That's disgusting: Freddy Got Fingered

Freddy Got Fingered" takes the gross-out genre to entirely new and immensely perverse levels. Despite this daring-do, the flick is still a mixed bag. Yet the mediocrity only resonates so far, and what remains is a ballsy and frequently hilarious, albeit strange, comedy.\nTom Green headlines the film as Gord, a 28-year-old skate punk who resides in his folks' basement and harbors dreams of becoming a professional animator. He inevitably makes the pilgrimage to Los Angeles to pitch his ideas to animation executive David Davidson (Anthony Michael Hall). Davidson quickly dismisses Gord's ideas as moronic and half-cocked, sending Gord home with his tail tucked between his legs and back to the confines of the basement.\nThe aforementioned plot points are the more traditional and mainstream elements of the film. Once Gord arrives home, all hell breaks loose, and the film, which was already bizarre, sinks farther into absurdity. Gord and his abusive father (Rip Torn) enter into mass hysterics and small-scale warfare, complete with obscenity-laced taunts and mock sexual advances. Gord hooks up with a wheelchair-bound nurse/rocket scientist named Betty (Marisa Coughlan) with a predilection toward oral sex. And bodily fluids ranging from blood to semen splatter across the celluloid-like confetti at a birthday party.\nThis is a comedy unlike any I have ever seen. The flick is violent, chock full of graphic images from a heinous broken leg to an inundation of cruel blows sustained to a young boy's face. Also, mildly disturbing images of bestiality intermittently find their way into the film. \nThe film's supporting cast is rounded out by a relative who's who in the realms of gross-out and slapstick comedy: Julie Haggerty ("Airplane"), Harland Williams ("There's Something About Mary") and Eddie Kaye Thomas of "American Pie" fame, the latter portraying the sodomized titular character. Cameos by Green's better half Drew Barrymore and an anonymous, pelvic-thrusting NBA superstar also add to the proceedings.\nFans of Green's unique brand of comedy will enjoy the perverse laughs during "Freddy Got Fingered," but those who dislike or are only lukewarm on Green and his shenanigans should avoid the film at all costs.
