The Sasquatch Gang
An epic tale of nerds and turds.
When Gavin Gore and his three friends, Hobie, Maynard, and Sophie go for a hike up to Deer Cliff Falls, they discover some suspicious footprints and scat that they assume can only be from one source—Bigfoot. They quickly decide to alert police and the media of the find and start a small sensation in their town. Bullies make fun of Gavin and suggest the tracks are a hoax leading to a showdown that hinges on the authenticity of the footprints in the mud.
But even as Gavin and his friends seek to prove the validity of their own claims, their dimwitted neighbors Zerk (Justin Long) and Shirts are on a quest of their own to save their precious Pontiac Firebird from being repossessed by the bank. Zerk comes up with the idea that they should sell plaster casts made from the Bigfoot tracks online. All seems to be running smoothly until a self proclaimed Bigfoot expert comes to town to verify if the tracks are really from Bigfoot. Suddenly, the profitability of their operation is in jeopardy based on the diagnosis of Dr. Artimus Snodgrass, Sasquatch expert.
Is it a hoax? Will Zerk and Shirts save their precious car? Will Gavin get pummeled by bullies or will he be the victor and make out with the girl of his dreams? Find out for yourself in The Sasquatch Gang.

I really enjoyed this movie, the crazy characters interacting with each other in the way they do is hilarious. The time line is strange, it feels like early 80, but they have Internet? The music is great, and so it the acting. I like the down to earth feel of all the characters too. There is no gorgeous supermodel playing the female costar, she is sweet, insecure girl, who gains confidence by the end of the movie. I didn't recognise Justin long at first, but he is hilarious at Zerk, and his side kick shirts, who seems like he was dropped on his head one too many times as a baby, is endearing some how.
This is a fun, mindless ride. You may have to watch more than once to figure out the time sequence.Much better than I thought. - moviegenius
I'm glad that this film was not stupid and wasn't a gross out film. It was really funny, but very odd. It did have sort of a Napoleon Dynamite feel to it. Justin Long was very funny as Zerk, the really stupid neighbor from across the street and I liked the kids in it. Some parts of this movie were actually sweet, but then it would just become just weird. Fans of weird movies will like this film.A comedy for fans of Napoleon Dynamite - dsmileyguy
This is a very worthwhile flick for fans of Napoleon Dynamite. Most of the actors are unknowns which lends a realistic quality to the movie but the acting was uneven for the newbies. Justin Long and Joey Kern (Cabin Fever, Grind) steal the show as the neighbours with a get-rich-quick scheme. The writer/director captures a lot of the quirkiness of Napoleon Dynamite but goes a step further with giving the story a heart. There were some outstanding laugh-out-loud moments, some great cameos (including Jon Heyder of Napoleon Dynamite), and a solid message about friendship & self confidence. This one is definitely worth a look.
