TORONTO -- Forget all those other reviews. CNN's Paul Clinton broke new ground this weekend by declaring "The new comedy from Tom Green, Freddy Got Fingered, is quite simply the worst movie ever released by a major studio in Hollywood history."

I'm sorry, if this keeps up, I'm going to HAVE to see this thing.

Meanwhile, Freddy Got Fingered provided a fair bit of entertainment for us Friday at Silver City Eglinton, where security forces were guarding the R-rated film like Surete du Quebec at the trade conference.

Canny teenagers bought tickets in droves for Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles -- not because they were Paul Hogan fans, but because the screening room was directly opposite Freddy's. Thus a cat-and-mouse game ensued as teens tried to make their runs unnoticed. Some succeeded, some didn't.
