Description:
A notorious New York mafia family rules a vast criminal empire of extortion, gambling, and murder, all led by The Godthumb. His struggle to control the underworld of crime and corruption is only offset by the "favors" he is asked from his many personal and professional "family" members. From the comic mind of Steve Oedekerk (Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, Jimmy Neutron, Ace Ventura) comes a gripping tale of true crime mixed with sensationalistic falsehoods and wrapped in vicious mobster stereotypes. Whatever you do, don't fuhgeddaboudit!

Steve Oedekerk (who wrote and directed Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls) masterminds a series of movie parodies in which the actors are replaced by thumbs--more specifically, thumbs with eyes and mouths digitally superimposed. The Godthumb has a script that would be funny even if performed by normal actors (something that can't be said for all the Thumbation movies), but the bizarrely high-quality thumb effects push it to the point of surrealism. The Godthumb parodies all the high points of The Godfather (the horse head in the bed, the death of Sonny, the orange peel), but it's at its best when it spirals off into its own peculiar universe. Fans of the Thumbation flicks will not be disappointed. --Bret Fetzer
