What can I say as someone who was likely too young to have any knowledge of Tom Green during his relevancy? I had no idea what this film was and I'd only ever heard the name of the film mentioned by people and media. NOTHING could have prepared me for what followed.
Freddy Got Fingered is an ADHD fueled nightmare. I don't know how the hell I feel about it. I feel bad about watching it, but I couldn't look away. You know the saying "it's like a car crash/train wreck in that you know you shouldn't watch but you can't look away? This movie is like that but instead of a car or train, it is 26 consecutive 9/11s
I have never laughed that hard out of horrid befuddlement and discomfort in my life. You have no time to absorb anything, and yet it's burning into your brain irreparably at the same time. It starts just feeling like a weird dream you had and have to explain to someone when you wake up. The earliest lines of dialogue have moments that feel like you think you're watching a film, but might actually be in the late stage of a coma and your dmt is leaking out and killing you. People.. Don't talk like this.. what.. What is this? OH THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING! After the abrupt driving off in the car scene, which I'm still laughing at that scene as I write this, comes the first of what feels like 97 beginnings of a narrative plotline being immediately tossed aside for some INSANE CRAZY SHIT TO HAPPEN AND DERAIL EVERYTHING IN A WAY THAT DOES NOT EVEN REMOTELY ADVANCE THE PLOT! Things will just HAPPEN on screen and your brain is doing evening in it's power to keep up but it has nothing to go on. I panicked. I Laughed. I screamed. I have no words. I'm broken. Things are different now. I can't undo what's been done to me by experiencing this film.
Anyway I'm of the common opinion that this film is a meta narrative on Hollywood and he hate spent the budget they gave him to make the movie to make the most insane and unmarketable fucking thing imaginable on purpose. HE HAD TO KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING. But yeah no, I'm... What do I do with my life now?
