Caning a disabled person's legs. Falsely accusing someone of child molestation. Swinging a newborn baby by its umbilical cord, spattering walls with blood. Oh, and lest we forget, wagging a horse's genitals. Welcome, one and all, to the things that ex-MTV shock comedian Tom Green believes constitute 'Hilarity'.
Whether or not you 'get' Green's dopey, cruelty-tinged humour, this isn't going to change the fact that this comedic train wreck is funny the way The Plague is cute.
Green (also directing and writing - we use the terms loosely) plays Gord Brody, a 28-year-old failed animator who returns home to live with his father (Torn, in it for the money - we hope), who hates him, and his ignorant mother (Hagerty). The despicable moron also kindles a 'romance' with the paraplegic Betty, who dreams of, er, rocket-powered wheelchairs and oral sex.
These are mere details, of course, as Green and co-writer David Harvie simply thrust the comedian from one outrageous situation to the next, each one laced with gratuity, lack of invention and outright cruelty.
Lacking the unsuspecting innocents crucial to his TV act, Green goes all out for shock value, which he pursues - and achieves - with attention-seeking verve, but with all the grace and mileage of a lame turtle.
If the film claims any milestone, it features a man being drenched by elephant sperm - from the source. Not exactly the thing that should be thrust on cinema's history books, or intelligent audiences.
Embarrassing, offensive and resoundingly pointless, "Freddy Got Fingered" is cast-iron proof that Hollywood will bankroll any old dross.
