David Noh Film Journal International Tired, unfunny bacholor party/revenge comedy. Sep 22, 2017 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Kern lines up the elements but doesn't launch the picture with enough invention, offering a tired broheim movie that's occasionally interrupted by strange behavior.

thomas l Four kinds of stupid, and then they meet the married fiancee. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member My husband and I watched this movie on Netflix. It was supposed to be a good comedy. We didn’t laugh at all. The story kept us interested enough, but ended up no where... I wouldn’t bother with this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/03/18 Full Review Audience Member Big Bear, a comedy that I can relate to! Sometimes we can all use the encouragement of our friends to face our fears and get the bear off of our chest. This film took me on a voyage of self-discovery when Joe (Joey Kern) has a late epiphany about the turmoil in his life. Thanks to his friends, booze and some unexpected help he has a remarkable breakthrough. Big Bear is a comically light-hearted film with a charismatic cast that reminds us of the best buds in our lives. I had a blast watching the four friends interact with each other, as they reminded me of myself and my own pack. Definitely would recommend this fun film! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I’ve never been to an IKEA but Joe (Joey Kern) acts like my friends that are obsessed with the store! It hilarious to see him rave about the place like it’s his new rebound. I recommend this movie to IKEA connoisseurs who enjoy a good laugh! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The comedy Big Bear was as refreshing as it was funny. Joey Kern did an outstanding job on his first directorial film. The comedy was a nice reminder of how easily unexpected friendships can form. When Joey Kern's character (Joe) and Pablo Schreiber's character (Dude) have a chat in the midst of nature, I was able to identify with Joe's struggle as he realized he was about to commit the same mistake as the Dude in his previous marriage. I was pleasantly surprised by how natural the conversation flowed, considering the Dude was digging his own grave shortly before. The nature scenery brought back reminders of how humble you have to be to admit your failures in life, but also pick up and keep living. Kern's film was a breath of fresh air after the storms that have recently rumbled past our lives. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member So bad I turned it off less than halfway through. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
