Cocaine Bear

Cocaine Bear will, in time, stand as a dated artifact of the current moment's vogue for viral animal videos and epic memes.

This is a movie that makes no apologies for trying to make you howl in laughter and disgust – at the same time.

Save yourself the price of admission and just watch the trailer if you haven’t already, or—better yet—make your own TikTok version. It’ll be funnier and will cost viewers a lot less time.

Why does the bear kill everyone it meets during its drug rampage except for the one person it decides to kidnap? Why don’t people with guns shoot the bear when they have the chance? Because the movie needs to happen, that’s why!

French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard allegedly said that all you needed for a good movie was “a girl and a gun.” If the movie is called “Cocaine Bear,” all you need is yayo and a clone of Yogi.

[It] acts like it’s above the clichés it’s stringing together.

There was an inciting incident and then people wandered around

Honestly, I got more laughs watching The Whale

As such, the insanity that is Cocaine Bear is only reserved for its trailer, which promises an insane ride at the movies, only for the movie to be a total whimper.

Cocaine Bear is a great bad idea, the kind that happens at 3am after too many edibles, and then you wake up two days later and find you've written a script in a fever dream you don't remember, and the script is Cocaine Bear, and it's not bad...
