All are quite excellent, with the exception of The Godthumb (not related to the production itself, just the subject [you can't really translate The Godfather into a comedy, it just doesn't work]). By far the best of the series has to be The Blair Thumb, "take the girl, leave us alone!", GENIUS! My only complaint is the lack of extras. I would have liked to see more behind the scenes stuff about how they make the "THUMBS". Maybe someday, we'll finally get to see the one that never got made (yet?) in THUMB MATRIX!

On FRANKENTHUMB:
probably the worsed one out there. Boring. Utterly dull.
But of course the thumb movies are more supposed to be quick entertainment, and not an epic. So enjoy.

Thumb-tastic

"Contains the six "Thumb" movies as originally released, original case, artwork, and all, each of which remains available seperately. There is no new content in the box set, but this makes a great gift or starter collection (especially at the... price)and each of these films is a must-have for lovers of parody and offbeat humor. After you're done watching the films, be sure to catch the "cast interviews" and additional features, many of which are as funny or more so than the films."
Get the Box set!

"Every movie is so funny that you want to watch them over and over. Watch with your cronies and you'll walk away with clichés that you'll share for further laughs. There hasn't been anything else so unique and sarcastic on so many levels. Its even funny if you haven't seen the original movie that is being parodied. If you did see the original movie, you'll notice things about it that you didn't before. The parodies have been done so well. I love have the extra commentaries and deleted scenes.The special effects of the thumbs with all the high tech computer savy are even parodied, being used along side some low tech props. It's hilarious.
Go for the Box set, best price in the world."

"If you like a good parody, these are for you. Oedekerk is my hero. My kids think they are funny, too. I think you have to be somewhat familiar with the films that they parody to fully appreciate all the references."
