Gord Brody (Tom Green) is a struggling cartoonist trying to pitch an animated show to Hollywood executives. When he fails, he returns to his hometown with no choice but to live with his parents and younger brother, Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas). His father (Rip Torn) doesn't approve of Gord's career path, and pressures him to gain independence. As father and son exchange barbs, Gord comes up with a lie that changes everything: He claims his dad is molesting Freddy, leading to drastic consequences.

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.

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.

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.

A giant middle finger to Hollywood in the most Tom Green way possible.

An underrated gem about a whimsical man who goes out on his own, to find himself in a journey of self discovery. Will there be horses and sausages along the way? You bet! So buckle in and get ready to get fingered.

Unequivocally one of the most wretched, deeply unfunny things ever committed to film. A bowel movement has more value than this.

I dont get how people cant understand this kind of humour, i laughed from start to end, its silly, totally unpredictable and the fact that tom green got away with it speaks volumes, i enjoyed it a lot. People analyzing this movie as if it would be some deep thing, if you know tom green you know what kind of thing you were getting. I 100% recommend watching this movie once in a lifetime with a not serious approach and enjoy the ride! YOU GOT THE JOBBYY BUDDY!

I'd give this zero stars if I could. Tom Green tried way too hard and was just absolutely terrible. He's never been funny, and I'm still confused as to how this even got approved to be made.
