Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
This movie is just garbage. Just stupid, brainless garbage that's not even funny. They are trying so desperately to be funny with Tom Green playing with a horse's penis etc but it's just so desperate it's sad instead of funny. He's also the worst actor I've ever seen. Next time you write a movie try adding some jokes into it... then again you'll never get to make another movie after this most epic bomb of all time so never mind.
You are either gonna cringe and hate this movie, or you're gonna laugh your head off at the insanity and absurdity. I find myself in the latter crowd. It's so insane it's hilarious, and very specific sense of humor. It's American Pie on steroids.This stuff Tom Green came up with takes a unique brain. If you liked his show and his sense of humor you'll likely like this.Weird how so many people love Jim Carrey's earlier stuff like In Living Color and Ace Ventura, where the outrageousness is similar, but Tom Green takes it up a few notches.
I had to throw the DVD case of these movie against a dumpster just to feel normal again. There's no consistency with the character, other than them being consistently annoying. I felt like Tom Green actively hated the idea of people enjoying movies, and that's why he made this.
A lot of critics and viewers can't get past the hand full of scenes that involve shock for the pure sense of shock. When you take away what amounts to a few minutes of pointless bad taste, Freddy Got Fingered is a remarkably funny film. The films finer moments far outweigh the scenes that people most often (mistakenly) judge it by. The interactions between Tom Green and his father (Rip Torn) are what make this film a comedic masterpiece. The scenes between father and son are so great that they make up for the films flimsier moments ten times over. I was never a big fan of Tom Green - I don't dislike him or his past works, but this film would not work without Tom Green. Again, what makes this film a cult classic is the interaction between Tom Green and Rip Torn (I can't say that enough). Freddy Got Fingered has mores genuine gut busting laugh content than a vast majority of comedies that have been released since. To enjoy FGF you really have to define what you want out of a comedy - if it is to laugh and be truly entertained for 90 minutes, give FGF a shot. Think of the movie as a collection of short scenes and discount the overall narrative because it is not about the story. How many times has someone played a funny clip on YouTube while you're hanging out wasting time? - A clip that is short and just flat out hilarious - Freddy Got Fingered is at least 50-60 minutes of pure enjoyment especially when played out of the context of the movie as a whole. Throw in the production value and you have something you probably will not see released by a major studio ever again. I am extremely selective in what I view and would rather watch Goodfellas for the 100th time than waste an hour and a half viewing Wild Hogs for the first time. While I am usually spot on in assessing a film's critical reception, the consensus that Freddy Got Fingered has garnered is truly without warrant. Freddy Got Fingered is an outlier that deserves a second look. It's not just good - it's an absolutely exceptional collection of enjoyable moments that has been overshadowed by the few that have caused audiences to prejudge a comedic masterpiece.
