Thumb Wars: The Phantom Cuticle
Dir: Steve Oedekerk
1999
**
An odd but inventive parody of the original Star Wars films. With thumbs. It's has a few funny moments of slap-stick comedy and a lot of the thumb/finger/hand related props were clever, the problem is that it's just not very funny. Steve Oedekerk is a likable man but pretty much everything he's done is awful, this is probably my favorite of his and I didn't think much of it. I really wanted to like it, I just couldn't. Robot Chicken Star Wars is much better, very similar but actually funny.
