I read "comedy" about this "very bad movie" but it's too pathetic, too badly done too lame, that I think it's a drama and I've cried because I'm so sorry for people who make this dud !

This was a funny movie I would recommend it,watch it on an afternoon when you have nothing else to do,entertaining enough I enjoy it

Movie was a good pace. Funny and did have surprises even though it's obvious the journey with the main character is what makes the move great.

This is the movie I've been looking for all summer. Big bear is a indie film written and directed by Joey Kern, the main character of the movie. This fact is readily apparent do to the sharp directing and pacing of the movie. There aren't any real lull moments in Big Bear, it's just a jump from one drunken disaster to the next that the characters have to deal with which makes the movie endlessly entertaining from front to back. The fast pace of the film makes the 87 minute run time feel even shorter, after watching the movie, I was hungry for more of this gang of bros hi-jinks. The acting coming from Joey Kern is on point and jumps from sullen moments of self-pity to fist-shaking righteous fury. It shows the full scope of Joey's acting ability and he takes advantage of every single scene. Despite Joe's (the character) many faults, the audience can't help but to sympathize with his plight. I'd recommend this movie anyone looking to enjoy their afternoon with their friends. You won't regret it.

Joe's (Joey Kern) buddies are throwing him a bachelor party. Joe confesses his girlfriend dumped him for another guy which he confides he would like make dig his own grave. This is a film where I spent the whole time thinking how much better it would have been with James Franco, Woody Harrelson, Steve Buscemi, or John Goodman. While the production had a few laughs, the plot simply didn't develop and go anywhere, and we end up with Joe analyzing "the relationship" like some chick flick. Guide: F-word. Brief Joey Kern butt nudity.

We were part of the privileged crowd to watch the premiere of Big Bear on 9/23/17 at the NJHorrorCon. Please don't let other discouraging reviews taint you into not seeing this flick. It is so worthy of your time and laughter! We were surprised to have Joey Kern (screenwriter, director, actor in-) there to introduce his movie. He was excited and so full of energy. He got us all pumped up and ready to see "Big Bear"! What a labor of love by all - we were engaged and entertained for 90 minutes. We were given the premise and background by Joey and how he rounded up his friends to take part in the film. The film was so real - emotions, buddies, excrement-hitting-the-fan, etc. We laughed so much! I don't like spoilers, but suffice to say when you do get to see the big bear, you're laughing even harder. Joey, Adam, Zach, Tyler and Pablo were a great cast and fed off each other. They kept taking it to the next level and were unpredictable. I would see this again in the theater so I can recapture the fun and camaraderie this movie shares with it's viewers. Great job, Joey! So glad we met you, got to share in this special premiere, and had a great time laughing.

This film tells the story of four men, who meet for a weekend for a bachelor party two weeks before the wedding. However, they find out that the wedding is not happening because the fiancée dumped him just that morning. "Big Bear" starts out as an epic party, but the it soon turns into a serious situation when they find a man tied up in the basement. Then, the film gets serious as it delves into why the fiancée dumped him. It is still pretty funny despite its introspective nature of the comedy.

This movie is like a newer, less overdone version of the hangover. There are twists and turns that keep you in. Good jokes, some dark comedy, and a recently made movie vibe. The actors are attractive enough to be good to look at, but believable as ordinary people. The filming is NOT that of a b movie at all like some of these comments claim, the camera work, the script and the acting are way better than some of the movies in theaters last year that got a lot attention. If you like comedy give this a watch

Bad movie, Slow movie, It struggle to get you interested. Shame there is no warning about time wasters.

As a self-proclaimed comedy movie aficionado, I really like what Joey Kern has created here. Big Bear is a movie that can appeal to more than just comedy lovers. This movie mixes slapstick humor with a touch of dark revenge and tops it off with real emotional struggles that most can relate to. But what made the movie, for me at least, was how well cast it was. Joey Kern, being the writer and director, seemed to be able to portray the heartbroken, emotionally torn male lead in a way that only the creator of the character could. Aside from Kern, it was interesting to see characters like Adam Brody and Pablo Schreiber in different roles than what may be considered their usual like in The O.C. or Orange Is The New Black. Brody seemed to not hold anything back, even getting slightly creepy, as a very James-Franco-type crazed best friend. Overall, this movie won me over and I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a laugh.
