They Call Him Sasquatch (2003)
They say Bigfoot doesn't exist. But try telling that to a misguided group of explorers (including Garry Marshall and Warren Berlinger) who are determined to track down the mythical Sasquatch when he's spotted in Northern California. The stakes get even higher when a privacy-loving pop star with a penchant for exotic animals offers up an impressive cash prize. But will the competing hunters kill each other first?

Surprisingly incoherent and boring
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Before viewing this movie, know that is a low-budget goofy comedy without current big name comedy stars. Technically the sound was one of those turn-it-up, turn-it-down, turn-it-up movies. The sound track should NOT drown out the voices! The first few minutes drag without excitement and only a little humor. It picks up better later on. Yes, the humor is low-brow and slapstick. But some of it is done well.Neal McDonough has some good scenes and hams it up a bit, but not way too much. What can you say about Garry Marshall? He definitely adds to the movie. News: The beautiful and sexy Vené Arcoraci also does comedy! She's multi-talented. The implied love scene (sorry guys no nudity) with her and a grungy mountain man is down-right funny.Two good ol' boys hunters looking to bag a "Sis-kwitch" are reminiscent of Laurel and Hardy, Three Stooges, etc... at an amateur level, but still making you laugh. They had some good lines, and acted very well together. Good chemistry.(Did I mention Vené Arcoraci is beautiful and sexy and can also do comedy acting?)Randy McPherson made Phil Stuckling Sr. (the Dad) a character to love and laugh at. I wish I lived next to the Stuckings.Overall, it was a decent flick to watch as long as you KNOW you are looking for some good, mindless humor that you also know isn't a mainstream, big-budget classic.
this film is a lot of fun. the only reason why i can think that you may not like it, is because you don't give movies like this a chance, or because there isn't any SEX, nudity, vulgar language, special FX, explosions, fight scenes, or death in the first 5 minutes. Dave Venghaus did a great job with this picture. he makes you feel like your really out in the woods with these people. i also like the hand-held feel that it has. when you see that this crazy group of people, who have been put together by Garry Marshal's character, you have to always remember that they are all looking for the same thing...SASQUATCH! it's anything but boring! Neil does a great job with the picture, but he wouldn't have been able to do it without everyone else around him. they each bring something special to this film. my personal favorite is the hunting duo. i never laughed so hard. check out this film, you'll have a lot of fun, and maybe you too will believe in Yetti....
I had been tracking this movie for many years. I discovered it when it was in production and thought the premise was great... either they'd get it perfect or they'd flub it up big time. I never got to see it in any theater, and, after actually giving up on it, happened to stumble across it on Netflix.The movie is very low budget. There are several shots that are fuzzy focus, bad angles, and needed white balance. But they are few and mostly in the beginning of the film.That said, this movie is well worth the watching. It was very funny, and it kept me throughout. The acting is strong and humorous. It is really a shame this did not make it into a broader distribution. The production values are a little low, though, which may have done it in. In my mind, I went in with Lost Skeleton of Cadavra to compare it to.I would recommend anyone getting this movie. The comedy is really what pulls it through.
From the moment this movie kicked off, it spiraled into the atmosphere of the makings of the best movie I've ever seen on the small screen. Filled with excitement, humor, drama, and all the attributes of a wonderfully crafted film, this movie creeps second by second as the tension builds as the ever foreboding sasquatch comes closer to the zany cast and crew of this feature film. They Call him Sasquatch is the best movie to be released solely on DVD, never to bridge the gap into the silver screen stardom. The music in this movie just adds to the excitement and pleasure that this film has brought into my home. I enjoyed it, and so will you and your loved ones. Go out and order your own copy, for you will not find this on any shelf.Amazing Film, Amazing acting, movie for the ages.
