Freddy Got Fingered

By EWAN McDONALD

(Herald rating: * * )

In Freddy Got Fingered, Tom Green, Drew Barrymore's soon-to-be ex, stars as Gord Brody, a frustrated, unemployed 28-year-old who dreams of becoming an animator and selling his drawings to Hollywood.

He leaves his parents' basement in Oregon and drives to California to chase his dream.

He takes a job at a cheese sandwich factory and chases his dream. He doesn't catch his dream. So it's back to his parents' home, where his father (Rip Torn) is not happy to see him.

Put it this way: if you think a paraplegic nymphomaniac girlfriend is funny, you may enjoy this movie. You may also pass through adolescence one day soon.
