DVD Reviews of Freddy Got FingeredDVD Review: my guy loves this movie!!! Summary: 3 StarsI bought this movie for my guy as a Valentines gift. Ha had been looking for it in stores for months, but was unable to find it. When he opened the box he wanted to watch it immediately. I am not a fan of Tom Green but was pleasantly surprised by this movie. My guy loved watching it...again.
Probably best to say it is one the men will enjoy very much. The ladies... maybe not so much.
DVD Review: where is PETA? Summary: 1 StarsPeta should have this idiot arrested. He molests animals and it made me sick. and it IS NOT FUNNY. anyone who is into beastiality really really needs mental help. tom green should be in jail.
DVD Review: Not that bad... Summary: 4 StarsPeople are really too hard on this film. It takes a certain brand of sense of humor to like Tom Green, and yes, he's immature. He's a mockery of himself and society, and as dumb as it is, it's freakin genius in a way... Having said that, I recommend "Subway Monkey Tour" over this movie, but this film has some MOMENTS... I enjoy quoting this movie constantly, even though I'm a 25 year old woman. I'm not sure what that says about me, but it usually get a laugh, so who cares. :)
DVD Review: TOM GREEN IS AN IDIOT Summary: 1 StarsIn case you didn't notice, Tom Green is an idiot. Not just in the movies, but in real life too. It's a sad case really. There are many folks who play fools in the movies, like Jim Carrey, who have talent and are likeable. Then you have someone who IS a fool, has no talent and is not likeable, like Tom Green. This movie sucks on so many levels, it's hard to know where to begin. First, it's just not funny. Not at all actually. Second, Tom Green sucks. Third, did I mention Tom Green sucks? Really... if you want to feel like an idiot, run out an buy this movie. Trust me, after you've seen it (you won't make it all the way through I assure you), you'll want to track Tom Green down, beat his skinny ---, and get your money back. This guy is pathetic and I pray his 15 minutes of fame are long gone.
DVD Review: "You Can't Hurt Me! Not With My Cheese Helmet!" Summary: 1 StarsIt is for good reason that the "Chicago Sun Times" called this film "a vomitorium." "Freddy Got Fingered" is the most tasteless movie I have ever seen. I thought about giving this film two stars, as a couple of bright spots do present themselves underneath the films execrable veneer, but on balance I couldn't bring myself to do it. The film centers around Tom Green's desire to become an animator in Los Angeles, and his conflicts with his father, Rip Torn. Torn and Anthony Michael Hall provide most of the (few) laughs to be had, although there were three other brief bright points in the film. The animation called "Zebras in America" was stupid yet amusing ("Listen To My Hooves!"); I will never think of half human-half zebra mythical animals the same way again. The sausage organ scene is one of the most musically odious performances I have ever seen, yet Green's singing made it worthwhile as a touchstone for horrible film scores. Finally, the surprise trip to Pakistan for Green and Torn was a quirky and unexpected turn of events. Torn and Hall are the highlights of the film, as their straight man reaction shots are as good as acting can get in this mess. That's pretty much the good. The bad is much, much more extensive.
The film wallows in adolescent self-indulgence, and serves as nothing more than a shock vehicle for Green. While this is no surprise, the depths to which he will plunge (the "New York Times" called him an "artist" for making this film...) is an unwelcome surprise. I certainly could have done without the baby delivery scene (it's worse than you can possible imagine), I never needed to see Rip Torn's rear end in a provocative dance scene, nor did I need the extremely adolescent phallic obsessions manifested with both a horse and an elephant. Just when you think it couldn't possibly get worse Julie Hagerty (What was she thinking?), Green's mother, turns up in bed with Shaquille O'Neal. I was especially unamused with the handicapped girlfriend, Marisa Coughlan (somehow this movie failed to catapult her to stardom) and her ventures as an "amateur rocket scientist," although that was by far not the most annoying aspect of her character, which I suspect was developed strictly from Green's oversized ego. You'll understand when you see the film, believe me: the world "subtlety" does not exist in Tom Green's vocabulary.
The DVD features numerous extras, but the real question is, will you be able to stand watching them? The only one worth anything is Rip Torn's scene-specific commentary track. Tom Green's approach to commentary tracks is stylistically similar to Ray Dennis Steckler's, the exception being that Steckler provides useful information and insight along with narration. Green merely likes to hear himself talk, and provokes the audience to like him even less (if that's possible). There is a track of the audience reaction at the premiere, which is a novel innovation. It's pretty boring in practice, though, as you hear laughs here and there, and a lot of groans at mayhem involving Green with roadkill, Green treating an open leg wound, Green delivering a baby, and green massaging various large mammals in an impure manner.
I do not recommend this movie for human beings.
Description of Freddy Got FingeredWhen 28-year old wannabe animator Gord Brody (Green) leaves the safety of his parents' home to make it big in Hollywood, all hell breaks loose... in hospital rooms, with paraplegic nymphos, in a cheese factory, with farm animals... and much more! Just whe MTV's maniacal prankster, Tom Green, takes his surreal nonsense to the movies in Freddy Got Fingered. Playing a Portland, Oregon, goofball who dreams of becoming an animator, Green barely stitches together a rudimentary plot, but he does pile on the kind of agonizing nonsense that is his stock-in-trade: chewing through an umbilical cord, licking somebody's compound fracture, and presenting a sausage-and-keyboard contraption that surely would have delighted early-20th-century Dadaists. Predictably, Green loses something in the transition from television's freeform, microscopic glare to the more formal demands of cinema, and the result isn't pretty. The trouble is, this stuff is largely unsuitable for the broad scope of a movie and, in contrast to the guerrilla tactics of Green's TV show, is prefabricated for the lumbering process of filmmaking. That, in turn, diminishes the effectiveness of Green's grenade-throwing humor and makes Freddy Got Fingered something of a desperate experience. --Tom Keogh
