Big Thumbs

About This Movie

Big Thumbs is a quirky little gem from 1977 that digs into the absurdity of sexual liberation with a surprisingly light-hearted touch. Andrea Dove's transformation from reserved to unabashedly adventurous is both amusing and oddly relatable, navigating her way through a series of ludicrous encounters post-elevator mishap. The film has a distinctive charm, blending a campy atmosphere with an earnest exploration of desire and identity. It’s not heavy on plot, but the pacing keeps things lively, and the performances deliver a refreshing dose of honesty amidst the farcical situations. The practical effects, though minimal, add to its unique character, making it a curious watch for those interested in the more unconventional side of '70s cinema.

Big Thumbs has seen limited releases and isn’t the most common title on collector’s shelves, adding a layer of intrigue for those who appreciate obscure comedies. Its unique premise and offbeat humor often catch the eye of collectors looking for films that challenge conventional narratives of the time. With a bit of searching, you might still find it on VHS or in niche DVD compilations, but expect to pay a premium for an original copy, as it remains an underappreciated entry from the late '70s.
