Splitsider: In 2001, a critically loathed, sparsely attended movie born out of a hit, hip cable show became synonymous with bad movies, failure, and struck a blow against edgy and weird comedy infiltrating the mainstream.
That movie was Pootie Tang, eventually a cult hit, written and directed by Louis C.K., who eventually became president of comedy. But that description back there also fits Freddy Got Fingered. Directed by, co-written by, and starring Tom Green, famous for his strange and surprisingly popular MTV man-on-the-street show, Freddy Got Fingered upped Green’s penchants for irony and gross-out humor. It more or less killed Green’s career for a while and became shorthand for shitty movies until Gigli replaced it in hearts and minds a couple of years later.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Daddy would you like some sausage?... Daddy would you like some sausage?
What is to reconsider about it? Classic then and still funny as hell!
I wanna eat chicken burgers!
I kind of think the film, in terms of it's comedy, was ahead of it's time. With the amount of crap made by Hollywood over recent years increasing I think this film would of done a better if it was released now then when it was released back then.
I mean it has some classic moments in the film. Two mentioned above.
Is it silly....yes
Is it immature...yes
Is it childish...yes
But is it hillarious...hell yes
I saw this in the theater. Never laughed so hard in my life. It is purposely irreverent. Most people didn't get that.
has it really taken these guys (and the onion av club) 7-10 years to figure out this movie kicks ass on so many levels? they and everyone else who gave it bad reviews should stop wasting people's time with what they "think"
