The whole thing is ridiculously entertaining. It is also inarguably ridiculous. Except when you suddenly realize it's actually not.

Bigfoot Famous is a clever excuse to have a love story, a crime mystery and a sharp commentary about the social media community all in one movie. A witty take on those who measure success based on likes, clicks and subscribers.

Rated: 7/10

You know what Bigfoot Famous aims to be from the very beginning. It's a comedy style that's far from being serious. But there's something here to see and it's not all jokes.

Things get off to a strong start with its lighthearted attacks against social media and influencers. As things get more serious, the movie becomes less fun.

Bigfoot Famous is one of those films not intended to be taken seriously. It is made just for the fun of it and is intended to be enjoyed in the same vein.

Rated: 5/10

The lighthearted jokes abruptly give way to darkness, and the filmmakers can't pull off the tonal shifts.

A very funny movie that had me laughing out loud alone. I knew where it was going but there were some fun turns along the way. Worth a watch.

Bigfoot Famous is like a melty grilled cheese sandwich oozing intelligent wit, drama, and a timely nod to the dark side of social media. The entire cast delivers perfectly timed improvised humor, easily becoming a citeable movie like Napolean Dynamite. Let's not forget the cinematography, simply stunning shots on the trek to find Bigfoot (or, as Marty would say, "Sasquatch"). Most of all, I found myself fully invested in the storyline rooting for Coley Withers and Marty Meltzer. Great movie, a must-see!

When a viral video of Bigfoot emerges, a once-popular influencer goes on a mission to film a video with the creature and get famous again, which really seems like this should be something that really happens. An improvised film made in eight days and shot on location in the Redwoods and Los Angeles, this movie is all about getting likes and follows, no matter how close to ending your life you have to get. Made by creative duo Sam Milman and Peter Vass, there's a good chance that the like and submit buttons may not be the only thing that gets smashed. Here's to an entire gaggle of influencers trying to hunt down the Jersey Devil, White Thang, the Fouke Monster, Altamaha-ha, Sharlie, Champy, the Loveland Frogmen, Taku-He and the Beast of Bray Road.
