A group of fantasy loving teenage nerds stumble upon large footprints in the woods and believe that they have found evidence of a Sasquatch. After reporting their find to the police and the press, a renowned authority on Bigfoot comes to town to investigate. Meanwhile, a pair of white trash neighbours try to profit from the discovery.
From the guys that brought you Napolean Dynamite, and it shows, in the writing, the directing, and the acting. The Sasquatch Gang desperately wants to be Napolean Dynamite 2, so much so that it even features Dynamite actor Jon Gries, plus a cameo for Napolean himself, Jon Heder. The film tries so hard to replicate the Napolean Dynamite formula that it all proves rather irritating: blatantly copying a cult hit isn't clever, it's desperate. And is it just me, or do Zerk and Shirts (Justin Long and Joey Kern) behave a lot like Beavis and Butthead? I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that the animated duo was their inspiration.
Next time people, don't imitate... innovate!
