"Cocaine Bear" Isn't Funny

Even for laughs, depictions of animals who had no idea what they were consuming, and therefore, could not consent to its effects, is wrong.

And yes, I realize it's the humans who are the butt of the joke, but still.

OP The premise of the film is absurd, even though it’s inspired by an actual event. Therefore, the tone of the film should reflect that, being over-the-top, high camp. The trailer suggests this is the comedic style. No animal was abused in the making of this movie since they didn’t actually feed cocaine to a real bear. And the movie doesn’t appear to celebrate animal abuse since it’s clear the movie bear got into the cocaine by accident. You are certainly entitled to your feelings, but perhaps you can adjust your perspective if you consider that people are finding the trailer funny for several reasons and not because they enjoy watching animals suffer.

Agree. OP. I saw the trailer online and I feel like I saw the goddamn thing. A bear eats cocaine and spends the rest of the movie running after people, or popping out from behind a tree, being shot and shot at. Those kind of jokes, over and over.

Every time the bear made an appearance someone in the scene said "We're so fucked!" which is apparently the movie's tag line.

"Get in line" is the trailer's tag line at its final image.

I think it's fucking hilarious, OP. Matter of fact, if it's available for streaming next spring, I'm going to make it the main feature for one of my outdoor movie nights for the neighbors. It's a perfect movie to watch outside.

Directed by Elizabeth Banks.

Yes the one that directed Pitch Perfect and that woke shitbomb Charlie's Angels with Kristen Stewart. If this movie is funny All Is forgiven.

She did look like Lady Gaga in the 2017 Power Rangers reboot

It’s not. My partner and I went to see it today. I was very ready for a laugh. I never actually laughed through the whole movie. I smirked a few times. The audience never once laughed.

Sadly a true story… the bear died of multi-organ failure. Rather horrible way to die

I laughed a few times. It was an ok movie, not great but not terrible. It was too gory for me though. I got sick from seeing all the blood and the bodyparts ripped apart. The bear in itself wasn't done well either, it was clearly CGI.

A bunch of great character actors in this film (Save for the late Ray Liotta)

Margo Martindale

Keri Russel

O'Shea Jackson (Ice Cube's Son)

Alden Ehrenreich (Solo didn't exactly work out)

And an unrecognizable Jesse Tyler Ferguson.

Even the kid actors are great

Great 80s soundtrack too

R44 The key word is “inspired”. You have to separate fact from fiction. Drugs fell from a plane in 1985 and a bear unfortunately got into some of it and died - there was no rampage or killing of people.

by Anonymousreply 60March 3, 2023 5:46 PM

This movie is such a massive piece of shit, I hope it kills Elizabeth Banks' directing career, but for some unfathomable reason, it was a hit, so she'll go on to badly direct other films. With this movie, she may very well have taken the mantle of worst female director ever, a title for which there is a LOT of competition.

by Anonymousreply 61March 19, 2023 3:01 PM

OP, what more can we expect from Hollywood? These are the same people who gave us "Snakes on a Plane." Do you realize how dangerous a plane is for snakes? They're meant to slither around in underbrush, hunting insects and rodents -- not suffer terror on a plane! They could get into a vent and be crushed, or be stomped on by a mean human! And Samuel L Jackson on a tear is about the meanest human there is!

Of course I wrote to my Congressperson about this animal abuse. But no one really cares, OP, not like you and I do.

It’s a huge box office hit, and has received quite good critical reviews. There will be a sequel
