Strike one, terrible acting. Strike two, nothing, and I mean nothing happens till the final 15 minutes. Strike three, and worst of all, at least try to make it look like it isn't a cheaply made suit. Terrible.....

A Labor of Love

Yes, this is a labor of love, and the fact that the lead characters are in love is made laboriously clear through sappy ballads and love songs that play constantly for the first 15 or 20 minutes of the movie. We're treated to ordering Egg McMuffins at the drive-thru of the local McDonald's, and ATM withdrawals.
Our leads are a young couple, a husband and wife who are trying to start a family. They succeed, but then lose the baby in a car accident. Cue the mournful, sappy dirges that lament the loss of the baby in the same way that the sappy ballads and love songs at the beginning of the movie celebrated the love between husband and wife.
Now, by this point, there have been numerous mentions of Bigfoot and "Yeti country" in the background, via local news reports. Oh no! Will the wife be abducted by a Sasquatch at some point. I'm not quite sure why there are numerous references to "Yeti country" when the Yeti is a Himalyan cryptid, not an American mythical creature.
Back to our loving couple. In an effort to cheer his wife up, hubby suggests a change of scenery, and scouts out scenic, rural locations to whisk her away to. We get loads of lovey-dovey chitchat and cutesie-pootsie murmurings and bouts of kiss face, just in case we may have forgotten that our featured couple are madly, deeply, and hopelessly in love. For some reason, we are treated to shots of hubby standing next to a Jeep Wrangler, and later a small plane. I suppose that this was done to suggest that hubby is a manly man and a rugged adventurer, even though he doesn't drive a Jeep Wrangler.
As they head off to their scenic wonderland, the soundtrack switches back to sappy lovesongs that you've never heard of, outside of this movie. We're also treated to more saccharine drivel between hubby and wifey. He's the sensitive giant, you see; big, strong, tugged, and manly, yet sensitive and sweet and doting towards his bride. She is the delicate flower, sensitive and loving and soft-spoken. These two make Ozzie and Harriet look Ozzie and Sharon Osborne. These two are endlessly devoted to one another, and they remind the viewer of this at every available turn and opportunity.
Now, hubby had supposedly researched this vacation retreat for his lady love, but when they arrive, they wander about aimlessly and can't find the place. He decides to walk her back to the car, and leaves her there while he tries to go and find the place that he researched. Of course, while he's away, Bigfoot shows up, beats the crap out of the wife, and absconds with her. Hubby somehow hears this and comes running to the rescue, but alas, he is too late. He grabs a handgun from the car, which looks like a Glock .45 or 10 mm semi-auto. With his trusty Glock and an ax, hubby goes off to rescue his bride. In the process, he runs into Bigfoot, which promptly beats the crap out of him. Undaunted and undeterred, he sets out anew to rescue his lady fair.
There's a second brouhaha with Bigfoot, but hubby is a virile, manly man, and does fairly well engaging in fisticuffs with the beast. It even hits him with a small tree, but he won't give up and fights back. The battle between man and Bigfoot is supposed to be reminscent of Arnold Schwarzenegger's battle with the alien creature in "Predator". Hubby is such a stud, and he is so much in love with his wife that he overpowers Bigfoot and kills it with an ax.
Hubby, wounded in battle, crawls valiantly to his wife, and she crawls to him, and if course, they are declaring their undying love along the way. They reach one another, and both pass out as the fingers of outstretched hands meet.
The movie then cuts to 14 years later, and we get more declarations of devotion and undying love. Cue the third round of sappy, syrupy ballads of affection eternal. Isn't this couple just the most darling thing?! And huzzah, they have a daughter who's as corny and sappy as her parents. Then the daughter regales her friends with the tale of her mighty sure overwhelming the great beast to rescue his lady love. This whole movie is an odd to what a manly man the hubby is, how he is literally the Olympian ideal, and what all men should aspire to be.
The daughter's friends don't believe her, and so she takes them into the woods to show them where her Beowulf/Gilgamesh/Hercules father slew the beast. Of course, there's another Bigfoot, and as the daughter cries out desperately,"Daddy! Daddy!", Beowulf/Gilgamesh/Hercules/hubby/daddy takes up his trusty ax and dashes into the woods. The End. You don't see another epic battle. You don't know if Beowulf/Gilgamesh/Hercules/hubby/daddy actually rescues her. All that you know is that he's the very stuff of heroes, damn it, and he'll die trying!
The Bigfoot/creature effects are pathetic. The Sasquatch looks like a man in a fur coat with a Halloween mask on. Do yourself a favor and pass on this dreck.

Well, I won't give you a bad rating for the man loving his wife. But I will
say that was a very powerful film, and one of the best endings I have seen this year. Great quality and battle scene. It was very good story build and made me
jump several times when the fun started. Everyone you can ignore the review for
a man actually loving his wife enough to fight for her! lol
