 Well, it's a movie. Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for Cocaine Bear. I'll be honest, I didn't really have much of a want to see this movie. It looked kind of just like a strange silly slasher horror movie, but my buddy wanted to go see it, so fuck. You know what, let's give it a go. I actually laughed quite a bit. This movie, to say it's a movie, is actually a very good description. There's nothing too centrally unique about it other than the fact that there is a bear that has on Cocaine and is killing people in a pretty brutal way. Nice little uptake, admittedly, for Elizabeth Banks, who is still kind of walking off the absolute disaster that was the Charlie's Angels remake, not only from the film itself, but also how she didn't exactly handle the bad parts of the movie well. My real plea is for men to have enough empathy to go see movies starring women, because I've been asked to go see movies starring men my entire life. And happily have done so, and I don't know why men don't return the fucking favor. Wow. Kind of put herself into a little bit of a PR nightmare. From what I've gathered, she is trying to make up for on. She made a competent movie here. This film follows a bunch of people who just so happen to be in the forest all at the same time, all of their own individual stories, all of their own individual things that are happening in the film. And it all correlates to a dumb ass drug smuggler who threw a bunch of bags of cocaine out of an airplane and then decided to jump out himself, but his shoot didn't go off, so he crashed and died. But there are these bags that are littered throughout this forest, most of which are found by a single bear. Now the actual story, if you want to look it up, is this bear basically did a huffle of cocaine and then died of a heart attack a couple or so ever many hours later. To the point where I think they did some taxidermy and they put him into a museum of some sort, so it's just kind of comedic that they start the movie with based on true events and then there are quotes about what to do when being attacked by a black bear with the source being Wikipedia. I think that's a little bit of a tongue-in-cheek joke and I'll give her that. I think everyone in this film is competent. Everyone from Ice Cube's son to Han Solo, who looks like he's so depressed in this movie that he's still probably walking off what happened to him after the release of Solo, got Carrie Russell looking for her kid. We also have Ray Liotta. This is one of his last films. In fact, I think it is his last one. They have a dedication to him at the end of the film. And honestly, there's just some funny bits. I think it's just a collection of different funny little skit ideas that just so happened to correlate to this bear. Once the bear starts, that's when the funny stuff really starts getting. There are these weird little interactions like Ice Cube's son has this fight with these punks and there is kind of a funny fight there. There is this relationship between him and Solo, where Solo is still dealing with the loss of his wife and then you've got Carrie Russell trying to find her kid with the other kid that was hanging out with her daughter. Overall, though, this is very much a rinse and dump. You will watch this once. It will go in your ear and it will come out the other side and that's it. That's probably one of the better things that Banks could ask for. It's a funny movie. There actually were some decent scary bits, actually. Some good jump scare bits. Maybe a little bit over the top in certain areas. Like, there are very literal scenes in this movie where this bear is invisible and it's just getting around people or it's got ninja abilities. There are moments where it can be quite terrifying, even if the CGI is definitely at least 10 years old. Not a kind of a sway on the movie. Probably didn't have that big of a budget. So the fact that it looks as good as it does in a lot of scenes is pretty decent, but there is one bit where a character is underneath the bear. And you can see that it is very much cropped over. It's got a really awkward shadow, kind of like the awkward shadow that Harry Potter has when he puts the sorting hat on in the first film. That strange, abstract shadow that's on the bridge of his forehead that's underneath the hat, that kind of is it. And that's a technique that was used back in 2001. But I'm not going to fault it for that. All I will say is if you want to have a fun time with your friends, go and watch it. Don't watch this by yourself. It's not going to be fun watching it by yourself. It's definitely a movie that is meant to be enjoyed with buddies. There's no real definition to this movie. It is just a movie. And if you watch it with your buddies, you probably will have a decent laugh. So in the end, my final rating for a cocaine bear is a three out of seven. Now, the one thing you might have to deal with is the audience might be a bit disrespectful in terms of theater etiquette. I don't know if that's just a thing that's happening all the time now. But this movie was one that I think I could let it go because of just the generality of the movie. But my God, people would not shut the fuck up in that theater. That's all for me. What did you guys think? Have you guys seen this movie yet? Is it a movie as well? Do you find it to be a movie movie? Anyways, guys, I hope you're doing well.
