Freddy Got Fingered
The 2001 Razzie Award nominees (which dishonor the year's worst in film) have been announced. The nominees for Worst Picture are Driven, Glitter, Pearl Harbor, 3000 Miles to Graceland, and Freddy Got Fingered. If Freddy is not proclaimed Worst Picture, I wouldnÕt be more surprised than if the Cincinnati Bengals won the Super Bowl. Not only is Freddy the worst film of 2001 (which says a LOT), it is one of the worst movies I have ever seen!
Tom Green (Road Trip) plays Gord Brody, an amateur cartoonist who still lives with his parents. Gord moves to Los Angeles to work in a cheese sandwich factory until his cartoons become successful. However, his ideas for animated series are moronic. Imagine a cartoon series about a cat superhero with X-ray vision, but the only material it can see through is wood. Gord takes his ideas to a television executive, who turns him down before offering constructive criticism.
Gord moves back home, a failure. Mr. Brody (Rip Torn) is annoyed at his eldest son for having no ambition, no direction in life, and for being a total f**k-up. In a family therapy session, Mr. And Mrs. Brody tell Gord that they want him out of their house. In retaliation, Gord falsely accuses his father of molesting Freddy, GordÕs younger brother and Mr. BrodyÕs pride and joy. The dysfunctional relationship between Gord and his father is the central theme for the remainder of this movie.
HereÕs some ÒofficialÓ evidence that this movie sucks monkey balls. In addition to Worst Picture, Freddy was nominated for seven other Razzie Awards: Worst Actor (Tom Green), Worst Director (Green again), Worst Screen Couple (Green and any animal he abuses), Worst Screenplay, Worst Supporting Actor (Rip Torn), and Worst Supporting Actress (Drew Barrymore and Julie Hagerty).
As director, co-screenwriter, and Òstar,Ó Tom Green uses this movie to be as disgusting as possible. Gord grabs a stud horseÕs penis within ten minutes of the movieÕs beginning. Later, seeing a dead deer on the road, Gord slices it open and wears the deer for a short while. In another scene, he delivers a baby in a hospital room, but then he cuts the umbilical cord with his own teeth! Gord proceeds to swing the baby around the room by its umbilical cord. Finally, Gord stimulates an elephant (which seemed to be on Viagra at the time) into drenching Mr. Brody with spunk. HowÕs your dinner tasting now?!?!
In fairness, I should say something positive about this movie. There are some gags and quotes that are genuinely funny. This movie might be good for someone with a wide-open sense of humor. Also, the running time is about 90 minutes, so youÕre not wasting too much of your life watching Freddy. Lastly, there is a cool skateboarding scene in a mall. Getting back to ripping Tom Green a new asshole: TGÕs brand of disgusting and stupid comedy is a combination of a gruesome car accident and Pauley Shore.

Drink as much as it takes to forget this piece of shit.
Tom Green giving animals hand jobs is the antithesis of romance.
