It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

We picked up Little Bigfoot at a Winn-Dixie supermarket. I can't believe that the store would have the utter gall and contempt for its customers to place Little Bigfoot in the bargain DVD bin. From the initial shot of the sneering, eye-patch-wearing logger to the subtle POV shot of sawdust from a logger's chainsaw falling on the camera lens, the director unflinchingly inserts every known movie cliché, only to skewer it in the next utterly unique shot. Our group of reviewers discussed the merits of the film well into the night; I have not had such an enjoyable movie experience since MST3K was canceled.It is incomprehensible that a work of this magnitude should be followed by a sequel, but indeed Little Bigfoot II was released mere months later. Apparently the power of this one-two combination was too much for the producers, as we have not been treated to a third blockbuster installment.

too predictable and corny to work that is weakly written and obvious as well.i admire it's attempt to be a touching family film but it just does not work way too predictable for it's own good and weak romance to boot plus throw in the fact that most of the characters are weak and annoying and you got this weak flick. i just actually saw this on (TV) a while back and remember it well. It's watchable and decently made but it gets a bit too corny for my liking. The Acting is okay Ross Malinger does so so here annoyed me at times and liked him at other times he does okay. P.J Soles WHAT HAPPENED???????? she was great in Halloween and GORGEOUS but here ugly unconvincing and just plain horrid what happened girl?. Kenneth Tigar is okay here as the Bad guy but is kinda weak not that great. Kelly Packard delivers the best performance here she is GORGEOUS!! focused and does a great job way to go! Matt McCoy does well here but is a bit too goofy at times as the Sheriff and acts with his hair at other times Overall not really worth recommending as it is below average pass on this one folks *1/2 out of 5

Little Bigfoot is a small but warm tale of a family trip that turns into a quest to save a small creature from a certain fate. The characters are well thought-out and acted. The writing is clever and the director did a great job at telling the story with a stylish touch. This film proves that you don't need to have several million dollars to create a good film. This film really does have something everybody, not just kids. The film's antagonists aren't just some stick figure villains you see in so many movies. They are real people concerned with real problems and their motivations stem from this. The kids are real. They aren't precocious. They are just real kids. One of the highlights is pre-Baywatch Kelly Packard. She's a tremendously underrated actress. She's not only great to watch but her performance is wonderful.

Exactly as you'd expect. A youngster adopts a baby bigfoot, only to find himself in grave danger from a gang of bad old thugs determined to snatch his new friend. The same as many films before and since, which can't achieve its aspiration of matching Harry and the Hendersons - and that's saying something.
