Flagrant-Baronessa Ace Ventura director Steve Oedekerk is all about overblown physical comedy and Thumb Wars, a Star Wars parody, is in no way an exception to his style. It is a half hour's long spoof of the old Star Wars trilogy (not the Phantom Menace, as the title suggests) in which thumbs are used as characters. You may think you have the good taste not to see this, but I assure you that some of the jokes had me in stitches when I first saw it and I am still quoting this film today, years later. However, you most definitely need to be a Star Wars fan and/or well familiar with the films in order to appreciate the gags that Oedekerk attempts.Oedekerk has snapped up on all of the already silly things and the poor writing in the original Star Wars saga, and taken them to the extreme by making them twice as silly and overblown. Take the borderline whiny attitude of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker; in Thumb Wars an opportunity to make fun of this is never missed and the character has this whiny voice and complains about everything. It starts with Luke living at his uncle and aunt's house, much like the original saga, and confronting them one day with: "YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I AM INSIDE! YOU NEVER HAVE! I'M GONNA RUN AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK EVER! " (*storms out crying*) And so starts his adventure to overthrow the empire. Oedekerk also points to the things that George Lucas simply never bothered to explain. Like, Leia (or Princess Bunhead, as she is appropriately called here) once in the empire ship: "I escaped somehow. Let's go." Priceless. Sometimes, the observant viewer can tell that a lot of thought has been put into some of the lines, like the thumb of Han Solo constantly making references to Harrison Ford's movies. While other times, the lines are so random that you just have to laugh out loud. It's also freaky how much thumb Obi-Wan Kenobi sounds like Alec Guinness, the real Obi-Wan. Pay attention to details like this and remember not to take things too seriously. Thumb Wars isn't flawless and there were one or two gags that I thought could have been removed completely, but the awesome dialogue usually makes up for this. I've seen all of the thumb parodies (Blair Witch Thumb, Thumbtanic, etc) and this is my favourite.

accountuseonly If there were thumbs in space and they got mad at each other, there would be...Thumb Wars!Wow..this was possibly one of the funniest movie I have ever seen. The thumbs have have huge eyes, funny eyebrows, small mouths with crooked teeth...what's funnier than that? I found this movie at the video store and decided it looked really dumb, so I rented it. It turned out it was way funny and way better than Justin to Kelly (which I had watched earlier that same day). My favorite character would have to have been Princess Bunhead...because she had buns glued to her head or something; and she also managed to escape somehow on countless occasions. I also thought Yoda was cool, even though he resembled a rotten pear; but it was pretty funny when the light saber magically came out of his head.After the movie was over there were previews for future thumb-related videos including "ThumbTanic". I almost died when that thumb came on the screen and starting singing "My Heart is a Thumb" to the tune of "My Heart Will Go On". I'm making a point to go and find all six movies in the Thumb Series, because they are just so cool.If you haven't already seen this movie then I don't know what you are waiting for. Go see it right now. Go. Leave. Don't read anymore, you're wasting precious thumb-watching time. No seriously...go see it, you don't know what you are missing.oh yea and PS the guy who wrote thumb wars also made jimmy neutron...but we all know thumb wars is way better =]

andrewlb_2000 Well after seeing this it is no Gone with the wind. I in fact hated it but some parts were funny, they really did not make very much sense but the sense they made was very funny I give it a 2 out of 10. the 2 is because it wasn't very funny and and the stuff they had was Sex jokes and I do not like sex jokes.

Genius_15 this movie kicks. it has got to be one of the funniest movies i have ever seen. another great one is the blair thumb. one of the funniest ideas in this movie is that they make fun of the whiny way luke acted. star wars is pretty good except for luke. he talks to fast and he wines through the whole thing. do not watch this if you boring and you can't take a joke. right. 10/10
