4.0 out of 5 stars
'Cause they are fun to watch!,
By Aparthenogenesis (Southern California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie (DVD)
When I originally saw this movie, I thought it would be a spoof movie - a parody of Bigfoot films in the "Not Another ..." genre. I was half right. Not exactly compelling, it does showcase two "little" men who are self-identified as poor, and their shared obsession - nay ... DREAM ... to find Bigfoot and get their prayers answered.
The movie starts out on a dark note, which is again woven into the story to show one of the low-points of half of our dashing duo's 15 minutes of fame being used to <gasp> accuse him of perpetrating a hoax. Somehow, the quivering eyes reveal more about the character of the man, than the truth. Time to develop a story? Or the victim of poor preparation from a radio co-host, creating a glaring inaccuracy which the host noted and showed him to be a liar. Either way, the radio show host did the right thing. "Oh what a tangled web we weave ..." I loved when the radio-show crew showed up and they went out 'Bigfootin'" together. Sadly, our hero got blown off for being a "dreamer." Tough crowd out there; even tougher when the light burns dimly. Which begs the analogy of being 'chewed up and spit out,' even if it will seem a bit one-sided. In this documentary, I remain unconvinced in their sincerity. Not in their belief that Bigfoot is out there - but in them actually thinking that what they do is research. On that note, I found the video entertaining, and worth the time to watch two people cope with a cold, harsh - and hairy, world out there.

A friendship story, with realistic people.,
By Matt (Denver, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie (DVD)
I had no idea what to expect from this film. The title throws you off, but as soon as you start watching, you start to figure out what it really means. While the documentary backdrop may be a poor town where Bigfoot hunting is a means to an end... for Wayne and Dallas, it's what brought them together, and made them best friends.
It's hard to not get a lump in your throat while watching, as the rocky relationship plays out, but everything is so tastefully done that you have to commend the filmmaker, Jay Delaney. I rarely see documentaries worthy of high rating, but the realistic people portrayed here are much more interesting for me to watch than some person so OUT of the ordinary a doc is made about them.

A remarkable character study,
By
This review is from: Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie (DVD)
I had the opportunity to see a screening of this film earlier this year. As the title suggests, this documentary is far from ordinary. Two "researchers" search for Bigfoot and the American Dream. The film is less about Bigfoot and more about the drive of two individuals who have faced a lifetime of adversity. It is a sometimes dark, but ultimately humorous and hopeful portrayal of two people you are not likely to forget. This is exceptional work for a first-time filmmaker. It is a small film, but it doesn't feel limited. Even the original music is outstanding. I'm looking forward to getting the DVD to see more great moments that didn't make it into the final cut. Highly recommended.
