Freddy Got Fingered (2001)
Comedy Self-made celebrity and outlaw of gross-out comedy, Tom
Green (of MTV's TOM GREEN SHOW) makes the leap to the big screen
with the outrageous semi-autobiographical FREDDY GOT FINGERED.
Starring as Gord Brody, a slacker fast-approaching 30, yet still
living in his father's basement, Green is his usual obtusely
hilarious, polymorphously perverse self. Physical comedy ascends
to the realm of extreme performance art as Brody's unachievable
lifelong dream to become an animator causes him to clash with
his hardened father (played by the steely and equally funny Rip
Torn.) A furtive love affair with a wheelchair-bound rocket
scientist and the disturbing hijinks of a troublesome younger
brother named Freddy form the core of the sublimely stupid plot
that serves mainly as a platform from which Green launches his
incredible and often irrational comedic fare. Testing the limits
of comedy, Green's deceptively moronic film does, at times,
achieve a level of visual and conceptual cleverness, crafting
ironic and primordial images from jokes on human folly.

quick-witted observer of a world that seems to run on dark
secrets and strange gropings in the night. Sam and Lydia both
begin to pursue love in Gro Vant, Wyoming in their own way:
Lydia by starting a provocative neighborhood-shaking affair with
a straight-laced rodeo-riding Native American named Hank
Elkrunner; Sam by developing a palpitating crush on the brainy
and beautiful 7th-grade rancher's daughter Maurey. When Sam
