Review of Freddy Got Fingered (2001) by Jen L — 04 Nov 2009

Okay so imagine the derision if I were to rate Freddy Got Fingered, film #52 of 70, higher than I rated the film viewed beforehand "Vertigo". I would be disowned by anyone claiming to be a fan of cinema.

But what I don't really understand is why this film gets regarded so poorly. Maybe Tom Green had done his dash by 2001 and people had just decided enough was enough, I dont know, but what I can tell you is that I laughed out loud more than once, really hard a few times! Yes, these are things you shouldn't admit, but its happened.

..I can't take it back now can I?!? When a film deals with its main character jerking off a horse and elephant in two seperate sequences, you know you're on troubled ground...but in amongst those overt moments, there are several pockets of gold or at the very least, signs of genuine attempts at comedic innovation.

Wait a minute, Rip Torn gets elephant ejaculate all over him at the end...surely I cant be taking this review seriously?! Look, I liked it, and I was suprised that I did, but to avoid being disowned I'll say this.

.."Not as good as Vertigo".
