Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

"The Godthumb" is a half-hour film from 2002, so this one has its 15th anniversary this year and maybe you already guessed from the title that this is another of Oscar nominee Steve Oedekerk's parodies of very well-known movies. If so, then you guessed correctly because in the center of it all here we have thumbs portraying real people including Don Corleone and his lawyers and sons. It is a parody of "The Godfather", a film that many consider the greatest of all time and I personally must say I believe it it is inferior to the sequel that I consider one of the greatest of all time. But we shall speak about these two on another occasion. Oh yeah, well back to this one here now. I guess we have to. There are several classic scenes from "The Godfather" references and if you have seen the original (not too long ago), then you will recognize these scenes of course. One would be the mention of the daughter's wedding day. Other than that, Oedekerk shows us the Don's unnatural obsession with kittens, which was intended as one of the film's comedic highlights, but it's really just not working out and same can be said about the whole movie. Maybe I am a bit biased as I am not a fan of the other Thumb films I have seen either, but the concept is just nothing that amazes me I must say. In any case, the director here is David Bourla and his collaborations with Oedekerk are probably the only reason why his name is not entirely unknown. This one runs for roughly half an hour and I believe if you want to you could watch all these Thumb films in one sitting. But why would you want to? It's nothing creative or entertaining in my opinion and give it a thumbs-down. Stay away.

This film is an incredibly silly parody of The Godfather,....starring thumbs with computer-generated faces! WAIT!!!! Keep reading--it's really not as dumb as it sounds and it is darn funny! Really! Steve Oedekerk has created several thumb parodies and they are all well worth watching. The Godthumb isn't the best (this would go to Thumb Wars and Thumbtanic), but it is one of the better ones and not to be missed. Plus, you actually get TWO films for the price of ONE!! Yes, in addition to The Godthumb, it has Electric Robo-boogie II!!! This, and all thumb movies, are okay for the entire family to watch. Especially if these people LIKE to occasionally watch a silly film without thinking too hard or being critical. Yup, if you have an Uncle Leon who always criticizes everything, DON'T tell him about it--watch the film when he's not around and let yourself go!

This is by far, the greatest thumb movie! This movie has all the spoofs off of "The Godfather". It has the shooting, the orange peel, the horse head, and some aspect of the dialogue. Steve Odekerk does it again with this laugh-out-loud thumbation film thats always a delight to see. I would give this movie an 8/10. I know that seems high for such a low-budget movie, but this movie deserves every star. More people should see this movie, and enjoy it for what it is. The idea of putting faces on thumbs seemed really stupid to me before I watched "The Godthumb". This film is completely original, and works to potential. It had to spoof off of a film that is widely loved and admired, and anyone would have difficulty doing that. Steve Odekerk makes it look so easy, and pays respect to "The Godfather". This movie should be loved and admired by all movie-goers everywhere.

Not really. It's cute. Rent it though. Buying it will just make you want to kick yourself. Sorry Steve O. Not your best.
