Tom Green's shocking, funny, uncanny and grotesque flick "Freddy Got Fingered" is one of the most underrated and most hated film I know in the film universe. I'd first off say that I loved this film! Sure, there are a few discontinuity errors, the film's plot hardly hasn't anything to do with the title and the characters are dumb fun, but who cares! It's Tom Green for f8#% sake! Material like this I'd say would align perfectly with other mindless fun such as "Jackass" or even "American Pie". It's not supposed to be the most well-made, r award winning piece ever. Here's why I think this film is so great (also why I think Tom Green should have made more films like this afterwards as well as this film not getting the total credit it deserves).
The film mindlessly contradicts itself back and fourth. We have so much happening in here which consists of sexualisation on animals, pregnancies, cheese sandwiches, cartoon drawings, music fused with food and angry fathers who are accused of molesting their sons. It's never ending in this twisted fun! I had a lot of fun as I found many great moments in the story. Some include when he pretends he's an underwater diver, when he crosses his fingers, when he rides the skateboard. Even the restaurant scene is priceless! Tom Green professionally went out and did something he wanted to do. If people take this film too seriously and decide that "it's too shocking or gross for their taste", then they're not going have fun with it. Sure, we can't see everything we like. I sure didn't like every scene in the film, but for the most part it kept me intrigued.
As I mentioned at the top, I really wished Tom Green could've made more sickly (gooping) comedies like this after "Freddy Got Fingered" Overall, I enjoyed the film's acting, tenacity, majority of scenes and explicit crude humor which Green dished out left, right and centre. This film should have received more recognition for these factors. My verdict, see it - 8/10
