  This film's classic storyline of teenage fantasy role-players versus the redneck neighbors plays out like Napoleon Dynamite clashing with Joe Dirt's bucolic enemies. Throw in a group of younger bullies, a plot that revolves around a possible Sasquatch in the area, profits to be made over the validity of the Bigfoot "evidence,"?Carl Weathers steps in as Sasquatch expert, Dr. Snodgrass, to help resolve this matter?and you have all the ingredients for one hilarious movie. I viewed this seemingly teen-targeted movie on DVD. The excellent writing, acting, and composition of this film gels into a wonderful creation that had the entire theatre rolling in the aisles. If you can say "Sasquatch" without smiling, then you haven't seen this movie.

  One of the stupidest comedies I have ever seen! But I love it for what it is!

  The Sasquatch Dumpling Gang (2006): Starring Jeremy Sumpter, Justin Long, Joey Kern, Michael Mitchell, Addie Land, Jon Gries An indie movie that could almost be a sequel to "Napoleon Dynamite" (it even features Jon "Napoleon" Heder and Jon "Uncle Rico" Gries in it) only these nerds make Napoleon look like Billy Dee Williams. These are uber-nerds. NERDS in ALLCAPS because that's just how incredibly nerdy they are. These are nerds who have sword fights on their front lawn with giant foam rubber swords they made (whilst playing "Lord of the Rings"-type fairy music on a boombox in the background). Head nerd Gavin runs a bootleg video rental service out of his bedroom. Hobie is the big fat nerd (you always need at least one), and Maynard is the "small for his age" blonde kid that looks up to the bigger nerds. Their nerd world is populated by bullies. Bullies like "Zerk Wilde" (hilariously played by Justin Long), a mullet-headed whitetrash dumbbell and his friend, "Shirts" (who ironically, never wears a shirt). Another bully is Shane (Michael Mitchell). Shane is the prototypical bully who's never without his two stooge-like henchmen. One day, the NERDS find sasquatch tracks (and a giant sasquatch turd) while looking for arrow heads in the woods. Bully Shane tells Gavin he didn't find any Sasquatch tracks (or turd) and bets him his chinese throwing star for Gavin's video collection that he didn't. Meanwhile, Zerk owes $1400 to a credit card company ($5 of which came from a fastfood purchase he made in 1999, the other $1395 is in interest), so he tries to raise the money through several bone-headed schemes. All the characters interact in the final reel ("Pulp Fiction"-style, in fact, this movie is edited much like Pulp Fiction, all the scenes are out of order), and Carl Weathers even makes a special appearance as the Bigfoot expert, "Dr. Artimus Snodgrass". Besides the Carl Weathers cameo, this movie heavily features laser tag, dirt bikes and corndogs. This is quite an unusual, painfully funny movie (the pain coming from childhood memories of being an uber-nerd, i guess), and it might even go down as a cult classic one day. Just like Napoleon Dynamite.

  For being low budget you have to give this comedy some credit. They took personalities of everyday people and took them to the extreme, Justin Long with the best acting role and leading the way, for this movie to become great. It's halarious from start to end and it's genious how it all plays out. They done a great job with this one when they chose to show scenes, then kind of rewind and build up to why those scenes happend. It's hardly been done before and it makes this movie classic. Must watch for anyone who likes extreme comedy.

  This is not a great movie, not an awards contender, or really anything that should associated with any of those words. But I liked it. I liked the characters, despite their unattractive qualities. I liked the idea, which is original and not like anything you've seen in a movie before. I liked the comedy in it, and yes, it is in the manner of Napoleon Dynamite, but this is so much funnier than that. It's a small, little movie that is certain to get you laughing. So, please, do yourself a favor and watch this movie.

  Very unusual film. Not sure it lived up to its predecessor Napoleon Dynamite, but it had its funny moments. Justin Long was great in this film. He has proven that he can be great in a drama like He's Just Not That Into you, and then transcend into this half-bit comedy. The rest… More
  Very unusual film. Not sure it lived up to its predecessor Napoleon Dynamite, but it had its funny moments. Justin Long was great in this film. He has proven that he can be great in a drama like He's Just Not That Into you, and then transcend into this half-bit comedy. The rest of the cast was dull. The story lines were dull and unbelievable, and just did not carry the weight that Napoleon had. Worth the watch for Justin Long, otherwise do not expect much.

  A somewhat terrible clone of Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder even makes a cameo) but it made me laugh a few times.

  Surprisingly good for such an idiotic subject. It is amazing that one can find something amusing in a movie which tells the story of a shit (and it's not even an authentic one).

  Basically it's like a sandwich. With two meats. But instead of say Salame and Black Forest Ham, it has the Goonies and Napolean Dynamite. The bread is your choice, cause it's your adventure to have. And for sauce - Carl Weathers. The only thing that bugged me was the main… More
  Basically it's like a sandwich. With two meats. But instead of say Salame and Black Forest Ham, it has the Goonies and Napolean Dynamite. The bread is your choice, cause it's your adventure to have. And for sauce - Carl Weathers. The only thing that bugged me was the main kid did some actions and words that were kinda close to Napolean, and the Shirts character's voice was pretty close to Kip's, but still, this movie is just funny and fun and I really want to duel with medievel (sp?) weapons with these kids.
