Elusive

Laughed out loud multiple times. I laughed so hard that the people around me were laughing at me! Great film, the actors did a fantastic job as well as the crew.

The giggles won't stop coming. This cryptozoological mockumentary won't be what you expected in the best possible way! It is a fun, lighthearted comedy with an unlikely yet loveable duo. It's silly and also touching. Must watch!

This is a film that makes you squirm, then roll your eyes from the silliness, then wipe your eyes from laughter, then wipe your eyes from the sentiments. And there are some scary parts, too. I won't go into a rambling critic-like critique, but only because I don't know how to do that. I do know how to write this: I love this movie. I laughed, I choked back tears...no, that's not true. They wouldn't be choked back. I just boo-hoo'd like a dad. Every actor hit a tater (that's baseball talk for Home Run).

If you don't watch this movie, you're dumb. If you do watch it and don't laugh, cry and cringe at the corn, and say, "holy $h÷t" a coupla times well then you're just a moron with no sense of humor nor a heart. Them's just the facts. Boom boom, schwing schwing, peeuw, peeuw.

This movie certainly isn't for everyone, but if you end up connecting with it, even a little, you're going to fall head over heels in love.

It takes some big swings right out of the gate that could immediately put some people off (there's a psychedelic reenactment of a Bigfoot sex act within the first 10 minutes, and no I'm not kidding), so if your pearls are easily clutched, I can tell you right now this one's not for you. But for those who either enjoy or can make it past the surface-level absurdity, there's a genuinely heartfelt story waiting for you on the other side.

The seams of its low budget show every now and then, but nothing so massive it ruins the experience. It helps that this is a mockumentary (supposedly made by a single guy who, by his own admission, seems to have barely passed film school), so it's easier to forgive here than if it had been done more traditionally. Not every low-budget movie can be a mockumentary, obviously, but it clearly worked in this case as an example of filmmakers finding a creative way around, if not outright embracing, their limitations.

Overall, if you go in with an open mind that's ready to laugh (and maybe even cry), you'll be rewarded with a movie that is so much smarter, big-hearted, and crowd pleasing than you might expect.

Cult film is two words that seem to follow "Elusive" around much like the film's main characters and "Bigfoot".....and that's a totally appropriate description. I can completely see a niche group being all over this film, and yeah, it's probably only a matter of time til you start seeing midnight showings with fans dressing up as their favorite characters. Hyperbole? Possibly but time will tell for sure.

This is definitely a smart film, with tons of in-jokes and "Michael Scott"-style cringy moments. Be sure to look out for one character's short-sighted appreciation for the "Office" boss' pop culture reference. Give this title a try and then go watch the 70s stuff (which was ironically not ironic) that inspired it.
