What to Know

Critics 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.

My rating system only goes down to one star instead of no stars. But I must confess that every once in a while, a movie comes along that makes me want to take the zero-star plunge -- a movie just like Freddy Got Fingered. Go to Full Review Bob Grimm Reno News and Review 09/16/2024

Yes...I liked it. I did, indeed, like it. Go to Full Review Aaron Murray Loud and Clear Reviews 08/04/2024
Freddy Got Fingered isn’t a movie for everyone, but what it represents is far more universal and human. It’s a stunning example of how filmmakers should perceive Hollywood. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

dr. R @Yes123456 Aug 12 This is the absolute greatest movie ever made. I've shown it to all my friiends. See more Erik H @RT15797233 Jun 30 Absurdist’s heaven. If you don’t cry laughing at one point or another, congrats, your inner child is dead See more Mark A @RT25688434 Jun 19 Tom Green's humor, while not for everyone obviously, resonates with many and that is precisely why and how he convinced suited movie company execs to front him the cash for this film. I always have gravitated to the preposterous, childish, irreverent, ridiculous side of humor and as a kid that would explain my affinity for Benny Hill, Monty Python The Young Ones, Fawlty Towers and the like...... This movie is for the initiated few who "get it" and "get Tom Green"...I seriously doubt any newbies to his brand of humor will be converted but to us who already have been, "this is comedy gold, Jerry...comedy gold!!!" (Banya reference) Not sure why I am not giving it 5 stars but I could and would sleep fine at night but it gets 4 solid stars from me! See more Elijah D @M0vieWatxher Jun 14 Horribly amazing. Watch it if you enjoy comedy, and if you don’t, don’t. See more Kokichi O @Kokichi May 27 This movie is the best thing known to man, anyone who says otherwise has no sense of humour and probably hates fun. Funniest thing ever please watch it (Beware there is a lot of crude jokes, some gorey scenes, watch at your own caution) See more Jess L @RT25393254 Apr 30 I love this movie. It's a classic. It's as weird as it gets and super quotable. You don't know what's gonna happen one moment to the next. I love Tom Green in everything and I think this movie is wildly under appreciated. I would love to see it get more love. See more Read all reviews
