      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.

      Damian B One of the funniest movies ever. If you get offended easily this is not for you. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review M C HILARIOUS, Cult Classic! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review helder f A real mess, with a few scenes and moments being funny and captivating, and many others off-putting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Tony R One of the craziest movies ever made. Hilarious. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Jamie B Loved this when it first came out. Watched it time and time again. Lots of memorable scenes. It also does have the backbone of a "late" coming of age story. I can relate as it took me years before I managed to get my dream job and move out from my mum's house and in with my wife. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/09/24 Full Review Ally P Probably the funniest thing I've seen in my life Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      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 Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal One gets the impression that Green consciously tried to make the worst film ever produced, and he’s doing it simply because a boardroom full of suits at 20th Century Fox gave him a dump truck of money. Rated: 1.5/4 Oct 30, 2023 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal What most people find merely loathsome attacks a way of life that's all grim resentment & games of retaliation. Exaggerated nonsense, but it wrangles dark & significant laughs from the perils of presuming the worst in people and indulging vengeance. Rated: 4/5 Apr 29, 2021 Full Review Daniel Barnes Dare Daniel Freddy Got Fingered wants to shock you out of your middlebrow complacency, but it's never disturbing, only sad. That's not to say that Green didn't make exactly the film he wanted to make. It's just that Green is a pathetically one-note provocateur. Rated: 1/5 Mar 25, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
