In order to gain a complete understanding of Mr. Smith's failings as a filmmaker, we occasionally need to venture outside of his oeuvre and analyze the work of a true cinematic genius. I'm speaking of course of the great Canadian auteur, Tom Green. In Green's sublime debut FREDDY GOT FINGERED, he displays a supreme mastery of the raunchy comedy genre that places the flaws of our namesake in sharp relief. A truly original voice with a bold creative vision and unparalleled performance skills. We may have found our modern-day Chaplin.
