Upon its' release, many critics gasped at the extremeness of Tom Green's gross out comedy, 'Freddy Got Fingered'. Yet, all I have to say is that those critics simply blew the situation way out of proportion. Yes, the film is crude, offensive, vulgar, and most of all - just plain awful. But then again, what the hell did they expect from Tom Green? Some executive at Fox must have heard that Tom Green was the new hot thing and decided to give him a contract to write and direct his own movie. That man is certainly fired as of now.

This film is silly and morally offensive. Yet, surely it is all in good fun. The only thing is that it isn't fun. Besides a running plot gag having the same child getting injured in an extraordinary set of circumstances every thirty minutes, this film lacks laughs and is merely aiming for shock value.

Furthermore, classic actor Rip Torn loses all credibility as he turns in the worst performance of his life as an alcoholic drunk father who apparently molests his youngest child, hence the title. And Tom green does not play the title character. Yet, the craziness does not stop there. I did not mention the plot yet.

This film works on the notion of Green's character; Gord, returning home after a failed attempt in Hollywood to search for employment as an animator for his own series of cartoons. Shortly after his dream fails, he moves back home only to engage in caning a paraplegic for her sexual pleasure, masturbating a horse, sucking on a cow' udder and opening the carcass of a deer only to prance around in it and use it as a fashion accessory. And that is only the first 20 minutes.

This film contains the most bizarre humour and even when it tries to develop a serious tone for the sake of progressing the ridiculous plot - it cannot be. It simply is a bad film that contains the silliest climax ever. The only good thing about this film is when it ends.
