In a decade where we got “Little Man”, “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo” and even “Eight Crazy Nights”, “Freddy Got Fingered” is somehow worse than all of them. This is what happens when you let the inmates at the asylum make a movie; it’s unpleasant, sick, demented, ugly and aggressively defying any logical explanation. The blame has to rest entirely with director, writer and star Tom Green (“Road Trip”).

Gord (Green) is a wannabe animator, who goes to Hollywood to work in a cheese factory while he tries to sell his ideas. Things don’t work out and he heads back home. When his father (Rip Torn “Men In Black”) continues to press him about his career prospects, Gord spreads vicious lies that his father sexually abuses his young brother.

I’ve never seen Tom Green’s show but apparently his brand of ‘humour’ consists of him doing disgusting things like sucking on a cow’s udder. Here, we see him pleasure a male horse, stick his head in a toilet, bite through an umbilical cord and repeatedly hit a disabled woman’s legs until she orgasms. Green is clearly a disturbed individual with no real grasp on comedy and on reality. One sequence sees him loosely pay homage to Buster Keaton (“Steamboat Bill, Jr.”) so thanks to Tom Green for ruining Keaton’s work as I’ll now think of “Freddy Got Fingered” when I think of Keaton. Why did Rip Torn agree to be in this movie? He gets covered in an elephant’s intimate juices and spends much of the film being accused of being a sexual predator.

Everything from the editing to the ‘jokes’ to the story is just appalling. There is not a single moment where Green is doing anything even vaguely in the realm of entertainment. If “Citizen Kane” is considered by many to be the greatest film ever made, “Freddy Got Fingered” can be viewed as its polar opposite. I hated this movie and I don’t care if it’s self-aware or meant to be bad, it’s truly abominable and horrifying from beginning to end.
