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

I have to say, the elephant/horse jokes and the umbilical cord scenes are not my favourites in the film - my female friend feels the same way, whereas most of my male friends find it hilarious. However, there is still humour aside from those more obvious images. My favourite scene is when Gord wears a suit. Backwards. Green's sausage song, the unluckiest kid in the world, Drew Barrymore's cameo and some extremely quotable lines... all these contribute to the awesome and nonsensical world that is Freddy Got Fingered.
However. It isn't the kind of film you want to watch if you have a headache, Green opting to shout rather than talk for a lot of the film. Nor is it the kind of film you'd watch in front of parents or prudes. And if you have a dislike for crude and lewd humour involving animals, sexual acts or the combination thereof, then I think you need to steer clear of this film - especially if you like your films to at least have a real plot. If Tom Green isn't your cup of tea generally, and you find South Park tasteless, you will be repulsed by this film.
If they are, however, chances are you'll love the way the film revels in trying to disturb its audience.
Where to start...
This film is funny lets have no mistakes. Its "laugh until it hurts" funny. Equally it's disgusting. Its "try not to be sick" disgusting. Thus.. not everyones cup of tea!
Our hero- Gord (Tom Green) manages, during this rollercoaster ride of ridiculousness, to wack-off a horse, and an elephant, get inside a stag and get hit by a truck, rub a granny in the face with a large sausage , give a paralised girl a caning in return for a BJ, swing a baby round by its umbilical cord then selotape the umbilical cord to his own belly for fun , get his 23 year old brother (Freddy) put in a home for abused children, tranquilize his dad and move his whole house to Pakistan. And much more besides....
Needless to say, its not something you see everyday. But you know you want to!!!!!!!!!
I am not a prude and have a pretty weird sense of humour but I personally HATED every minute of it. Read more
