From Amazon.com: Steve Oedekerk (who wrote and directed Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) masterminds a series of movie parodies in which the actors are replaced by thumbs--more specifically, thumbs with eyes and mouths digitally superimposed. The Godthumb has a script that would be funny even if performed by normal actors (something that can't be said for all the Thumbation movies), but the bizarrely high-quality thumb effects push it to the point of surrealism. The Godthumb parodies all the high points of The Godfather (the horse head in the bed, the death of Sonny, the orange peel), but it's at its best when it spirals off into its own peculiar universe. Fans of the Thumbation flicks will not be disappointed. --Bret Fetzer
The Godthumb: Not the best of the series. I loved Thumbtanic, & ThumbWars. This one was very disappointing. Not a single laugh on my part.
Medicore humor that could easily be better: I love the Thumbnation concept, but unlike Thumb Wars this one just doesn't deliver humor for me. It's attemps to spoof God Father are weak as there are hints and pieces of GodFather in here, but it's not very obvious. If this movie was a concise spoof of just the 1st or all 3 God Fathers I would have had a blast but this was more like some rambling story with some characters influenced by God Father. Even at it's fair price (considering it is a 30min movie maybe it isn't all that fair) I would have to say this isn't worth buying.
I never get tired of watching this movie: I have the entire "Thumb" collection and The Godthumb is, by far, my favorite. While the others are good, this is the only one that I have watched about a dozen times and will continue watching. It's amazing how the most important parts of The Godfather are in The Godthumb (i.e. the horse head in bed, the orange peel, Sonny (Thumby) at the toll booth, etc.) Steve Oedekerk is a genius. I can't wait for his next movie.
HEY! This isn't toilet paper!: This is the best thumb movie since Thumb Wars. If it wasn't for the Yoda puppet part in Thumb Wars, this would be the best one. This movie is full of funny things. The movie is not boring at all since there is something funny going on about every 5 seconds at the most. The big upside down mouth guy is in this movie and he gets choked to death with sausage links. It also has a guy in a badger costume that screams too. Har har!
All this because of meat cubes?: God Thumb: What brings you here? You: I want to learn about the movie God Thumb. God Thumb: Any other day I would refuse to give you this information, but since it is my daughters wedding I will grant you your wish. Adopted Lawyer Son, grant this fine viewer his wish. Adopted Lawyer Son: Ah? You want learn about this movie aye? You: Yes! Adopted Lawyer Son: This movie is a great movie, it has guns, gangsters, a God Thumb, meat cubes, rocket launchers, headless animals, and a robo-boogie-bot. It is a fine movie it is. After watching it you will learn that your life is now complete. God Thumb: Well said Adopted Lawyer Son you may go. Thumby: What ifa they hatea the movie pops? God Thumb: Then we will hunt you down and feed you to the dogs... I'm sorry for my rude behavior I should have not of said that, enjoy God Thumb.
