Crude, obvious, TEDious

Rating: 2/10 (11 August 2012)

If fart jokes and seeing a teddy bear getting stoned keep you entertained for an hour and a half, you'll love this film. I went with my son who loves Family Guy and he didn't find it funny either - never hear a cinema so quiet for a comedy! The basic premise is that a bear acts like a dysfunctional adult, compensating for his shortcomings by drinking, smoking dope, being promiscuous and swearing a lot. It didn't really provide a strong enough idea for a whole movie. There are also a lot of 'in jokes' about American TV people, films and Flash Gordon, mostly lost on us. I think the writers probably locked themselves in a room, got off their heads, found each other really entertaining and wrote it up as a script.
