging by the press reviews, it worked.
This movie is hilarious though! You might have to see it a few times for it to really grow on you, but it's just as funny as any other movie brought about in the last few years that caused bad press and/or controversy (i.e. Dogma, Scary Movie).
It's been five months since I seen this movie and I already want the DVD!!!
So, pick it up. This is a good thing to hold fans over until he returns to MTV next year.
Movie Review: All Part Of Tom's Plan......
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me explain why this movie IS brilliant. I didn't find it very funny...nor did I like the plot. In all honesty, as a Hollywood production, it is BAD.What I did like...was Tom's courage to make the movie. If you've followed Tom's career, you know that he's been doing outrageously shocking things from day one...even before MTV brought him over to the U.S.A. He was once kicked off a Canadian Late Night Show for shaving a dead racoon. You have to understand that Tom started as a CULT , he didn't just tap-dance into the mainstream like the latest teen-idol. His insane humor never was meant for the mainstream. America wanted Tom, and they got him!
Most people, when given their first opportunity to make a Hollywood movie, write something to PLEASE the audience, even if it means CHANGING who they are to do it. Tom didn't change himself for NOBODY! He knew that his pop-cultured-fad fans were expecting something along the lines of "Road Trip" or "American Pie" so he went OVER THE LINE, BABY!....HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HOLLYWOOD!.....HE DID SOMETHING FOR HIS TRUE FANS!
Tom knew that this movie would flop, he didn't even try to make it good. The real joke is on Hollywood and the stupid main-streamers who have no idea how much integrity Tom Green has.
Movie Review: U cannot deny it
Summary: 5 Stars
All of you who hate this flick...what did you expect ? A Tom Green movie in which he would act like John Malkovich ? Or another American High-School comedy ? No, this is pure over-the-edge stuff and that's what to expect from a movie written and directed by Tom Green. Ever seen his shows ? This movie is also a hilarious comedy of a guy who's 28-years old and doesn't think about family and stuff like that (that happens when you're a comic artist like Green in his film and sometimes people like that became real stars on the scene in real life too). But his stories suck but the drawings are pretty good (which artist never heard know this line ?). And then he discovers his father as the real story... plus the Green-typical style of physical and out-of-brain action that his viewers love.
It's just a comedy over the edge and the negative critics just give him what he wants...so he has it all the way !!!
DVD features: The MTV making of special where you see his improvised actions during the making ("Corn On The Cob!" ; watch it !), a language track recorded from the World Premiere during the whole movie (also very interesting idea); and a lots of good commentaries...for a fan again !
