Stephen King's Thinner Movie Review

I was in a Stephen King mood! I review Thinner, the hit or miss movie adaption of the story about a man who wishes he had a tapeworm.

"Your mom didn't seem to mind" DUDE. You got yourself a like

[@LoveliestSunflower95]

“After all… *YOUR MOTHER DIDN’T SEEM TO MIND* “ 😂

[@JodieFowler-ls8ce]

It’s taken me WAY too long to comment on how much I appreciate and enjoy this channel. Tom is amazing, genuine, hilarious, and a true gem. Thank you for what you do, and your cats are equally delightful. ❤

[@Lunchladydoyle]

He’s a breath of fresh air 😊

[@ShroomyTheOne]

HIS NAME IS TOM!?. cool

[@Mashita_Kills77]

100 percent 💯💕✨ he's a true gem 💎love the newbee channel!!💕✨

[@buckocean7616]

This channel is horribly undervalued. It always is wickedly smart and funny. The almighty ALGORITHM needs a kick in the ass !!!

[@docsnake]

That algorithm has ruined so many KZbin lives!

[@gailpatterson8740]

"It worked for OJ.....too soon?" CHEF'S KISS!!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@planexshifter]

The last pi joke, that got me.

[@jimmutchler9950]

With Joe Mantegna as Fat Tony.

[@randycunningham7318]

He is good in it.

[@backtoearth1983]

It's a heartwarming story of how The Hammer was rehabilitated and joined the BAU to assist in capturing serial killers

[@LaFlor718]

My fiancé and I adore this channel and I loved you PSA on Weight at the beginning. Funny and honest. Now I’m ready to settle in and watch this review on the big screen. This movie is criminally underrated and I’m looking forward to the snappy commentary that is bound to come from a NewBee vid.

[@jafuni9349]

The comment “the speed bump’s dad” just killed me. ROFL

[@imogenx9145]

I always prefer the monkey's paw "be careful what you wish for" trope. Great commentary as always 😊

[@dainapolchow4177]

This movie is where ozempic got its weight loss idea from.

[@biljam972]

I guess the idea was for us to be on Gypsies' side, but what they did just made a chain of tragedies. It was really really a bad curse that killed like a bunch of innocent people, and not even the itended target.

[@mattpenn9079]

The rules of the pie are as complicated as the rules to owning a Mogwai, I swear!

[@blackfoxx86]

I love the book and the movie. I recommend getting the audiobook version since its narrated by Joe Mantenga himself. He does an excellent job at giving the characters their own voices, accents and inflections, He also does a great job capturing the emotions of the characters.

[@richardhoehn9922]

Love your riff reviews! If you haven't already, check out Drag Me To Hell for another Gypsy curse. I haven't thought about Thinner in ages, and it was one Stephen King novel that I missed reading.

[@Irish381]

The pie puns were dirty but funny 😆, giggidy!

[@Rendezman562]

Damn, forgot how much Robert sounds like Clint Eastwood with his raspy voice??!!

[@arkayoarkayo4739]

..."I guess his word was inside-out- jelly- donut". 😂

[@grapeshot]

Yeah I like how he dealt with a gypsy curse much better than how it was dealt with in Drag Me to Hell. The AK-47 white man from town says take it off.

[@TheKrossRoads]

I made that same connection. This is Drag Me To Hell, over a decade earlier, and with a less sympathetic curse-giver.

[@TroubleToby3040]

Okay, but the very sight of a high up mafia guy taking care of a problem HIMSELF with a MACHINE GUN is just one of the many things that makes this film too silly to enjoy. That is not how you mafia, that is how you Rambo, lol.

[@TheKrossRoads]

@@TroubleToby3040 I can agree with that. I'd have expected to see goons doing the machine gun thing, but maybe he prefers getting his hands dirty himself. Or maybe it's an honor thing where he owed a favor personally, so he takes care of it personally. For me, the silliest thing in the movie is that fat suit.

[@melissande]

It's probably not set in Maine because he wrote it as Richard Bachman. I remember hating this movie as a teenager, but I should try it again now that I have more of a taste for bad movies. Fun review as always!

[@MC-jj9zd]

But the movie was filmed in Maine in my hometown and around the area. ❤ i remember driving over the bridge and see the carnival all set up, it was pretty cool!

[@rednemesis88]

There was a movie called "Dark August" that came out in 1976. The premise is similar to "Thinner".

[@Concreteowl]

The "Magic Gypsy' trope is sadly a racism that hasn't gone away yet.

[@thatsjustprime8096]

Have a day off, ffs🤔🤣🤣

[@andreiiancu2501]

They sell curses

[@courtneychambersmusic]

I love your commentary! You crack me up! Currently binge watching your channel!

[@brettschacht4183]

Another NewBee Review? Giggity!

[@Lunchladydoyle]

I just watched this on KZbin premium. It was better than I remembered. Cheesy fun with respectable practical effects. Yes the screenplay and dialogue are predictable and hackneyed but with the whole cast hamming it up to great effect it makes for a fun view !!

[@cgill4269]

Another fantastic review!! I love the fact you review so really out of way movies not just the norm!! This is one of my favorite movies & yes, The hammer is a great character!!

[@ceciliaalbers3394]

I always look forward to these uploads!

[@sabrinamoskowitz488]

This movie is one that gets worse with each viewing. Robert John Burke gives it his all; but, the movie is way too campy to take seriously. Your channel is great. You are a genuine delight 😊

[@Seoulsearch616]

I truly enjoy your videos. Thank you for continuing to make them! 😁👍🏼

[@blaah9999]

That HOA joke had me rollingggggg

[@minuette1752]

Yes!!!! I always love your reviews/reactions.!!!!!

