Let me explain why this movie IS brilliant. I didn't find it very funny...nor did I like the plot. In all honesty, as a Hollywood production, it is BAD.

What I did like...was Tom's courage to make the movie. If you've followed Tom's career, you know that he's been doing outrageously shocking things from day one...even before MTV brought him over to the U.S.A. He was once kicked off a Canadian Late Night Show for shaving a dead racoon. You have to understand that Tom started as a CULT , he didn't just tap-dance into the mainstream like the latest teen-idol. His insane humor never was meant for the mainstream. America wanted Tom, and they got him!

Most people, when given their first opportunity to make a Hollywood movie, write something to PLEASE the audience, even if it means CHANGING who they are to do it. Tom didn't change himself for NOBODY! He knew that his pop-cultured-fad fans were expecting something along the lines of "Road Trip" or "American Pie" so he went OVER THE LINE, BABY!....HE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT HOLLYWOOD!.....HE DID SOMETHING FOR HIS TRUE FANS!

Tom knew that this movie would flop, he didn't even try to make it good. The real joke is on Hollywood and the stupid main-streamers who have no idea how much integrity Tom Green has.

I did not find that movie funny. Even if they use Dennis Hopper to play Jim Brody; Sissy Spacek to play Mrs. Brody and Michael Oliver from his movies Problem Child 1 and 2 to play Freddy, it would also stink. Even the doctor should be played by Robert Fuller. Do not bother with this movie.

I LOVE TOM GREEN ALL HIS MOVIES ARE GOOD! BUY THIS IF YOUR A COMEDY LOVER!

A must see for any tom green fans. It's rude funny but brilliant! nothing else apart from laughs in parts of the film and a great movie. A comedian person who is in a film always makes a great film if you like them.

This movie is the Nietzsche of all films! Many generations to come who will watch this masterpiece will wonder what kind of a great civilisation we lived in, where men were free to express themselfs beyond their wildest imaginations! Like postmodernism many people don't understand this art and will view it from a laymans point of view. My girlfriends sister studies sociology and I recommended her to make a studie of this for her doctoral outset of the impact of media on society.

Freddy got Fingered is the bestest movie EVER! I watch it every day. I like Betty.

The king of obnoxious behavior, Tom Green, has made it no secret that he finds a great deal of humor in ticking off those who don't understand his brand of comedy. You don't have to be an uptight film critic to find his starring role in "Freddy Got Fingered" to be one of the most annoying experiences in movie history. I guess that this is a type of "ironic brilliance" but in all honesty, that's about the only thing you'll probably find funny with this mess of a movie. While his MTV television show had its share of funny moments back in the day, Tom Green should have left the acting (as well as directing) to people who can actually do it. Green is more or less playing the same fauxly-oblivious chucklehead that he does whenever he makes public appearances. He tortures Rip Torn (as well as his audience) for a full hour and a half with his tounge-in-cheek child's play. Did we really need to have Green strecth his already-tired schtick over a full-length feature?

I love comedy's but this one is sooooo ridiculous and stupid that it hurts to watch. There is no point to this movie at all. If the producers had picked someone other then Tom Green no one would have seen/liked this movie.

As if this movie needs ANOTHER review ... it has been YEARS since I first saw this movie; and I must say I still believe it is the funniest movie I've ever seen. Regardless of what you think of Tom Green, I highly recommend giving this movie a chance. There's actually some variety in the humor through the film; some rather disgusting scenes, but some purely silly and wholesome scenes as well; plus a pretty well strung together story makes this movie a true classic.

This movie gets too much slack. It's a very funny, irreverant movie. There are several scenes that nearly left me in tears they were so funny. Rip Torn is hilarious.
