The film stars Richard Tyson, Angie Everhart, Adam Racque, Nicole Badaan, and Kenyon Dudley.
He is in love with Madison, his high school's most popular cheerleader, but his best friend Leonard doesn't think he stands a chance.
While they are watching King Kong, Percy tells Madison about his encounters with the Sasquatch but she doesn't believe him and begins to have doubts about him.
As it spins over, the brothers escape and Cletis waves goodbye to Bigfoot, much to Devlin's annoyance.
Writing for DVD Talk, Justin Felix considered Bigfoot to be a " light-hearted comedy" but he was concerned that "the depiction of antagonists Cletis and Devlin certainly flirts with some ugly stereotypes of rural whites.They're uneducated, carry rifles, drive a pickup and live in a rundown shack".
He noted that they were referred to as 'rednecks' several times and was also troubled by" the economic class issue- Cletis and Devlin are clearly poor while the hero teenagers are blatantly wealthy".
"[2] Joly Herman at Common Sense Media found Bigfoot to be "Surprisingly good for a movie with B-list actors, this family film has some tender and laugh-out-loud moments."
Herman noted that "the earnestness with which Adam Raque's Percy approaches the monster is reminiscent of moments in E.T."
Herman praised the script and the "comic bumbling issued from the bad guys" and concluded that "Parents might enjoy watching this one as much as their kids do.
