DVD Reviews of Frankenthumb
DVD Review: Franken-dumb
Summary: 2 Stars
Oh wow. I was embarrassed to have watched this one. Poor. Pathetic. Lousy. If you're thinking about buying this movie, I'm speculating you've seen at least one other thumb movie before (if not, check out a ditty called Thumb Wars first). Let's just say this: Frankenthumb is not that funny and doesn't live up to the expectations set by Oedekerk's work before. You won't find much worth quoting unless you like long, mundane monologues. Set design and animation aside, it isn't that great of a movie. A very, VERY disappointing video. The DVD extras are actually better than the feature itself (which isn't hard to do, I suppose). You'll be better off with just about any other thumb film you can find. But PLEASE don't succumb to buying this one, even if it IS a complete series.

Media Type: DVD
A half-hour parody, Frankenthumb is one in a series of featurette pastiches of famous movies masterminded by Steve Oederkerk (Kung Pow: Enter the Fist) cast with human thumbs with CGI-inset mouths and eyes, a process that's more weird than funny. A précis of the 1931 Frankenstein, shot on impressive (and beautifully lit) miniature sets, the film tells the old, old story: megalomaniac Dr. Frankenthumb and his inept assistant Humpy create life in the laboratory, unleashing a monster named Pepper ("because he's brought spice into our lives") who goes on a rampage, menaces the daughter of a somewhat irritating Italian man, and is pursued by a mob into a burning windmill, whereupon a guest star from an earlier mini-epic (Bat Thumb) turns up to deliver some sort of an ending. One or two good jokes pop up, but not enough. --Kim Newman
