Pottersville (2017): A Quirky Christmas Comedy with Heart

Pottersville is a 2017 American Christmas comedy film directed by Seth Henrikson and penned by Liam Stahl. This offbeat holiday tale brings a unique twist to the festive season with its mix of small-town charm and hilarious misunderstandings. The film features a stellar cast, including Michael Shannon, Judy Greer, Thomas Lennon, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, and Ian McShane, and was released on November 10, 2017, by Echo Bridge.

Plot Overview

Set during Christmastime in the struggling small town of Pottersville, the film follows Maynard Grieger, a kind-hearted general store owner whose life takes a surprising turn. After an awkward encounter at home where he discovers his wife Connie’s unconventional interests (furries, to be exact) and her involvement with the local sheriff, Jack, Maynard finds himself heartbroken and seeking solace.

A drunken escapade leads Maynard to don a gorilla costume, unintentionally creating a local sensation when the townspeople mistake him for Bigfoot. What starts as an innocent prank evolves into a lifeline for the struggling town, as the mythical sighting attracts media attention and curious tourists.

The Bigfoot Hype

The arrival of Brock Masterson, a flamboyant monster-hunting reality TV host, further fuels the Bigfoot mania. Despite his skepticism, Brock plays along to boost his show's ratings. Meanwhile, Maynard continues his costumed escapades, trying to preserve the newfound prosperity his "Bigfoot" persona has brought to Pottersville.

However, things take a dangerous turn when local hunter Bart joins the search, and Maynard risks being exposed—or worse. The film builds to a hilarious climax when Brock captures Maynard in costume, only for the truth to come out in front of the entire town.

A Heartwarming Resolution

The revelation initially angers the townspeople, but Parker, Maynard's loyal store clerk, intervenes, showing them Maynard's selflessness and dedication to their community. This touching moment of forgiveness paves the way for a new beginning. The townspeople rally around Maynard, repaying their debts and helping him reopen the Pottersville Mill as a Bigfoot museum.

As a final twist, Maynard and Parker's budding romance blossoms, and the film ends on a humorous note with the possibility of a real Bigfoot lurking nearby.

Why You Should Watch Pottersville

Pottersville is a delightful blend of comedy, quirky characters, and holiday spirit. It showcases the resilience of small-town communities and the importance of forgiveness and second chances. Michael Shannon’s portrayal of Maynard brings warmth and depth to the story, while the ensemble cast adds plenty of humor and charm.

If you’re looking for a feel-good film with a unique premise to brighten your holiday season, Pottersville is a must-watch!
