2nd Time’s the Charm… Sorta!
I never liked Napoleon Dynamite. I just mostly felt it was cheesy, tried too hard and to me was a failed attempt at Wes Anderson does white trash. And I’m not saying this after some colossal let down after months of people quoting it, acting out scenes and hyping it. I actually got to see it at a screening before it saw wide release. My hate is reeeaaalll!!!!
The Sasquatch Gang however is basically everything everyone thought Napoleon Dynamite was… but wasn’t. I just rented this on a whim and I’m only mentioning Napoleon Dynamite because the studio that is distributing this movie slapped a huge “From the people who brought you Napoleon Dynamite” Tag on the box. Tim Skousen, who wrote and directed The Sasquatch Gang was like a second unit production dude on Napoleon Dynamite and John Heder has a 15 second cameo. Way to stretch the truth there!
This is a totally good late-night comedy, especially if you’re into the Mac Guy, I’m Looking at you Drew Barrymore! And more so if you’re into LARPing, I’m looking at you Prolly!
