    Hilarious comedy that's enjoyable for all ages

    I saw this film at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan, and it was my favorite film of the festival.

    Directed by talented newcomer Tim Skousen, the film follows teen Gavin Gore (wonderfully played by Peter Pan's Jeremy Sumpter) and his three friends after they discover some Bigfoot tracks (and dumplings) in the forest. The fantasy-loving group decides to tell the police and media about it to see if the tracks actually belong to the Sasquatch. Meanwhile, as this is taking place, Gavin's neighbors, patriotic redneck Zerk Wilder and corndog loving Shirts (brilliantly played by Dodgeball's Justin Long and Cabin Fever's Joey Kern) get into some trouble. Zerk will lose his Pontiac Firebird to creditors if he doesn't pay for his credit bills. They decide to use the Sasquatch finding as a way to save the precious car. The two story lines cleverly intertwine and result in many hilarious scenes.

    I loved the way the film was written. It's told in a comic book style, with different chapter titles and some of the same scenes from previous chapters appearing in later chapters, just from a different point of view.

    I was laughing the whole way through this film. It was produced by the Napoleon Dynamite team and some of the touches from that film can be seen in this. But whether you loved Napoleon Dynamite or hated it, don't let that be the judge of whether you want to see this movie or not. This movie has its own clever and charming characteristics. The characters are all entertaining, the dialogue is hysterical, and it's clear that everyone working on the movie had a great time.

    Director Tim Skousen, producers Mark Kassen and Jeremy Coon, and stars Justin Long and Joey Kern were all at the festival to promote the movie and tell stories about the making of it. I talked with them and got to ask some questions about the film and I must say, they were so nice and funny, I wish them all the best with this film and their future projects.

    See this film then spread the word.

    Sasquatch Silliness

    I saw this at the Florida Film Festival- loved it! Loved the comic book feel and it was campy! Very original! It's nice to see something never done before. A very good parody on tabloid Bigfoot findings! The rednecks were my favorite- those actors played it to the hilt. If you get the chance to see it- go! Great performances! Especially by Jeremy Sumpter. Pleased to see Kevin Spacey's name in the credits. Lots of surprises! Gonna be a cult hit. It's gonna be up there in the company of Rocky HorrorPicture Show or Porky's- It is a definite group of friends night out. If you enjoyed Napolean Dynamite- you will enjoy this one.

    Certain likeable charm with intriguing storytelling

    Having been compared to Napoleon Dynamite for obvious reasons, with similar people having worked on both films. However this film isn't exactly on the level of Napoleon and isn't quite the same. The comedy tone with its silly, dumb deadpan quirky nerd-like characters are obviously enough to draw comparisons. As well as the acting style of everyone seemingly acting clueless and oblivious. There are some touching heartfelt moments to be had and some moments which may seem nostalgic due to the teenagers and there whereabouts.

    The storytelling was actually quite compelling, being told in somewhat of a non linear fashion with title cards showing the chapters before each major new instance. The comedy is certainly for an acquired and specific audience of films in that regard, however did not find anything quite humorous. Justin Long and his sidekick friend have some silly moments for comedic purposes but nothing is laugh out loud funny. In the end, there is a likeable charm in a silly way with the lead characters where we want to see them succeed.

    A nice surprise at Slamdance

    I went into this film with little knowledge of its plot beyond what IMDb and the Slamdance Film Festival published (at the time of this writing, there isn't a trailer or even a poster!).

    That being said, I found myself starting to laugh at the very opening sequence, where the three geeks "prepare to do battle." The moment that won me over was when Gavin (played by Jeremy Sumpter) went over to a little portable CD boom-box to play some medieval music to set the "proper scene" for the battle! From then on, I sat back, relaxed, and enjoyed a pleasant comedy that was well-written, directed, edited, and acted (definitely a breakout performance by Sumpter as well as Hubbel Palmer as his sidekick).

    Judging from the sustained laughter from the audience, I wasn't alone in my admiration for this independent film.

    Rewatchable

    I've seen this movie at least 10-15 times over the last 13 years and there's not many movies that I can do that with. It's extremely quotable, my siblings and I reference it all of the time. So many one liners and hilarious scenes. If you loved Napoleon Dynamite or Nach Libre, you will love this.
