Featured reviews
Not a bad, entertaining movie, there are funny moments in their situation. But like any game movie for one time viewing. I liked the acting and the way their characters behave in unusual situations.
I will definitely purchase this film for my collection, and if necessary, I will revise the scenes I am interested in as soon as it comes out in quality.
I want to praise the young actors who showed their performance at the height, I would also mention actresses, including those little-known in this feature film.
In general, I have a pleasant feeling from this movie, and I would recommend this film to all my friends who like the horror genre with elements of black comedy.

First, I really enjoyed the movie even it's flaws. I expected less from the first half of the movie. So it was great entertaining.
Second, the second half is extremly weird and predictable. Even the overused CGI almost ruined any credibility of the supposed "based on a real story".
Third, overall, the movie is funny, goofy, crazy, dumb and forgettable, just because the plot. A bear sniffing cocaine the whole movie.
Last, I am not going to spoil anything saying the premise was crazier than the execution, because the really weak script. It could have been a masterpiece, but instead you got an over the average gory crazy bear feast.
To add, this was the last Ray Liota's movie, so respect for him.

This film is exactly what you think it is. It's a bear on cocaine going crazy in the woods. That doesn't mean it's not good. It's actually surprisingly good.
It's such a good thriller. You're on the edge of your seat for most of it and when you're not on the edge of your seat, you're laughing your ass off.
The cast is actually very unrelated. Keri Russell is phenomenal. Alden Ehrenreich And O'Shea Jackson Jr (Ice Cube's son) are great together and have great chemistry.
The production value is so so it is definitely not a super high budget film. But it doesn't look bad. The editing as well done especially during the action scenes and the CGI is actually pretty good.

Come for the "Cocaine" ...stay for the "Bear." I am certain this will be a HUGE hit. They may already be working on sequels. Allow me to suggest:
The title pretty much tells you what kind of movie to expect and delivers as promised. If you expect too much ...then you may be disappointed, but I don't think anyone who is going to see this film is expecting an Oscar-worthy meaningful masterpiece. Yeah, I guess the movie could have been better (definitely not a 10-star film), but compared to other things in this category; I think it's above average and effort was made to produce something entertaining.
I predict the "Cocaine Bear" films will become quite a successful franchise. I'm actually kicking myself right now and thinking: "Why didn't I come up with this first?!"
- Cocaine Bear 2: Mushroom Bear (Trippin' on psilocybin)
- Cocaine Bear 3: Molly Bear (Luvs everybody)
- Cocaine Bear 4: Cannabis Bear (Uncontrollable munchies)
- Cocaine Bear 5: Viagra Bear (self-explanatory)

This may not be a great movie, it doesn't even qualify as a good movie, but it's the most fun I've had in years! There's no character development, the gore looks very fake, and so does the computer animated bear. But it's set in the 1980s and that alone makes it worth watching. And the fact that this movie obviously doesn't take itself too seriously makes it a lot of fun to watch.
Kudos to Elizabeth Banks who directed it. She's always been a fun actress and that attitude of hers comes back in this movie. If you haven't seen it, go watch it! It will be a funny waste of your valuable time! Highly recommended for when you have nothing better to do.

- TriviaInspired in part by a true event in 1985 when a corrupt Kentucky cop and lawyer-turned-drug smuggler, Andrew Thornton, flew in a smuggling run, dumping packages of cocaine over Georgia before attempting to escape with nearly 80 pounds of it strapped to his body. However, the parachute malfunctioned (possibly from the extra weight), and Thornton fell to his death in a Knoxville, Tennessee, resident's driveway. 40 kilos of the thrown packages landed in a national forest and were consumed by a black bear who overdosed most likely within minutes, dying from cerebral hemorrhaging and respiratory and heart failure, after eating $20 million worth. With the lone exceptions of Thornton and the bear, no other casualties have ever been reported.
- GoofsIn the opening scene, Hanna Hoekstra playing (Elsa) calls her fiancé "Kristofer" instead of Olaf. Olaf is the character's name; Kristofer is the actor who plays him.

Bear: ROWR!
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: There are two mid-credits scenes. The first one shows Kid escaping the massacre with one of the bags of cocaine and hitching a ride to New York. The second one shows Eddie and Daveed return to Eddie's son with Bob's dog.
