I did not see the original "Little Bigfoot" movie, but judging by the quality of this sequel, I am pretty sure I did not miss anything special. This is one terrible movie. Although there is credit for a screenwriter, it sure feels like they were making things up as they went along, because there's very little plot and a heck of a lot more padding. It is one SLOW movie, with so much simplistic dialogue and an extremely juvenile attitude that I think even kids will feel their intelligence is being insulted. As for the title character, Little Bigfoot is given no chance to show any real personality. In fact, he's almost an afterthought at times. Though that may have been because of the really crummy Bigfoot suit and stiff animatronic face we get to see when the character is up and center. The movie is decently shot with what had to be a low budget, but who goes to see a movie just for the photography?
... View MoreCut from the same stomach-knotting cheesecloth as the atrocious original, this irredeemably abominable "we all could have done without it" sequel baldly rehashes the first film, but in no way improves on it. In fact, it's duller, slower, talkier and cornier than the first one, almost a note-for-note secondhand remake with a poorly articulated anti-hunting message replacing the original's ham-fistedly rendered "protect the environment" subtext. An overworked neglectful and ineffectual insurance salesman single dad (a hoarse and haggard Stephen Furst; Flounder in "Animal House") takes his whiny son ("Home Improvement" 's Taran Noah Smith), repellently cutesy daughter ("Baywatch" 's Melody Clarke) and the son's overbearing friend ("Roseanne" 's Michael Fishman) on a camping trip in the Oregon wilderness. Naturally, the kids discover Little Bigfoot and protect the minuscule nipper from the nefarious clutches of an evil industrialist.Art Camacho's thuddingly leaden direction goes through the generic sappy'n'silly kiddie pic paces sans zest or finesse. Richard Preston, Jr.'s cookie cutter script lays on the cheap flatulence jokes, Bigfoot body odor gags, that old camping feature standby the scary story about the hook-handed maniac, and gushing sentiment with appalling thickness. Tom Bosley of "Happy Days" fame does one of his patented irritating cuddly old fuddy dud turns as a folksy sheriff. Idiotic touches abound, such as having the allegedly cagey and elusive Sasquatchs romping around the woods in broad daylight, thus making it easier for nasty humans to spot and hunt them! Jeffrey A. Cook's uncomfortably shaky cinematography, Jim Halfpenny's mechanically whimsical score, a few clunky slow motion vehicular stunts, and the faltering attempts at digging into Bigfoot's Native American folklore origins don't help matters any, either. The only useful purpose this otherwise worthless tripe serves is to establish one key component of 90's direct-to-video Sasquatch children's movie casts: washed-up has-been middle-aged actors co-star with budding up-and-coming rising adolescent sitcom veterans in these godforsaken turkeys. In short, "Little Bigfoot 2" ultimately rates as one big bust of a movie.
... View MoreLights, camera action! From the moment LBF2 (Little Big Foot 2) Journey Home started I knew I was in for the ride of my life! The cinematography was beyond me. For a second, Evelyn, my supposed fiancé, thought they were real Big Foots! Truth be known she lost that bet. Anyways, I have already recommended this film to all of my co-workers at the firm. Kudos to me. I guess you could say I first began loving these furry, lovable, down right comedic beasts after my Senior year at Wash. U when I dressed as one for Halloween. Needless to say, I was the riot that year. I won't recommend sleeping in it though in the bushes of your local middle school. Laugh riot alert! So if you haven't seen LBF2 and you are still reading this, go see it! And don't forget the popcorn!!!
... View MoreFrom the opening aerial shots you can see that you are in for a rapid rollercoaster ride. This sequel takes up where Little Bigfoot left off. This time a dysfunctional family led by Dad (Stephen Furst), goes to the wilderness to bond. His kids and their hilariously funny friend have other things in mind. The action scenes in the film are matched by the comedic touches the actors bring to their roles. The high paced action and comedy is tempered with real Native American concerns and this ads a touch of humanity to the film. One of the best things in the film is the Cast and Directing. They manage to breath life into an average script. This film is definitely worth seeing.
