Elizabeth Banks - Nice Job
This is a dark comedy, better than Renfield, catching dark wit and gore much better. I didnt really care for Keri Russell casted as mom, lacked emotion and complexity. The character actor, Margo Martindale, the Park Ranger, always does a great job.
Having seen Elizabeth Banks interviewed, she's playful and can go out of the box, and I got the vibe that the movie reflected her personality. Not necessarily a great movie, but it was a fun romp for a get-away. Fun date movie...with a woman director just enough bait to convince a girlfriend it's a chick flick date movie and then have fun with it afterwards.
Looking forward to more from Elizabeth Banks.

*Cocaine bear :)
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.

....an apex predator high on cocaine, it's a riot.
A bear gets hooked on cocaine, everyone wants the stash, Police, criminals, teenage gangsters, but none want it more badly than the bear.
I almost gave up fifteen minutes in, as I thought it was a straight up apex predator movie, it kind of is, but it's a cocaine bear comedy. Once you realise what you're in for, I urge you to stick with it, as it is genuinely hilarious, it's so funny.
It's amazing to believe that the story is actually inspired by actual, real life events, people's personalities change on drugs, why shouldn't a bear's?
I think the bear looks pretty good to be honest, the ambulance scene looked great, talk about crazy.
Don't expect brilliance, it's too zany for that, but it is a lot of fun.
7/10.

Not great but big fun!
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.

Gotta watch with the right mindset
If you're going to watch this and expect a cinematic masterpiece, you'll probably be disappointed. But if you go expecting to see a funny comedy with lots of people getting mauled by a cocaine crazed apex predator, then you'll have a blast!
Cocaine Bear surprisingly has lots of emotions in it, and a nice storyline, including about 6 different side stories all meshing into one. And it does so pretty fluidly and organically.
The acting by everyone is great according to their character type, and you end up kinda liking 90% of the characters and hating the ones you're supposed to, hoping they get mauled and devoured.
Elizabeth Banks definitely did a good job with this movie, and I am excited to see it again soon!

- 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.
