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

all throughout this wonderful wonderful movie, the screams of Jish are absolutely hilarious and perfect. . this movie, in my opinion is one of the greatest movies of all time. . But Vic, short for victim, really takes the cake. major major props to Steve Oedekerk! I love all the Thumb movies. . Stressy's hair style has an interesting change during the movie, try to find it for yourself. but I am sure someone will notice it. . My favorite scene in this entire movie is the "shark" scene. Along with the few following scenes where they are trying to figure out and rationalize the event. I'm so glad that happened to them, because I don't want that, for me.

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.

Oh man ~ so funny. Steve Oedekirk has the greatest sense of humor! I haven't laughed this hard in AGES!!! I have yet to be let down by any of his loopy O Entertainment creations - and I eagerly await my chance to see Thumbtanic and Kung Pao - Enter the Fist. You can tell he's quite full of himself in his little pre-movie, self-praise rants (on the DVDs, that is). Unbelievable humor - simple and poetic, but thought-provoking, too. There are so many good quotes on this movie - but still, Thumb Wars is the pinnacle of thumb humor... check it out - heck, you'll only lose 30 minutes of your life on it.
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.

This ditty was great for a laugh. You need to have a good sense of humour to watch this, and maybe even the need to like, or maybe dislike the blair witch project. I found it very entertaining, and I tried not to like it seeing as I was forced to watch it, now I'm trying to hunt down thumb wars.

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.
Check out Steve Oedekerk's other thumb movies, The Godthumb,Bat Thumb, And others.
Also,don't forget to check out Steve Oedekerk's Kungpow, enter the fist.

This is a funny take on The Blair Witch Project. Animated thumbs with creepy looking faces surprisingly work well for this short film. This movie is still enjoyable despite its 28 minute runtime. I have two favorite scenes from this movie. My first favorite scene is when a shark is somehow able to attack the three thumb characters in the forest. Another favorite scene of mine is when a mother is being interviewed about The Blair Thumb, while holding her baby. The baby does a creepy trick with 666 on its forehead. There are other funny moments in this thumb adventure as well. I recommend this along with the other thumb films.

To appreciate this film you need to like seemingly random humor, parody and satire, and weird ideas brought to life on film... you will probably like this movie.
The film is a strange satire/parody of "The Blair Witch Project." Even if you haven't seen the film it's satirizing, as long as you know some basics about the film, you'll get most of the jokes. I've seen 5 of the 6 thumb films. (excepting "Frankenthumb") I consider this to be the best of the six. This has some of the most absolutely ridiculous and funny moments I've seen in a parody, especially recent parodies. And the amazing thing is that the film actually manages to stay pretty clean. There's not a whole lot of swearing, there are some sexual jokes, but they're not overwhelming or blatant, and it's something you can watch with children without worrying about the content.
The ending was a little too random, referencing another thumb film, and the DVD menu is a bit of a pain in the ass... switching you to random menus... (on a play of the 'lost in the woods' idea) which brought the movie from a 10 to a 9.
However, the film is very enjoyable and has some of the most ridiculously funny moments I've seen in a parody (once you get to a screen that will play it).
I recommend it for anyone who likes random, weird, satirical humor.
9/10 - weird, satirical, random fun.
