Freddy Got Fingered

Hey, you know what's funny? False accusations of child molestation. Har har har. MTV gross-out comic Tom Green wrote, directed and stars in this loose collection of sub-par Green-ish shticks orbiting around a 28-year-old unemployed nitwit (Green) whose dad (Rip Torn) hates him because, well, he's a worthless human being who goes out of his way to make Dad ashamed of him. The movie's only high point is scene-stealing Marisa Coughlan (Teaching Mrs. Tingle), who bests Green at his own game as a dipsy, hyperactive, nyuck-nyucking paraplegic who gets ravenously aroused by having her paralyzed legs whipped with bamboo canes. (No, really, it's funny.) But to see her out-goof the one-trick Green, you have to sit through his self-indulgent, stomach-turning bits with bloody umbilical cords, animal carcasses and--do I really need to go on? Not recommended. (R. Blackwelder)
