Blends classic elements of fantasy, teen-angst and coming-of-age tales to create a genre all its own. And through it all, the movie is undeniably wholesome.
Beautifully encapsulates the film's sensibility, a bizarre mix of reverse cool and childishness.

If you loved Napoleon Dynamite, you'll love this film, too. The film centers around a bunch of "lame kids", who love RPGs, believing that they've discovered Sasquatch. The film is relatable and funny. It's a slice of life and a coming of age tale. I recommend this film for anyone who enjoyed Napoleon Dynamite, and for anyone who was the bullied, and not The Bully, when they were young themselves.

The story of The Sasquatch Gang is the story of what might have been, if only the producers had gone for the R rating. This unique film tells the story of the days leading up to a major discovery in town, from four different point of view, each stranger than the last. You see, in the woods of this small town, large foot prints and an even larger turd have been found in the woods, meaning one thing, it can only be the legendary big foot! An expert will be brought in to confirm the find, but until then, life continues on normally, or as normally as it can for a town that is perpetually stuck in the late 80s. First of all I love how the film takes place in modern day, but everything from the town, to the hair styles, and even the households seem to be stuck in the 80s, it was an ingenious twist to the story. The Sasquatch Gang is brought to you from the minds behind Napoleon Dynamite, so of course there are unique characters, strange voices, and a cameo by Jon Heder, but what's missing is the raunchiness. Similar to Napoleon Dynamite, this film has a lot of bark, but just no bite, and in my opinion doesn't nearly go as far as it should. Jeremy Sumpter stars and he is one of my favorite young actors in Hollywood. For me, it was a real treat to see one of his earlier film and witness just how far he's come, however he's still doing mostly independent films, and I don't understand why. It's clear even from a movie like this, that he could be doing so much more. The bottom line, The Sasquatch Gang has some funny moments, a couple of really great characters, and a lot of potential, but it doesn't get beyond the cute/silly label.

Very much reminiscent of "Napoleon" in numerous ways only minus the wit, the film is made somewhat palatable by its inherent sweetness and its treatment of typical adolescent angst.
Gavin’s story is typical teen-faces-bullies-and-gets-girl hokum, while Zerk is like a Mike Judge cartoon character come to life, with a revelatory slapstick performance from the often straight-laced Long.
There’s precious little to laugh at in The Sasquatch Gang, a sad attempt to board the loser-nerd comedy bandwagon.
Some good ideas that don't fit together very well. Feels slow and herky-jerky but there's still some good laughs to be had.

Probably the least funny movie, the main characters or more specifically the nerds just made me angry. The plot was stupid, and not even Justin Long was funny in this movie.
