What to Know

Critics Consensus

Paul Tatara CNN.com Take a bow, 20th Century Fox, and don't forget to flush. Feb 3, 2018 Full Review Danny Graydon BBC.com Embarrassing, offensive and resoundingly pointless. Rated: 1/5 Oct 21, 2001 Full Review Jessica Winter Village Voice The deranged momentum of guerrilla chaos that propelled the series is gone. Apr 25, 2001 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy 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. Rated: 1/4 Jul 6, 2025 Full Review Bob Grimm Reno News and Review Yes...I liked it. I did, indeed, like it. Rated: 3/5 Sep 16, 2024 Full Review Aaron Murray Loud and Clear Reviews 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. Aug 4, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
