Freddy Got Fingered

Rare card · No. 40142

Freddy Got Fingered is a 2001 American surreal black comedy film directed by Tom Green and written by Green and Derek Harvie. The film stars Green alongside Rip Torn, Marisa Coughlan, Eddie Kaye Thomas and Julie Hagerty. The plot follows a childish slacker who wishes to become a professional cartoonist while dealing with his abusive father's behavior. The title of the film refers to a plot point where Green's character falsely accuses his father of sexually abusing his brother, the eponymous Freddy. The film also contained animated sequences by Chris Prynoski and his animation studio Titmouse Productions. Before release, the film was moderately toned down to secure an R-rating from the MPAA after the film received an NC-17, per request from the studio. A scene that featured an alternative ending to the film was released as an extra on the film's DVD as a result. Released in the United States on April 20, 2001 by 20th Century Fox, the film was overwhelmingly panned by critics at the time...
