The Blair Thumb

It's really no secret that I honestly don't particularly care for Steve Oedekerk. I don't like what he did to the few Jim Carrey films he was involved in(one of them even being a sequel, and Carrey seldom does those at all... and that one followed a genuinely funny movie, to boot), and I hardly ever find his material funny. I will admit up front that I am really not in the intended audience for this short. That may be part of why I didn't enjoy it as much as others have(and I am in no way trying to keep those who do, will or may enjoy this from watching it). The film seems to be typical to what Oedekerk makes... if you like his other work, you may very well enjoy it. There are a few bodily function jokes, and more often than not, his writing makes fun of itself. At least one joke fits both of the aforementioned criteria. Some of the material is clever. The scenes spoof the original movie(which I could not stand) well. The whole thing is, as the other thumb films(apparently, this is the only one I've watched), acted out by thumbs(yup) with moving eyes and a mouth each. That is actually quite nicely done, and works throughout the almost half-hour run-time. The pacing isn't bad. I didn't hate this, but I'm not sure I'd ever watch it again. I recommend it to fans of Steve Oedekerk, his body of work and people who enjoy his style of humor. 6/10

Two thumbs up, more if I had 'em. Toes as well if those count.

Awesome, awesome, awesome! This is my favorite thumb movie. It is sooooo funny. There are several burning questions throughout the movie. LIKE Why are Vic's screams so bizarre but strangely fascinating to watch? What kind of a name is Jish? What is with Stressy's hair? Are the Briarly twins identical or do they just look alike? and Why is there a shark in the woods? I mean deers don't have dorsal fins. This is a totally awesome movie. There's a giant marshmallow and a thumb with one eye. What more could you want? You need to see it, it's funny plus it's only a half-hour long.

P.S. I really look up to Stressy. I mean she's so well read.

Loved this parody of the movie that just begs to be parodied. The characters are well developed. The emotional element is just well... just OH SPIT MAN, SPIT. I can't wait for more thumb movies. Don't forget to check out THUMB WARS and THUMBTANIC.

I love this movie! This little gem is so funny and creative! It is way better than the Blair witch project! I recommend this movie to everyone! There are quite a few Blair Witch Project spoofs out there,but this one is the best.

If you want 30 minutes of laughter,see,no buy this movie! I'm sure that you will love this movie! It is funny and clean.

It is unrated but I would rate it PG for some suggestive content.

I hope you enjoy the movie and my comment.
