What Would Bear Do?

About This Movie

So, 'What Would Bear Do?' is a quirky little gem from 2013 that dives into the world of adventure gone hilariously wrong. The film has this laid-back, almost goofy vibe, as you follow two slackers who think they can just waltz into the wilderness and impress their survival hero, Bear Grylls. It’s got that awkward comedy pacing, where things escalate through their sheer incompetence. The performances are pretty authentic, capturing that bro-y camaraderie mixed with overconfidence. And the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add to the charm rather than distract. It’s this odd blend of adventure and comedy that feels oddly relatable, especially if you’ve ever tried to prove yourself in a challenging situation. You get a sense of the struggle and absurdity when nature doesn't cooperate, which gives it a distinctive twist.

A lighthearted take on survival tropes. · The dynamics between the characters feel genuine. · The rural setting adds to the film's charm.
