A Bear Did Cocaine
I wanted a fun, silly, 95 minute movie about a bear on drugs. I wanted cheap laughs and tremendous violence. Cocaine Bear met my expectations with ease, and I couldn't be happier about it.
There are a few standout jokes and performances in the film, and Margo Martindale is spectacular as the worst park ranger in America.
The parts of the film where we are expected to feel some sort of emotion certainly fall a bit flat. However, if you're coming to Cocaine Bear for emotionally intelligent storytelling and moving character developments, I would suggest you take another look at the title and adjust your expectations accordingly.
This movie is certainly no masterpiece, but it doesn't have to be. Elizabeth Banks set out to make a movie about a bear doing cocaine, and that's exactly what we got. See you all next time for "Cocaine Bear 2: Crack at It Again"
