  Review by Eli Hayes ★★★★ 17

  Some claim that Freddy Got Fingered is a satire, or at the very least the antithesis, of what was popular comedies were at the time of its release (e.g. gross out comedies, comedies about man-children, slacker comedies, etcetera). I like this idea, and I think it works to an extent, but I'm not so sure. It's certainly possible... but I'm not so sure. What I am sure about is that it's one of the first widely exhibited displays of anti-humor; is it a coincidence that Adult Swim emerged mere months subsequent to the release of this film? I think not. Tom wasn't trying to make a good film, he was trying to make a vapid film for a niche audience…

  Review by Eli Hayes ★★★★ 6

  the boldest, most tasteless work of post-modern surrealist/absurdist nonsense of the 21st century thus far, floating back and forth through its own, contained expanse of emptiness & madness, and exploiting the standard/traditional aesthetics of its time into a chaotic, incongruous and tragically disgusting rejection of the contemporary, cultural dogma.

  Hi. Hi. Hi. Hi.
  I'm X-ray Cat. I've got super powers.
  I can see through wooden doors
  with my X-ray vision. Wooden doors.
  I can see the criminal on the other side.
  He can't see me, and he's committing crime.
  I come along and say "I can see you. He says
  "You can't." I say "Yes, I can with my..."
  X-ray...
  X-ray Cat.
  "You can't get me. You can't get me."
  "Yes, I can. Yes, I can."
  "Yes, I can. Yes..."
  The bananas.
  I know a banana who applied for a job
  as a telephone repairman.
  Guy came and said "You want a job here?"
  And he said "Yeah, I wanna get a job."
  "You got the job!
  You got…

  Review by COBRARocky ★★★★★

  This belongs in the fucking Smithsonian.

  Probably the only major studio film that will ever be released that's main goal is just testing your patience. I had to watch this in five minute bursts just so that I could remind myself that an actual Hollywood studio funded this and because i was laughing so hard, seeing the Twentieth Century Fox logo had me shaking my head in disbelief.

  Tom Green once humped a dead moose on TV, now he humps Hollywood. We all wish (or secretly wish) we could piss away an opportunity as hard as he did.

  You have to live a certain number of years in our capitalist society to understand that the scene where Tom Green stands on the conveyor belt at his assembly-line cheese factory job, wields a huge sausage over his crotch, and yells "I'M A SEXY BOY! DING DONG! DING DONG!" is not merely funny, but also powerful, moving, and righteous.

  Tom Green's Hardly Working.

  WHEN THE FUCK IS THIS MOVIE GOING TO END

  None of this should work, virtually all of it does. Like OC and Stiggs, this feels like a smart parody of the genre it occupies, operating in this case by turning its central man-child (such a perennial focus for mainstream studio comedies) into a completely deranged sociopath, raised by a man who might be just as insane as he is.

  It's not too late for Tom Green and Drew Barrymore to get back together.

  Hard to believe tonight's 35mm screening at the Drafthouse was so pristine. It's almost like no one in the last 15 years had wanted to see this movie!

  Thoughts on a long overdue revisit at ScreenCrush.

  the only movie that deserves to be called "the film of a free man"
