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.
Freddy Got Fingered

What to Know

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.

My rating system only goes down to one star instead of no stars. But I must confess that every once in a while, a movie comes along that makes me want to take the zero-star plunge -- a movie just like Freddy Got Fingered. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Leia W Apr 21, 2019 Funny, poignant and delicately crafted, Freddy got Fingered succeeds in every front.
Finn R Mar 23, 2019 My jaw was all the way down to the floor when I saw this horrendous train wreck. There are so many things that don't make sense. A bad script, bad plot, bad performances, annoying storytelling, stupid comedy, ear-bleeding sound design, do I need to say more. Tom Green should just retire; as this kind of work ethic is just lifeless. Really BAD movie. Overall Rating: 0. See more
Ron R Feb 25, 2019 One of my all time favorites. Tom Green had one shot and he knocked it out of the park, I wish they would release the directors cut. See more
Leia G Dec 13, 2018 Not really being the worst I've seen, this movie does one thing wrong: bore me. Nothing interesting happens and the shock humor isn't exactly special so it's technically a bad film but in a dis-interesting way. See more
Nov 25, 2018 The greatest film in history.
Han W Sep 30, 2018 Might be the best movie ever.
