    Bad watch, won't watch again, and can't recommend. I used to swear by Justin Long's presence in a movie, but I'll say this for him, he has really varied his portfolio, and it's not that he does a bad job, he just gets slotted for some really weird roles, and this is one of them. I was hoping for a great questing story about finding bigfoot, or just maybe a search for one, but instead we get this terrible mix of stories: "how do we make x money in y days", sasquatch hoax, bullies, and a really charming teen romance story that I wish was the main focus. There is just a lot of wasted time on things that don't matter when the story could easily have been so much more uplifting. It's literally so convoluted and disappointing that I don't even remember how it ends. I pretty much just checked out by the 3rd act.
