Movie Reviews of Frankenthumb
Movie Review: Frankenthumb
Summary: 5 Stars
Once you get past the idea of thumbs portraying characters in a classic literature story, you will love it. It stays fairly true to the original story of the misunderstood monster but as long as you are not expecting academy award material you will not be disappointed. So very funny! We originally bought this for our preteen age son, but were happy to find that the entire family loved it. A must have for all those who love crazy, random humor.
Summary of Frankenthumb
It's alive! Gasp at nonstop comedy in this outrageous spoof of the horror classic, direct from the mind of Steve Oedekerk (Jimmy Neutron, The Nutty Professor). Incredible stylistic detail brings you into a world of gothic laboratories, hunchbacks, and even a deceased Thumb brought back to life! Hold on to your electrodes!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 pr?cis 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
