I took my poor friend Amata to see this film,
and the uncomprehending look of horror that
sat upon her face while Tom Green committed
one cinematic atrocity after another will
haunt me until my dying day. Amata, who had
worked as a henchwoman for some truly
sadistic Venezuelan drug lords before
brutally dismembering them and taking over
the business, was not used to the kind of
cruelty that American comedies can inflict
upon an audience. This "film," if it can be
called that, is really just a series of
vignettes featuring as much blood and
inhumanity as possible. If you want to see
Tom Green swing a newborn baby over his head
by the umbilical cord, then, by all means, go
see Freddy Got Fingered, but do so
with ample warning that this will be the most
unpleasant possible way to spend 90 minutes
without actually meeting Richard Simmons.
