Family Thighs

About This Movie

Family Thighs is a quirky 1989 spoof that plays around with the sitcom vibe of Family Ties, featuring two brothers, Rick and Phil, who couldn't be more different. It has this offbeat, almost slapstick humor that somehow feels right at home in the late '80s. The pacing is a bit erratic, but that adds to its charm, and the interactions between the brothers and their little sister Andrea bring a chaotic energy that keeps you guessing. It's all about sibling dynamics and the push-pull of settling down versus living it up. Not the most polished film, but there's something refreshingly raw about it, especially in some of the practical effects they tried to pull off.

Family Thighs has seen a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to formats; it’s less common on VHS and even harder to find on DVD. Collectors often note its peculiar charm and the way it captures a slice of late '80s absurdity. While it may not hold the same cult status as other spoofs from the era, there's a niche interest among those who appreciate its off-kilter humor and DIY aesthetic.
