Can you bear it?

Rating: 5/10 (20 August 2012)

You know the story, the erstwhile Marky Mark and his talking teddy. This is so bad it makes Mad Mel and his glove puppet look like Laurel and Hardy. It might have been better had the bear given a better voice, as is it sounds like one of those guys on TV selling cars from their own lot. Mark Wahlberg has come a long way but if he sticks to comedy he's not going to go much further. Let's just say is timing his awry, though it does help if the joke are funny. Mila Kunis looks lovely as his main squeeze but having appeared in the Robot Chicken TV series, she's in danger of getting typecast. Forget the bear angle, which you'll soon do anyway, and what you're left with is a crude, obnoxious jock in a film with no other narrative.
