Movie Reviews of Freddy Got Fingered
Movie Review: This is one 'free form' riot of a comedy flick!
Summary: 5 Stars
Firstly, I am a 40 year old professional in the marketing field and absolutely LOVED this movie! Why? Precisely because it is so far-fetched and wacky, that you don't expect to see some of Green's scenes unfold the way they do! And precisely because life is so short, so what's the use of taking yourself TOO seriously?! You don't have to be a slacker or generation X'er to enjoy this lobotomy of a movie! I can appreciate one of the first scenes where Green goes to extremes in order to get through to the owner/President of the Hollywood animation studio he so desperately is seeking a job or contract with (to sell his artwork to). There are many other 'unconventional' scenes as well, and part of what makes this film so entertaining is you just don't know what Tom Green will come up with next from scene to scene! So, even if you are repulsed, you WILL finish watching the movie... in essence, Green is like the Howard Stern of filmmakers in that respect. Many despise Howard, but they love to tune in because of the shock value (plus Howard is genuinely funny and brutally honest to himself as well). 'Nuff said. If you don't go out and buy the DVD, at least rent it, because it is (funny)!!!Movie Review: Really Funny!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie 2 times a few years ago and thought it was hilarious both times. The cartoon at the end is so funny, particularly the "Centaurs", God I love D & D humor and making fun of teen angst, it cracks me up.
Since its Tom Green, its obviously going to be an over-the-top gross-out in bad-taste movie, so if you don't like this type of humor, don't watch it or anything that has the word "Fingered" in the title. Its really obvious why someone wouldn't like this movie, it's in bad taste and the plot is all over the place and ridiculous, which is one of the reasons its so funny.
Please don't watch this movie expecting a typical hollywood comedy or you will hate it. THis movie is more like a series of loosely held together over the top gross-out sketches that are held together with a running sarcastic theme of teen angst and nobody understanding you.
Its really so over the top that if think a scene is funny, you will probably cry laughing. A lot of the jokes were predictable if you know Tom Green, but stuff like, "I'm the number one son" and the cartoon at the end killed me.
Movie Review: All Part Of Tom's Plan
Summary: 5 Stars
Let me explain why this movie is brilliant.
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 raccoon. You have to understand that Tom started as a CULT , he didn't just tap-dance into the mainstream like the latest teen-star. 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....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.

Summary: 5 Stars
The point of this movie seems too obvious to be so widely missed, yet the few critics who have specified what they believe the films intent to be cited it as to be gross or shocking. That was part of it, but Tom Green's obvious primary goal was to write and play a character that engages in as many various irrational, absurd acts as possible. It's not a new idea, Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean character is an obvious reference point, and like that character Gord displays an ignorance of social etiquette and ordinary everyday things, but Tom Green proves himself the master of his craft with this film, taking the cutesy obliviousness of Mr Bean to a level of sociopathic insanity that opens up a wider range of comedic possibilities. Whatever critics might say this movie lacks, none have disputed the width of the variety of ridiculous behaviour it contains. If you want to see a guy act ridiculous for an hour and a half this film won't disappoint, if you don't want to see that or intend holding the movie up to any standard of realism, it's guaranteed to disappoint and offend.Movie Review: Greenuel?
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie, in my opinion, is to the normal American Pie-ish teenage drivel that Hollywood spews out as Luis Bunuel's Un Chien Andalou and L'Age D'or were to cinema in general. The most amazing thing to me is that this film even got made, and it is worth a look just for that fact. As I watch FGF I try to imagine the pitch meeting between director and studio....Just the idea that some studio exec thought that being in the "Tom Green Business" was a good idea in order to make a mass market film is somewhat mind boggling. By all means experience this movie if you want to see something unusual...I can't tell if it's any good or not, because I think the point is that it really doesn't matter...I'm just happy someone got money to make this thing and I'm glad that it exists....I'd rather sit through 10 FGF's than any Forrest Gump, or that sort of treacle excrement any day....
Don't know if this review helps, but I'm glad to have my copy of FGF for those days when Million Dollar Baby just won't feed my Movie Jones!
