He's determined to disprove his existence when he heads into the woods, and starts to interview witnesses. Much to Harlan's surprise, he finds that Bigfoot is no forest-dwelling menace, but a mischievous Sasquatch with a taste for beer, and a love of beautiful women. Unfortunately for the fun-loving creature, vengeful redneck Chester Scroggins and some villainous bounty hunters are more interested in capturing Bigfoot than sharing a brew with him. Now, with the clock ticking, Harlan enlists the aid of the local sheriff and a pretty television reporter in getting the story of a lifetime, and protecting the beast who only wants to party.

Review:
Thats this film in a nutshell, the first 40 minutes has some of the best young topless nudity America has to offer, and then there is a complete tonal shift from frolicking topless girls in the water running away from Bigfoot, to a search for the answers, as a sheriff, father & son hunters, a news reporter working for a publication of some sort, a TV reporter, and SPOILER ALERT, ANOTHER posse of hunters who eventually find Bigfoot.
After the movie spends time setting up the camping scenes of the wayward topless girls; they introduce these characters by starting from a youth detention center, then go from there, they set-up camp, build a fire, tell stories and go to bed. They share tents and one couple have a lesbian encounter that has some of the worst edited in moaning you will ever hear. They wake-up and go swimming, and except for the prude character, they get topless. Then they have a run in with the leering Bigfoot and run away. It edited where you see them run past the father & son hunter, which is the last you see of those girl and the 2 women watching them. The they throw in an overly long useless side story of a 4-wheeling redneck and his chubby gf who have camp out and also encounter w Bigfoot. There are multiple useless side scenes. There is a scene where a fat old woman and old wimpy man who are also camping are scared off by Bigfoot, it sets up a comedic scene of Bigfoot trying to get the cap off the bottle, while hes doing that 2 other random hot girls you never see again in the movie happen by and try to add more to make the scene as they point and wonder at what they are seeing. The scene isnt funny, and its introduces 4 more useless characters you never see again.
The acting is pretty bad through-out, the story meanders and introduces many characters who are not necessary. Take for instance the Father & Son hunting duo, good writing would have them find Bigfoot, instead at the end the earlier drunken posse finds him, in the end the characters had no point. This is repeated throughout the film, useless characters are introduced and then discarded. To much of this film is just a collection of scenes weakly tied together or not at all.
The story isnt the worst of this movies problems, the camera work is terrible, the directing is awful a lot of the acting is terrible as well. Lots of dialogue is cringe.
The movie is lazy too. There is a scene early on where the topless girls are running back to the campground, when they get their prude girl and the 2 other female characters are in the scene, the girls run into the scene, the one girl gets in position but the 2&3 girl dont, the #2 girl ends up stepping back and around girl #3 to get into position. Listen, if this was the 1980s and you were using EXPENSIVE, REAL film, Id understand not re-shooting the scene, but my goodness, its the digital age! How hard would it have been to cut scene, erase it and redo the scene, making sure this time the girls knew their positions?
This movie is the problem with low budget filmmaking in the 2000's, people are lazy and not proud of a good, final product. If IMDB gave half stars Id give it 2.5 for the comedic "twist" of an ending, but even it seems like padding for another character. The movie does take a fun, 80s sex comedy style look at a worn-out genre, and its done with lots of heart and its not completely boring.
However, the story is only one of its problems as its amatuer hour with the acting, the directing, camerawork, the editing, etc. Honestly, if this is the kind of film you're looking for there are worse low budget options to waste an hour and 25 minutes of your time.
