Review of Freddy Got Fingered (2001) by Reilly J — 18 Oct 2009

Okay this is where I get thumbed down,.

A lot of people bagged this movie out, Ebert gave it 0 stars, T-Meter says 11% Top Critics 7% RT Community 32% My Friends 18%.

I personally thought that this was absolutely hilarious! It's about a dude called Gord Brody, is he crazy? is he retarded? Who knows? All I know is he does totally random stuff for no reason and it's hilarious. His dad wants him to get a job but he just wants to be a cartoonist. That is the plot for the entire movie.

Now it's easy to say that this movie makes no sense and is really really gross, because... well... It... makes no sense and is in fact really really gross but you see I am a fan of John Waters' Pink Flamingoes and I gotta say since Pink Flamingoes nothing has managed to be this fucking gross! I mean he jerks off a horse and rips a baby out of a labouring mother and swings it around the room by the chord, how all out do you wanna go? A lot of comedies have tried to extremely gross you out, but just end up going for cheap sex thrills, even Pink Flamingoes had a touch of titilation (only slightly) about it.

This is a gross out comedy that chooses grossness over tits and arse and it sticks to it and succeeds in shocking you, exactly what it intends to do.

I think Tom Green was aiming at having all the critics hate this film, he even showed up to claim his Worst Actor Razzie. Because of all the bashing it received it got its attention and made it's mark and will forever be remembered as one of the best worst movies ever.

I must also mention that I laughed so hard during this I nearly died, most of you won't but I did. The jokes are so random, it didn't suprise me that Green was on drugs whilst writting and acting in this movie, how else would you think to for no reason go deep sea diving in the shower? Or to make a helmet of cheese? Or to leap out a window during a DOCS meeting? Oh my God this is so stupidly funny!

I give this 4 stars, please don't kill me!