[@Irish381]

Loved the It’s always sunny in Philadelphia title cards! The funny yet poignant moments. Also felt like the wife was indeed cheating, but his paranoia is just too much of unreliable bias for the protagonist’s motivations.

[@derekhedgecoth789]

Love your vids man

[@kellyluvofmusic]

Got excited when I saw his daughter that actress was in my favorite show one tree Hill.

[@Troyissexy]

That cursed guy needs Jesus (been a while)

[@DravenGal]

I read the story of Thinner, it's not a terrible adaption. But I read and saw it a long time ago, so I may be wrong.

[@dottiegillespie8067]

Yahoo! Thank you sir. Im so happy you reviewed this movie. I always found it entertaining.

[@yuihopes7031]

I'm going to join in to also express how much I like your videos. I could write a paragraph on everything I like but just be sure I like the whole package!! 💙 Thank you ⭐

[@karaduke6874]

Another great review!! 😊

[@tahnadana5435]

i love the mafia guy..his the mafia in the simpsons too...also i love him in Favorite Deadly Sins chronicles

[@michaelthomas5433]

Curse Giving is a college elective at select schools. So many ppl pass on those courses.

[@rawr1130]

That rahhh 5:11 😂😂😂

[@cellytron]

"Damn... maybe he SHOULD be in jail" made me guffaw

[@Irish381]

The jar of acid scene is my favorite, next to the hand being shot with the ball bearing.

[@WildFungus]

dude nice job. This was a good one. It's like what if 'Drag Me To Hell' played it straight.

[@bernd_das_brot6911]

Mafia guy is a true bro 🥰 At least Billy lost the curse!!

[@user-dr2yz8um3d]

Nostalgia Critic reviewed this one not too long ago Sadly it’s sitting at 19% on Rotten Tomatoes I do remember the holographic vhs cover at video stores growing up I cannot believe Bethany joy Lenz was in this pre-One Tree Hill

[@1vbAPiYk]

Gina is one of the most beautiful women Ive ever seen Dang,,,,

[@minuette1752]

I am so waiting for Baghead and Late Night with the Devil. I know you will get to them. :)

[@mini_mew775]

OMG the yo mama comment slayed!

[@DiscoTimelordASD]

It all comes back to pie😂 The book version was quite good. Agree with your rating on the movie though.

[@ada76100]

This is one of my favorites movies 🍿

[@lalunadesangre1808]

Haven't seen this movie in.... decades!?!

[@minuette1752]

I need Late Night with the Devil from the king!!!! I know you are going to do it. :)

[@Lex-up6mg]

omg i love this weird movie. Keri wohururis super hot in this like in Sliders. Please do some Sliders reviews. Even though no one watches that show.

[@bigbearkat2010]

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong but wasn't the gypsy lady in the road to begin with because she got caught shoplifting from a pharmacy?

[@1vbAPiYk]

08:27 hammer time

[@bernd_das_brot6911]

1:07 BOOM roasted

[@LAMLKMHWC1]

2:32 😂😂😂

[@equusquaggaquagga536]

No wonder Bethany Joy Lenz was the best teen actor on One Tree Hill

[@Nolongerbroken_50]

Dope ass movie period !!! One of my favorites of all time

[@randycunningham7318]

I love Thinner.

[@BIadesMan]

Brilliant video mate, I think your great pal,fuck the haters.👌

[@malureyes4583]

Good one 🤣😂😁

[@NYPD99STARR]

Giggity!! 😊

[@banefaqs8468]

F the haters. They're jealous. Don't let them get you down; they're jabronis.

[@lylanold490]

I actually liked this movie.

[@lauramills2398]

I love Stephen King books. But a majority of the time they don't make great movies

[@BenderBendingRodriguezz]

This guy got Fat Tony voice

[@tiffhus]

3.14

[@tenebrousoul9368]

I think you look handsome.

[@TimothyCollins]

People commented on your weight? For one, that's just mean. But for two... you aren't exactly morbidly obese or anything. You look pretty normal.

[@panosvrionis8548]

Good morning from Greece 😊😊 Hearing you say this at the beginning I had a mind-blowing idea 💡💡 Who potential bring you million subs 😊 Make another channel with body transformation 😎😎 Butter Bean did it.lost 100kg👍👍 Please think about it 😊

[@TroubleToby3040]

This movie is silly, AND it's one of King's weakest books. The book IS better than the movie only because the book isn't silly. Actually, the book is utterly humorless, which might be one of its problems. Need a movie version with good enough effects to not look silly.

[@bigbearkat2010]

Might be why the adaptation is so silly. On one hand, back in the 90s plastering King's name to a title was a good way to drum up interest (though the even campier TV miniseries' that kept popping up at the time probably diluted it somewhat) but the source material isn't quite good enough to stand on it's own so at least the audience can get SOME enjoyment out of it.

[@bobdobbs420]

My God you've got old.

[@codygrizzard2354]

You are a MASSIVE nerd.....pi? You are also awesome-possum. Don't stop the nerdness.

[@theJACK__]

you WHAT like a rabbit??

[@nightshadeshadowlilly6095]

Future reference. It's pronounced Romney. I have some in my family, 🫣 and they're very touchy about it. Also, I love this channel!!!!❤

[@Troyissexy]
