Really Surprised!

A Masterpiece!

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This half hour is a short film that writer and director and voice actor Steve Oedekerk made over 15 years ago. It features the story of "Star Wars", only that the central characters are all played by thumbs. Oedekerk did the same with some other films like "The Godfather" and "Blair Witch Project". Two years after this parody here, he scored an Oscar nomination in the animated feature category for his work on "Jimmy Neutron". Since then, he has worked on many films and television series. I myself am not the greatest "Star Wars" fan and this is maybe also why I did not appreciate this one here really that much. It's not a terrible watch by any means, but something was missing for me to really let me recommend it. I hoped it would be funnier. Thumbs down, could have been better at 20 minutes max.

When I watched this short film I couldn't help laughing because it was such a seamless and brilliant rip off of Star Wars, which is definitely a Film that is not easy to make a spoof of. Steve Oedekerk really delivers in this because he takes a very serious story, as sci-fi films go; and turns it into something that will make you fall off your chair with laughter. Everything about his script is great, right from the moment where you first see a hand being used as the main spacecraft of the Thumbellion to the moment where all of the people are honoured for their part in the destruction of the death star; with even Oobedoob Scooby-Doo Benubi showing up in spirit with big grin and all. The names that are chosen for each character are great, my favourites are Princess Bunhead, Hand Duet, Cruchie and Oobedoob Benubi. If you haven't watched this film, give it a whirl; because you will not be disappointed. And even if you're a die hard fan of the Star Wars movies, you should definitely consider watching this film.

If there were thumbs in space and they got mad at each other, there would be...Thumb Wars!Wow..this was possibly one of the funniest movie I have ever seen. The thumbs have have huge eyes, funny eyebrows, small mouths with crooked teeth...what's funnier than that? I found this movie at the video store and decided it looked really dumb, so I rented it. It turned out it was way funny and way better than Justin to Kelly (which I had watched earlier that same day). My favorite character would have to have been Princess Bunhead...because she had buns glued to her head or something; and she also managed to escape somehow on countless occasions. I also thought Yoda was cool, even though he resembled a rotten pear; but it was pretty funny when the light saber magically came out of his head.After the movie was over there were previews for future thumb-related videos including "ThumbTanic". I almost died when that thumb came on the screen and starting singing "My Heart is a Thumb" to the tune of "My Heart Will Go On". I'm making a point to go and find all six movies in the Thumb Series, because they are just so cool.If you haven't already seen this movie then I don't know what you are waiting for. Go see it right now. Go. Leave. Don't read anymore, you're wasting precious thumb-watching time. No seriously...go see it, you don't know what you are missing.oh yea and PS the guy who wrote thumb wars also made jimmy neutron...but we all know thumb wars is way better =]

There were many times I saw this movie on DVD and almost bought it. But I'm sure glad I didn't! This is the worst satire ever. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It's way too long and never funny. Princess Leia with Danish pastries on her head might've gotten a couple laughs in 1978, but by now it's a tired and worn out joke. And what's the point of having the characters as thumbs? It has nothing to do with the humor (or lack of). I love Star Wars and fan films, but this is just bad news!
