I prefer Bobo to Bubba

If you like turkey movies, ultra-independent films or off-off-off Hollywood productions, you will probably love "The Long Way Home: A Bigfoot Story". If you are more partial to normal entertainment, you probably won't...

A successful reporter living in Miami returns to his home county in backwoods North Carolina to investigate Bigfoot sightings. The creature is scarier than usual, stealing chicken, attacking people with the intention of feasting on their fresh carcasses, even sexually assaulting females (of our species, presumably). At first, it seems that the Bigfoot sightings are hoaxes perpetrated by a group of locals, but then it turns out that their gorilla suit was destroyed weeks earlier... Ooops! Brace yourself for some further plot twists. I didn't know they had gay bars in the Tar Heel State, LOL.

But no, it's not a good movie. Not really. All the actors are amateurs from the area where the film was shot, the director and the lead actor are the same person (Bubba Cromer), the dialogue is lousy, and the dancing transvestite doesn't look very convincing either. Even the low-budget classic "The Legend of Boggy Creek" feels far above this production. A long way home indeed! I'm surprised they actually showed this on UFOTV, but then, maybe they are running out of James Fox documentaries?

"The Long Way Home" is really only worth one star, but since *somebody* with a penchant for turkeys or a strange sense of humour might actually find it funny, I'm willing to give it two for the effort. Personally, though, I prefer Bobo to Bubba...
