Movie Title: Freddy Got Fingered
Rating: 1
Reviewed By: Michael Stevens
Review:
Some consider Tom Green a comedic genius,
at least you would think somebody does since someone gave him the
money to make the movie Freddy Got Fingered. Drew Barrymore must
think so since she married him, but personally I don't think he
is funny, just stupid. Furthermore, since Freddy Got Fingered is
basically an hour and forty-five minutes of Tom Green style
comedy, the movie is pretty stupid. Tom plays Gord, a 28 year-old
loser still living at home (sounds like my own brother) and
looking for his first job. Gord heads to LA from his home in
Portland, Oregon where he is to work in a cheese sandwich factory
while trying to sell his cartoons. Of course no one wants to buy
the cartoons because they are stupid and not funny. Gord returns
home where he battles with his dad Jim (Rip Torn). As it turns
out, Gord is really just trying to get the approval of his dad.
He is also trying to have a relationship with Betty (Marisa
Coughlan) who is a doctor and amateur rocket scientist, and all
she wants to do with Gord is suck his dick. Conflict runs
throughout as Gord and dad battle it out, while mom (Julie
Hagerty) and brother Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas) watch from the
sidelines. Eventually Gord destroys the family by making up a
story about dad molesting Freddy (hence the name of the movie).
Not only is Tom Green the star (loosely used) of the movie but he
also wrote and directed it as well. And what a crappy job he did.
The only bright spot in the movie is Rip Torn. Now I did laugh
and a few of the jokes, but most of the jokes got real old, real
quick. The rest of the cast includes Connor Widdows, Mike
Bullard, Jackson Davies, Anthony Michael Hall, Scott Heindl, Drew
Barrymore, and some other no-names too. Not only is the movie
stupid and boring, but also way too long. So in an effort to
counteract the length of the film, I will now finish the review
with a rating of one couch for Rip Torn on a scale of ten for the
About-Movies.com review.
