      David Elliott Copley News Service The Bear hawks the oldest line in sports films, telling us in various ways that Bryant was a "maker of men." We can believe it, and even admire it, because Busey brings out Bryant's courtly grace, his instinctual decency. Feb 22, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member This is one of the best football movies ever. I great look at the life of Coach Bear Bryant. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie really sucked but I had to give it a star just because of Coach Bryant. Hated Busey's fake southern accent. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I've never been all that much of a sports fan but I am a fan of sports movies and definately a fan of Gary Busey. The Bear is an important move that shouldn't be overlooked any longer. I hope that you are able to find a copy and watch Gary's presentation of the life of Coach Bear Bryant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
