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, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Jessica Winter, Village Voice
The deranged momentum of guerrilla chaos that propelled the series is gone.
-
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
Doesn't push the limits of taste so much as the limits of how bad a movie can be.
-
Charles Cassady, Common Sense Media
Sorry, this one's just vile.

Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com
For every person who walks out of "Freddy Got Fingered" in disgust, there will be two hundred others howling in laughter.
-
David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews
Watch this only if you'd like to see Green lick the exposed bone of his best friend.
