Paul Tatara CNN.com Take a bow, 20th Century Fox, and don't forget to flush. Feb 3, 2018 Full Review Daily Telegraph (UK) Rated: 1/5 Dec 24, 2010 Full Review Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 19, 2002 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 Bianca Garner InSession Film Success or not, the case remains that Freddy Got Fingered is a unique piece of cinematic history that has to be seen in order to be believed.

Brandon S As a straight comedy, this rarely works. But as a meta-commentary of how a studio green lights a film with little to no oversight, it works. Green is clearly taking screenwriting tropes and subverting them. Does that make it a more pleasurable watch? Not really, but it's doing more than you'd think. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Audience Member THIS MOVIE WAS HORRIBLE! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Dave G You will probably hate it. I loved it because I grew up watching Tom Green and accustomed to the style. If you're offended by very gross out comedy and jokes "so dumb they're funny" it's definitely not for you. It's 5 stars for me, probably 0.5 stars for you. So 3 stars is the compromise. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Joshua K After seeing this movie in 2003 and again in 2025,it still holds up. The comedy has stood the test of time unlike the comedy movies of its time. 250 thousand dollars on Jewels. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Jon L I’m in serious need of stitches every time I see this. It’s hilarious!!!!!!! The scenes where Gord has sausages hanging from around the room and his dad freaks out on him kills me. Bravo Tom Green!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Alex P How can so many people misunderstand a movie, this film is absolutely hilarious from start to finish - full of original and belly laugh out loud content with the perfect level of absurdity and the grotesque, it’s understandable that people can get turned off by the over the top style and graphic/profane scenes but if you can see this for what it is, the film is brilliant and very funny indeed. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
