Bigfoot Famous

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.

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 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.

Rented this flick today on the recommendation of a friend and I really enjoyed it. I really can't stand the whole influencer culture and I thought this flick satirized the space very well. The cast is super strong and it's clear they all come from improv backgrounds as their performances were natural and the character development was well executed. Seeing how this film was an indie, the cinematography was impressive and the Redwood locations in particular looked beautiful. Tonal shift towards the end threw me for a loop, but the ending was perfect. Definitely worth the rental if you like dark comedies.

How could you not want to watch a comedy about "influencers" looking for Bigfoot to get more views, likes, and subscribes? The cast is incredible and there are a ton of hilarious characters throughout the movie. There are also a ton of little moments that are subtle and would make for a good rewatch, noticing something new each time. The production quality was on point with a great score and cinematography taking advantage of the Redwoods. I highly recommend watching this movie!
