Television star Tom Green makes his directorial debut with this gross-out comedy. Green stars as Gord Brody, a 28-year-old slacker who aspires to be an animator of Hollywood cartoons. After his dreams of working for studio mogul Dave Davidson (Anthony Michael Hall) temporarily wash out, along with his thankless job at a cheese factory, Gord returns home to live with his parents, Jim (Rip Torn) and Julie (Julie Hagerty). Jim wishes that Gord would simply grow up, move out of the basement, and get a real job like his younger brother Freddy (Eddie Kaye Thomas), who works in a responsible position at a bank. When the battle of wills between Gord and Jim heats up, Gord devises various stunt-like schemes to drive his father bonkers, including the bogus charge that their father molested Freddy as a youngster. Marisa Coughlan co-stars as Gord's wheelchair-bound, nymphomaniac, amateur rocket-scientist girlfriend Betty, while comedian and Green's fellow Canada native Harland Williams plays Gord's oddball neighbor Darren. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Gross-out king of comedy Tom Green made his directing debut with Freddy Got Fingered, a movie that dares to go to the edge -- and then over it. Fox has done a very nice job on this title, making sure that the 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer is crisp and clean. Featuring strong, bold black levels and bright colors, =Freddy Got Fingered's picture looks very nice. Audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround and, while not overly aggressive, this track still is able to rock your sound system using directional effects during musical sequences. Dialogue, effects, and music are all clear and concise, with no distortion present. Also included on this disc is a Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround track in English, as well as English and Spanish subtitles.
=Freddy Got Fingered points the finger at many well-produced extra features, including a subdued (yet nevertheless odd) feature-length commentary track by director/star/co-writer Tom Green. Complementing that track are screen-specific commentary tracks by actors Rip Torn, Harland Williams, and Marisa Coughlan, all of whom add some bizarre and interesting stories to the proceedings. Also included on this disc are deleted scenes featuring optional commentary by Tom Green, a world premiere audience participation track (letting the viewer hear the audience's response to the disgusting gags), an MTV "making of" movie special, TV spots, and a theatrical trailer. Finally there is a shorter, more "promotional" featurette on Freddy Got Fingered, cast and crew information, as well as a PG-rated version of the film that edits out all the obscene parts (rendering it only three minutes long). Whether you're a fan or foe of Tom Green's comedic antics, the fact remains that this is a very well-produced DVD. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
