Review of The Sasquatch Gang (2006) by Mike M — 23 Apr 2008

This delightfully offbeat story concerns a group of teenaged fantasy-obsessed outcasts who spend their time sparring with giant foam weapons and watching "Clash of the Titans" and "The Crow". When the main character's neighbor, Zerk (Justin Long, in what may be his best role yet as the quintessential 'townie') needs money to pay off a credit card he used 6 years ago for $5.17 and never paid back, he decides to stage a Bigfoot sighting, complete with a giant "Sasquatch Dumpling". When the outcasts stumble (literally) upon the spoor, they alert the media and suffer the effects of jealousy and first loves. Don't expect a lot of depth or even plot, but do expect enough unusual characters and one-liners to keep you entertained. Joey Kern is quite good as the character, Shirts, who is a dead ringer for Mike from "American Movie".

"Seriously? You're havin' nuggets tonight?".
