Bigfoot

A REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY BIGFOOT!
Just when you thought the SyFy Channel couldn't lay a bigger egg than JERSEY SHORE SHARK ATTACK or PIRANHACONDA, we get BIGFOOT.
First off, the creature is more like King Kong and the effects are outlandishly hilarious, especially when he is running. The climax on Mount Rushmore is side-splittingly funny. The battle between the construction company and the animal rights group is cliche-heavy. Notice that all the activists (except Williams) are females. Also you will howl in agony as Bigfoot bites heads off like he's eating a snowcone or kicking them around like an NFL punter!
Obviously, this is meant to be a comedy. Why else would Alice Cooper allow himself to be "the extra point" for the irritated monster? And how can anyone take Danny Bonaduce and Barry Williams seriously? Director Bruce Davison also plays the sheriff while TWIN PEAKS siren Sherilyn Fenn is now a doughy-faced detective. Both wear goofy ear-flapped hats in an apparent homage to FARGO. Add Howard...

Greg Brady vs Danny Partridge vs Bigfoot
I may be The Asylum's biggest fan, but even I cannot defend this film. Apparently believing that untold TV fans have spent years desperately longing for Danny Bonaduce and Barry Williams to have a go at one another (and yet somehow missed their Celebrity Boxing match a few years back), The Asylum threw together a quick script, hired some of the worst special effects guys in the business, and called it Bigfoot. The big guy doesn't have much going for him here (besides a nasty case of sudden-onset eczema on his head and a tendency to grow and shrink by tens of feet from one scene to another), but I will say this for Bigfoot. He's pissed off. This ain't your typical Bigfoot, hiding out in the wilderness and roaring or throwing rocks at any human who manages to get close to him. This Bigfoot is constantly out in the open, stomping people, ripping people in two, snapping the heads off of unfortunate human victims, taking out really stupid people in helicopters, you name it. If he...

Brady Bunch vs The Patridge Family!
If you're an old geeeezer like ME, and you actually REMEMBER those two TV series [titler mention] that didn't quite match-up...
and I'm NOT just talking about how small the TWO houses were on the outside, yet SPACIOUS on the inside...hmmm?
Well, anyway. This is NOT a good Sci Fi movie, but BEING a syfy sci fi movie, it is GREAT, thus taking a point off for BEING a
bad movie, and adding a point for being a bad movie gives it TWO fingers UP on both hands, rounding out to FOUR stars.

Most amazing part to ME was we have never actually FOUND a Big Foot... because we've been looking for a seven-footer: he's 50',
and destructive because he cannot find a mate that -- excuse me -- MEASURES UP!

I've seen BETTER, I'll see worse -- WORTH what I paid for it, and the 5.1 surround sound was, er, uh, SURROUNDING!
