Bigfoot Famous

This took me completely by surprise, I thought it was another cheap, lashed together pop-tart film but it really isn't. You might try and take a message away with you about the transparent riches, fakery and quest to be loved of todays social media circus but that's just a by-line of this film. The lunacy and brutality contained in such a basic story is fantastic, you really need to be awake because truly laugh out lines and moments are just tossed around without the usual build up to hammer the comedy home, which shows a real confidence very seldom seen. It's not often that I get totally immersed in such a simple film but the absurdity of the characters and lovable madness that unfolds had me grinning like a cat sleeping on a dog.

I know a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend who posted something about this a few months ago and had absolutely no expectations going in. Boy was I more than satisfied.

The guys behind Bad Weather films never disappoint and they certainly didn't here. Great characters, fun story, smart writing, unexpected twists and emotional hooks. The only thing I would've changed is the running time and made it longer.

Do yourselves a favor and buy this today because one view is simply not enough.

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.

Sometimes you just need to sit back and watch a funny silly movie and that's exactly what this movie was for me. Chaos and ridiculous humor in the best way. I read they made this at beginning of the pandemic for close to nothing in 8 days???? Pretty impressive. I honestly loved it, I was thoroughly entertained. I wish there were more films like this that didn't take themselves too seriously but that is hard to find now a days. So in conclusion, I loved this movie and I'm glad I bought it. Thank you!!!

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.
