There's precious little to laugh at in The Sasquatch Gang, a sad attempt to board the loser-nerd comedy bandwagon.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's unfortunate, then, that [Skousen] can't pick a protagonist
Most of the movie's villains are slack-jawed variations on Beavis and Butt-Head, but Kern's high-pitched dimwit steals the show. As his eyes glaze over, you can see a thought try to cross his face and give up halfway.
I'd say it must be seen to be believed, but really you ought to wait for TiVo on this one, so you can just skip to the good parts.
The Sasquatch Gang may not fully qualify as an undiscovered gem, but it's got some dynamite all its own.
