Theatrical report

Gross out.

Tom Green is a bit of a wacky guy. He'd almost be zany if he wasn't so off the wall. His sense of humour takes you places that you only imagined when you saw Jim Carrey assaulting a cow in the Farrelly brothers' Me, myself and Irene or Chris Klein assaulting a cow in Say it isn't so. Tom doesn't assault a cow but he does take on some road kill (a deer), which does just as good.

The story of Freddy got fingered is, as you already suspect, an excuse to get some gags on screen; it follows the traditional Hollywood plot of loser seeking his way in the big wide world, failing to fit in, then finding his niche and making good. Mind you, every part of that plot is twisted by Tom's fertile imagination. Kinky wheelchair sex, anyone? There is even some social satire on taboo subjects like pædophilia, media creation of heroes and the American infatuation with psycho-therapy.

If you want a good, in your face, up your bum, smack around the ears kind of film that's so gross that you have to laugh then Freddy got fingered is just what the doctor ordered.
