Best movie ever!

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

"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 not a film for people who like their entertainment sophisticated. Nope,...this film is meant for those who take pride in enjoying a really silly and stupid movie now and again. And, boy do I mean silly!! This short features human thumbs with computer technology in order to make the thumbs "come alive" in a wonderful parody of the recent Batman movies. And, overall, the parody is pretty broad and silly. I especially liked his side-kick. Instead of a helpful "ward", it's just some nut who dresses like a bird and can't seem to do anything right,...and WON'T go home like Bat Thumb keeps telling him to do! It's a good time passer, though not as funny as some of the production company's other thumb movies--most notably THUMB WARS, THUMBTANIC and THE GODTHUMB. Since they are all pretty short, I say see them all!

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.
