4.0 out of 5 stars On the other side of town from Napoleon 18 Sep 2008
By Arheddis Varkenjaab TOP 500 REVIEWER
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
You can imagine the events of this film occurring on the other side of town as the events of 'Napoleon Dynamite' take place. The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang shares the same atmosphere as that film, with the same peculiar 'out-of-time' feel with it's mixing of '80s and '90s imagery and props, the same odd pronunciation of the word 'idiot', great characterisation and lots of quotable dialogue.

Other reviews will give you a synopsis so I'll skip that, but this is a fun film. It probably won't become an instant hit but it has, like Napoleon Dynamite, all the hallmarks of becoming a cult classic.

It's not all great though. The acting is a little ropey in places and the jumping about in time of the script doesn't work very well, and there are some painfully cheesy moments which you sense were aiming for ironic but ended up falling somewhere between the two. For all that though it is an enjoyable film, and I really liked it a lot. If you like Napoleon Dynamite you'll probably love this too, but if that film passed you by you'll probably want to skip this one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Bigfoot not big on laughs 26 Aug 2008
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang is a light-hearted teen comedy that promises more than it actually delivers. The film is cut into 7-8 sections that interlink a-la Pulp Fiction to give a simple explanation to what is a fairly simple story. Whilst this is an interesting take on the comedy genre I felt that it wasn't exploited to it's fullest potential. The main group of geeky kids aren't that geeky and the group of local Bullies don't particularly Bully. The characters that do excel are the lead character's stoner neighbours who are given most of the best lines and shine in what is a rather slow-paced affair. The appearance of legendary Carl Weathers as a rather fraudulant Sasquatch 'expert' does little to raise the bar. The film does shine in some areas, and as a light-weight yarn abou the legendary Bigfoot could be worth a cautious look.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some solid laughs 25 Aug 2008
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
I ordered this expecting an American Pie style gross-out teen comedy so I was surprised to find it was a kids movie. I guess it's aimed at young teenagers. It reminds me of the films Steven Spielberg used to Present/Executive Produce in the mid-eighties like "The Goonies" (especially the moment the lead character rents his videos to the other kids, which is a character quirk straight out of "Gremlins" or "The Goonies").

I plodded through the opening ten minutes with the intention of giving up. Then the film does a Quentin Tarantino style fractured timeline thing were we get the same scene from a different perspective. It hooked me in and I watched the whole movie. The jumpy timeline is fairly pointless, but I assume the story would be pretty flat and dull without the kick it gets from rearranging scenes for comic effect.

Justin Long is an excellent comic actor (see "Accepted" for his best film in a lead role) and he delivers another funny performance as a loser metalhead who needs to make some money fast or he'll lose his car to his bank. The worst performance is by Carl Weathers as a Big Foot expert. He hams it up way too far and just seems out of place with his terrible acting.

The film has a few good laughs and it was painless to watch. I suspect it might be a bit too boring, talky and adult for preteens, and then a bit too innocent for teenagers.

3.0 out of 5 stars don't get it
It's a fun DVD but I don't think I actually get it. It is funny but only if you enjoy deadpan black humour. Ok to watch but not much of a storyline.

...but not in a good way. It's not necessarily bad, but it isn't Napolean Dynamite, and so it shoots itself right in the groin by pretending to be more of the same. Read more
