Bigfoot Famous

source: Bigfoot Famous

I almost cut it off. I was online messing around soni let it play. Reminded me of the first time I saw Napoleon Dynamite. Painful to watch. Its not as good of course but its that ridiculous vibe.

Looking for something to watch after a hard days work, and I find Bigfoot Famous. Although I was very tired, this entertaining movie kept me interested and I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline. I have never watched a movie about Bigfoot before, but I'm glad to have found this one. Exactly what the doctor ordered, after a hard days work and wanting to just relax in front of a good flick!

Bigfoot Famous is like a melty grilled cheese sandwich oozing intelligent wit, drama, and a timely nod to the dark side of social media. The entire cast delivers perfectly timed improvised humor, easily becoming a citeable movie like Napolean Dynamite. Let's not forget the cinematography, simply stunning shots on the trek to find Bigfoot (or, as Marty would say, "Sasquatch"). Most of all, I found myself fully invested in the storyline rooting for Coley Withers and Marty Meltzer. Great movie, a must-see!

I feel like i wanted to like this movie and I feel that it could have worked though I have no idea how to make it work. Some have complained that every person being crazy and no non-crazies to play off of is one reason why it doesn't work but I feel like there has to be some movie out there that made that concept work. Mostly though it just wasn't funny enough. Without spoiling anything I made it until they got to the river at which point I realized I didn't really care about anything and stopped watching. I guess one issue is there is no one to care about. I certainly didn't care about Coley who I guess is the main character. Maybe it magically all comes together later. Honestly I wouldn't have started watching except the rating 7+ when I started. 2 days later it's down to 6.5 and falling.

I stumbled upon the 2021 movie "Bigfoot Famous" by random chance. This was a movie that I hadn't even heard about prior to watching it, so I wasn't sure what I was in for here. But I did assume that it was a comedy, given the movie's cover/poster. As it turned out then "Bigfoot Famous" from writers Steph Barkley, Chris Kleckner, Sam Milman and Peter Vass wasn't exactly top notch entertainment. Sure, this 2021 movie was watchable, but it was far from an outstanding movie experience, much less a particularly memorable one. I managed to sit through the entire story, though drifting off once or twice along the way, as the storyline and the narrative was just so horribly bland and mundane. And I can't really say that the storyline had much of any particular appeal to me. The acting in the movie was adequate, though this was by a cast of all unfamiliar faces. Now, that is usually something I enjoy in movies, but "Bigfoot Famous" just wasn't a great movie, so there was precious little to like here for me, as the movie fell short of providing me with a good time. Visually then "Bigfoot Famous" was nothing to write home about. There was a particular low budget feel permeating the movie, for better or worse. My rating of directors Sam Milman and Peter Vass' 2021 movie "Bigfoot Famous" lands on a mere three out of ten stars. I was expecting a comedy, but I didn't laugh once. In fact, the movie didn't even manage to put a smile on my lips.

Washed up vlogger Coley Nation (Steph Barkley) and her partner Jericho (Sam Milman) go on a quest for Bigfoot in an attempt to go viral. They go into the woods with two guides. The film is about what goes viral after that. It really has nothing to do with Bigfoot. The film is silly. The humor was at a low level, almost slapstick using ridiculous characters poorly played. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This film had some potential. Competent actors, decent cinematography and sound...but the thing that kills it, is that EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER IS A FRUITLOOP! I mean literally everyone, the main character is crazy, her 'boyfriend' is crazy, the man and wife whose house they visit are crazy, their daughter is crazy, the Bigfoot shop owner is crazy, his sister is crazy, the guide is crazy, the dude at the lake is crazy, it's just too much crazy for one film! Take Dumb and Dumber, the 2 leads are crazy, but the supporting cast are 'normal', so Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels bounce off them...and are hilarious by comparison. Now imagine a version of Dumb and Dumber, where EVERYONE is crazy like Lloyd and Harry - it's too much, right! I could only manage 40 minutes of this...it started to make me nauseous. Such a shame, as I wanted to finish...and enjoy this film.

When a viral video of Bigfoot emerges, a once-popular influencer goes on a mission to film a video with the creature and get famous again, which really seems like this should be something that really happens. An improvised film made in eight days and shot on location in the Redwoods and Los Angeles, this movie is all about getting likes and follows, no matter how close to ending your life you have to get. Made by creative duo Sam Milman and Peter Vass, there's a good chance that the like and submit buttons may not be the only thing that gets smashed. Here's to an entire gaggle of influencers trying to hunt down the Jersey Devil, White Thang, the Fouke Monster, Altamaha-ha, Sharlie, Champy, the Loveland Frogmen, Taku-He and the Beast of Bray Road.

Stop your digging, you've struck comedy gold with this movie. The team behind this movie really outdid themselves this time. From improv comedy to feeling the drama, this movie gives you all the feels and will have you laughing for days. Definitely a movie that will be added to my collection. Highly recommend watching this movie.
