In brief:
When cocaine cargo is dropped by plane in a forest, a bear starts to change his diet and quickly becomes addicted. Loosely based on a real news story, this B-movie is an unpretentious but totally successful dark comedy with an offbeat and zany tone. It’s a quite funny adventure, rather gory at times, and totally wild, featuring an eclectic set of characters all equally out of their depth in their field, facing Mother Nature in overdose! An unexpected choice for her third directorial venture, this new film by Elizabeth Banks succeeds in achieving what it sets out to do in merely 90 minutes.
