    This isn't about Bigfoot. It's about a couple country bumpkins who do "research" on Bigfoot. They come off like a couple of crazies as they attempt to prove that the creature exists. The pictures that they say have Bigfoot in them are nothing more than foliage and stumps.
    It's... read more a little ridiculous that this documentary was even made as all it does is make these two men look pathetic.

    Dallas Gilbert and Wayne Burton, best friends from a dying former steel town in Ohio, are out to convince the world that Bigfoot exists. They have amassed a vast library of video footage and still photographs of proof (their website is highly trafficked) after years of venturing ... read moreinto the forest, day and night, to the capture shots of the legendary creature in its native habitat.

    Dallas is the gregarious of the dyad is a Reiki master who uses Sasquatch calls into the wild and claims to have a sheep's bone in his skull; some claim Dallas to be one of the world?s leading big foot researchers. Wayne is the repressed, emotional of the gang- a former high-school bully who currently works at a car wash and is living paycheck to paycheck.

    Seeking fame, fortune, and notoriety, Wayne and Dallas's friendship is tested when a nationally recognized high-profile California BF researcher makes a stop in their town. Director Jay Delaney's honest and often funny look at their lives, proves that Bigfoot certainly is alive and well in Wayne and Dallas' world.

In the once booming, now fading steel town of Portsmouth, Ohio, two friends share a talent for spotting the apelike creature most popularly known as Bigfoot. Full Review

Delaney [director] is clearly at pains to protect his subjects, and the sheer, doomed tenacity of belief against all odds takes the day. Full Review

The film has a lot of "information" about Bigfoot, but though Delaney would clearly like to believe in him, the film wisely focuses on something more emotionally tangible. Full Review

In the end, it probably doesn't matter if you think Not Your Typical Bigfoot Movie is in fact a documentary, because the film's psychoanalysis is dull and reductive. Full Review
