Wonderful Movie

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

"Bat Thumb" is another of these parodies of famous films with the main characters played by thumbs. The writer and producer is Bob Oedekerk as usual and he made this one a year before he gained his Academy Award nomination for "Jimmy Neutron". The director of this 15-year-old film is David Bourla and for him it is also one of several Thumb works. This Batman parody is probably the second most famous after the "Star Wars" parody. Other include "Titanic" and "The Godfather" for example. But back to this one. It was actually done before Christopher Nolan launched his mega-successful trilogy. Sadly, these 28 minutes here were not particularly entertaining apart from 2 or 3 mildly funny moments and from the dramatic perspective this film does not deliver 1% actually. So yeah, not a good watch, also not for "Batman" films. The Cock Robin reference also got old pretty quickly. Overall, a weak watch. Not recommended.

this is by far my favorite of the thumb sexology, probably because i love the batman movies, all the way back to the classic starring adam west and up to "batman begins". most of the jokes are playing off the stereotype of the legacy, like bat thumb's interest in saving the day if women are at the scene or the forced feeling of blue jay's unnecessary presence, but there's also quite a bit of creativity, like turning alfred's character into an incredible drunkard. i also highly recommend checking out the special features, namely the cast interviews and deleted scenes--they are worth your time! i also appreciate how no face allots ample time for bat thumb and blue jay to escape his crafty dooming contraption and leaves the scene, assuming everything works out. it's very reminiscent of dr. evil of the austin powers trilogy, yet it doesn't feel overdone.

This short flick is one of the funniest things I have ever seen, it made my day--second only to "Kung Pow," which, coicidentally, was also directed by Steve Odekerk. "I'm Blue Jay, your sidekick" in that gay voice sent me on the floor I was laughing so hard. I had to watch it again. "Stop. You're making me miss," as Bat Thumb tried to get his bat rope over the window while Blue Jay was pining. I nearly lost it. Just get the movie and forget the doctor you'll be laughing so hard--this is for some movies that take comic book characters far too seriously. Outstanding, Steve! I want to party with you, man! :)

Blue Jay had to be the funniest thing about this movie! I mean when he follows bat thumb using his sisters bicycle was too funny. And the whole thing about everyone finding the sidekick a bit on the "funny" side while bat thumb is denying his relationship with a fruity sidekick.True, not as funny as thumb wars, but still a good watch.
