“This movie doesn’t scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.” -Roger Ebert

Tom Green’s bizarro surrealist gross-out comedy shocked and appalled critics upon its release in 2001. The BBC smeared it as “embarrassing, offensive and resoundingly pointless.” Roger Ebert called it “a vomitorium.” CNN dubbed it simply “the worst movie ever released by a major studio in Hollywood history.” Freddy Got Fingered nearly killed Tom Green’s career just as he was poised for superstardom. And yet, the legend of this utterly singular work of abrasive anti-comedy lives on. Green stars as wannabe animator Gord Brody, who leaves the safety of his parents’ basement to make it big in Hollywood and along the way meets the paraplegic nymphomaniac of his dreams. Featuring some of the most outlandish and offensive scenes ever released under the auspices of a major studio, Freddy Got Fingered may not be for everyone, but it remains a work of true deranged vision. Hey, it even made it to the Criterion Channel — it’s officially art now!

Come out at 7 pm for a pre-show with the weirdest, wildest, and funniest clips from The Tom Green Show!
