Drawing Flies (1996)
Member Rating:  
Shot entirely in black and white and produced by the team of Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier, the duo behind Clerks (1994) and Mallrats (1995), this low-budget, independent Canadian production failed to stir up much excitement on the festival circuit. Co-writers, editors, and directors Matt Gissing and Malcolm Ingraham created the tale of a group of Generation X "slacker" types from the Great White North. Bored by their existence and running out of funds provided on the public dole, Ethan (Ethan Suplee), Meg (Renee Humphrey), Cassidy (Carmen Lee), Az (Jason Mewes), and Donner (Jason Lee) decide to repair to the forest in search of the legendary cryptozoological specimen known alternately as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. They're equally sure that they'll attain the peace of mind afforded by escaping society, but of course, their sabbatical is not quite what they expected. Joey Lauren Adams and Canadian comedian Bruce McDonald appear, as does Smith, in a cameo appearance as his recurring Silent Bob character. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Kevin M.

in the beginning of the movie it seemed like it was going to be a drug/partyer type movie but as it kept going it turned out to be a great movie with great performances by JAson Lee, Jason Mewes and Renee Humphrey. Whether you like Smith movies or not it is worth watching

I had never heard of this movie before finding it on Blockbuster when searching for other movies that Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes had done, being a huge fan of Kevin Smith's other movies. This movie is extremely weird, following a group of friends wandering through the woods. If you want to see Scott Mosier crying while wearing a diaper and a "surprise" ending, this is the movie for you. Good performances by Jason Lee and Jason Mewes makes the movie enjoyable, but it's nowhere near as good as the other Kevin Smith movies.
