The Country Bears

We saw this sort of by accident: there weren't any good seats left for SIGNS and we were determined we were going to see a movie. This was on at 5:15. this is what we saw.

It's funny, it doesn't take itself too seriously, and it's fun for the whole family. It's nice to see a movie where the writer and director make entertainment their top priority. It doesn't happen a lot these days.

This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Its got comedy, drama, a love story, and GREAT music. Not only have the Henson puppeteers made the most realistic bears(watch the mouths forming the words), but the suit performers bring them to life so fantastically that I forgot they were suits. The film features good family values, as Beary finds out "Its the people who love you no matter what, .. thats your family" This Disney film is for any one who has a family with kids, or anyone who is just a kid at heart. The DVD has some great extra features including an on stage concert. Forget the negative comments and give the bears a chance!

If your a musician your going to love this film.

Why? Because musically they have perfected every detail.

Every instrument, except the one string slide guitar are top of the line instruments a true musician would love to play.

Some I could pick out are as follows: Fender Stratocaster, Fender Precision Bass, Gibson J-200, and a resonator guitar, just to name a few.

And the stage sound setup is perfect with three wedge stage monitors in the front, not to mention an all star cameo line up.

First of all, you should have a certain appreciation for the original bears to like the Country Bears Movie. I thought what made this movie good was mostly the music. It was great. I loved the duel with Brian Setzer and Zeb Zoober(one of the bears). It rocks. Second of all, sure, it may be considered a kids movie, but the cameos that are in the movie are most likely not going to be recognized by the average child. There's also some good one liners in there. I just bought the DVD and have seen it already about 3 times. There is also a Mockumentary of the Country Bears that is just a crackup. I just hope that if Disney makes a sequel, it won't suck. Overall, it was a rousing, footstopping good time.

I don't know what people found wrong with this film. When I first saw the trailer, I didn't think much of it, but then I saw the DVD of it, and I loved it.

The music was good, and the story made sense (for a movie with talking bears) and considering it's based on a Disney Attractions that's been there since the beginning of Disney (or close) it's suprisingly fresh. Certain parts of the plot remind me of Blues Brothers (One of my Fav. movies) And that just added to it.

Don't listen to the people that bash this movie. Go see it and make ur own choice on it's worth.
