Freddy Got Fingered, a quite astonishingly tasteless comedy from director-writer-star Tom Green, is especially for those audiences who feel that there's something stuffily restrained and fuddy-duddyish about the Farrelly Brothers and South Park and that Chris Morris treats controversial subjects with a tactfulness that borders on the overly fastidious.
A gawky, goateed 28-year-old who still lives at home, Gordo (Green) wants to be an animator but mostly goofs around in a strangely hysterical manner that goes beyond the expected Jim Carrey style cut-up to become disturbingly like complete dementia. Gordo's main clash is with his tyrannical but also semi-insane father (Rip Torn), but his life also includes a wheelchair-bound girlfriend (Marisa Coughlan) who likes having her paralysed legs caned and a smug younger brother (the Freddy of the title) who lands up in a home for sexually abused kids (they all sit around watching The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on video) when Gordo casually accuses Dad of child abuse during a family counselling session.
Typical gags include: Green dressed up in a fresh deerskin being hit by a truck; Green masturbating an elephant to spray Torn with a firehose gusher. Guest appearances: the star’s spouse Drew Barrymore (who featured Green in Charlie's Angels), baseball star Shaquille O'Neal, Anthony Michael Hall, Julie Hagerty from Airplane!. It's more horrible than funny, though there is something almost refreshing about its absolute ruthlessness, which is only abandoned in an out-of-place father-son bonding scene near the end. The film also has an interesting 1970s soundtrack, mostly of punk standards that fit the anything-to-irritate-you attitude. --Kim Newman
Product Description
Gord Brody (MTV star Tom Green) is an aspiring cartoonist who travels to Los Angeles hoping to sell his ideas for an animated TV series. The ideas don't meet with much success, and Gord returns to his parents' home in Portland, Oregon. After a family argument, Gord falsely accuses his father of child abuse and thereby causes his younger brother to be taken into care. Gord then returns to L.A. with fresh ideas, but his father follows in hot pursuit, determined to have his revenge.

I watched this film through once, and actually did laugh, I guess I was in the same state of mind I was when I watched Happiness. I watched it through again, and started to feel physically ill. I think it was when the guy was wearing the deer roadkill as a coat, I thought I would hurl. If this sort of humour is your thing, you will not find a more tasteless film. If you like films like Brain Dead then you will love this. I cannot look at the cover of FGF now without feeling overwhelming revulsion, I dont want to touch it's tainted cover in case I catch some sort of disease. I had to get rid of the copy I had and gave it away to a friend, (but I washed my hands afterwards). I guess this film is like Marmite, you either love it or hate it, no guesses what category I fit into, and thats kind of wierd because I actually like Marmite.
