Bear with Us

Bear With Us is a refreshing, farcical story about a marriage proposal that's meant to be a special, one-of-a-kind experience. And boy, is it -- but not in the way that's expected. The main character takes his beloved to a cabin in the woods, only to have friends tag along and a bear that's not leaving. In fact, this bear's not all that happy about the news. The story is funny, with lots of keep-em-guessing twists and turns and a bear that you find yourself rooting for. Great cast, funny script and beautiful cinematography. I've seen other films by William J. Stribling, and they all have a neat, quirky sense about them. I highly recommend this film!

Existence can be epitomized in an ecstasy like experience I felt watching the cocaine- high characters. William J Strobelight really shines in this movie. Lol 10/10 It was the most life changing movie experience ever and I highly recommend you see this to see the amazing bears in this film production.

Just to get it out of the way: this movie is full of so many plot holes that you couldn't fix it with all the duct tape in the world.

The whole film is over the top and extremely fast paced. It managed to pull it off pretty well, but this makes a small chunk of the jokes fall flat. An ongoing joke is about how stupid the plot actually is, which I enjoyed.

One thing that I found extremely funny was they built a bunch of call-back jokes. Not all of them were good, but a couple were and I think they did it very well mixing it in with their fast dialogue.

The best friend characters are both pretty great, and have a lot of enjoyable jokes throughout. The main character and side characters are hit or miss, but they all have their moments. The girlfriend character is constantly terrible, but I suppose that's the point.

The acting is fine all around, and the ending really escalates things in very funny ways.

The camera work and music are all good, and it being black & white didn't take anything away (it didn't add anything either, but maybe it was for the budget).

It's not 10*s like a lot of the other reviews say, but it is funny and pretty good!

But terrible directing, lighting and writing does. Look folks if you are 'trying' to be hip, clever, trendy and ironic that means you have already determined that you are not. So just stop.

This is a great use of 1.5 hours of your time. Watched it the first time not long ago without realizing what this was going to be and loved it. Showed it to four friends. They all loved it. Ran into some friends who had seen it on a whim. They had loved it. So I would basically recommend it to anyone at this point. It is definitely bizarre, totally fun, and very quotable.
