Consensus: Unfavorably comparing it with such infamously bad titles as Battlefield Earth, a significant number of critics are calling Tom Green's extreme gross-out comedy the worst movie they have ever seen.

Runtime: 88 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Self-made celebrity and outlaw of gross-out comedy, Tom Green (of MTV's TOM GREEN SHOW) makes the leap to the big screen with the outrageous semi-autobiographical FREDDY GOT FINGERED. Starring as... Self-made celebrity and outlaw of gross-out comedy, Tom Green (of MTV's TOM GREEN SHOW) makes the leap to the big screen with the outrageous semi-autobiographical FREDDY GOT FINGERED. Starring as Gord Brody, a slacker fast-approaching 30, yet still living in his father's basement, Green is his usual obtusely hilarious, polymorphously perverse self. Physical comedy ascends to the realm of extreme performance art as Brody's unachievable lifelong dream to become an animator causes him to clash with his hardened father (played by the steely and equally funny Rip Torn.) A furtive love affair with a wheelchair-bound rocket scientist and the disturbing hijinks of a troublesome younger brother named Freddy form the core of the sublimely stupid plot that serves mainly as a platform from which Green launches his incredible and often irrational comedic fare. Testing the limits of comedy, Green's deceptively moronic film does, at times, achieve a level of visual and conceptual cleverness, crafting ironic and primordial images from jokes on human folly.

A new standard for jaw-dropping, eye-scorching awfulness has been established.

...the most sick and vile work of comedy ever put on the theater screen.

The deranged momentum of guerrilla chaos that propelled the series is gone.

Freddy Got Fingered is a special kind of awful: the kind that is potentially career-ending.

"This picture is so bad that you shouldn't even walk down the street where it's playing in case it starts to rain and you're tempted to go inside and seek shelter."

Green ... is perhaps the only person on earth who could make a moviegoer actually nostalgic for the subtle intellectual brilliance of Pauly Shore.

Witless, dull, and oh-so-predictably offensive.

Doesn't resonate the way a good slob-comedy should.

Dull, insipid, horrific, uninspired, painful, ill-conceived, amateurish, embarrassing, foolish, moronic. These are the only printable words I can think of.

If his intent was to provoke a response in people, then Tom Green succeeded admirably. If he was just trying to please his fans, he didn't do a bad job, either.

A thoroughly rancid lump of cinematic sludge.

Doesn't push the limits of taste so much as the limits of how bad a movie can be.

In a sense, this is a horror film, worse than anything Andy Kaufman could dream up, in which Green tries to outgross himself.

If ever a movie testified to the utter creative bankruptcy of the Hollywood film industry, it is the abomination known as Freddy Got Fingered.

Heinous, tiresome, does things with large mammals that are just plain wrong and includes some of the funniest scenes in memory.

[Green] avoids structure, rhythm, shaped finesse and just pinballs from one 'surreal' idea to the next.
