Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
Joe Day Okay. I am old skool, back when Harvey was still alive and Sylvester screamed Do ya Wanna Funk? Guys went to bathhouses as a group, like it was a club; the whole Y-M-C-A thing.I spent a lot of time in a mixed group of straights and gays and the pathos and drama have not changed at all. The insecurities, the depression, the self-loathing - still there.I knew many many couples who were never monogamous - ever. This was back when it was expected that ANY delivery boy, phone installer, etc. was going to have sex with you - and they did. This was before dating sites on the Web or even cell phone chats. When it was an effort to see a gay porn movie and there were maybe the same dozen guys in every film - two of them black!!! Fat guys? Are you kidding? "Silver" guys? Get outta here. Bald guys? Uh uh. Nope. Too many muscles were even seen as denoting an empty-headed jock. Chest hair was a must. Men were wanted not pubeless boys. Delivery boys and prison scenes were about it - and hitchhikers. And nothing was Gonzo or hand-held or "amateur" in your bedroom either. ALL the military guys were actors too. Heck, they didn't even bother to cut their hair!!! It was the time of the gay magazine.Anyway, the guys I knew who considered themselves as having "lovers" would always be seen at the bars too. Spend time alone with them and you usually found that if they were not having sex, they fought, and generally could not stand each other; they could not really be alone together and just do nothing. So they had to always surround themselves with the "gang." Everything was about cruising, scoring, new meat on the block. Nobody but nobody had a "supportive" family. Hell, why do you think they left Des Moines?As for Bear City, I guess it is right that everyone find his crowd for support. It is just so contrived and so much work has to go into creating a reality for themselves. US against the world.As for these characters, the only fun part was the three-way with Uncle Milton or whatever. That dolt could not even remember HAVING the threesome. Of course this only came about because of pressure to spice up our relationship. So many daddy issues in this film too. I found the so-called hot boy dismally annoying and his so- called Silver Daddy love interest an insecure loser.I had no idea the back room orgies at bars still happened. None at all. Nice they show the occasional condom but in the shower with the water running? I doubt it. Oh yeah, they call that barebacking. And of course every bar has its so-called hottest guy who has had everybody and has first dibs on any chickens. BEWAREAnd the whole thing with the cute cub and his 400 lb daddy bear and the kid being so upset that daddy might actually lose weight was absurd. How does a kid like that get so hung up on a slob like that? No offense to the slob, but come on. I know there are guys who go for fat chicks too but that just proves my point. I do not think it is normal for some Brazilian hottie to be ga-ga over a 400 lb guy. I don't. The guy has issues.All-in-all, I could see myself talking to these guys but hanging out with them would only bring me down. The mad cruising, the anonymous groping, the constant double-entendres are fun for awhile but after that I think people to to face reality and grow up. It may be boring but at least it is real. Men were not meant to be married to each other and that is why it does not really work. It doesn't. Opposites attract and that means biologically mostly. The rest is just lust and it is fleeting. Good luck though.
FallsDownz BearCity is a movie that not hiding about talking topic like gay and it goes deeper than that it's explore the 'Bear' in gay culture which is kind a popular actually.The thing i like about this film is it's exploring the unique topic like not being just gay but being gay while loving older men or so call 'Bear' and goes to explore problem of these kind of relationship which the main problem actually is the age gap different which cause different opinion and physical problem like health .the problem is the directing and script is just mediocre script is cliché and every conflict seems too easy to solve without much problem not counting the fact that almost every conflict in this movie is just shallow while the directing is just bland i mean it's not like boring but it's just nothing unique at all makes the movie unmemorable which is a shame since this kind of topic is really unique unfortunately the execution is not that great .BUT it's still a decent movie though it's a fun movie that has unique on it's own with fun laugh and real life issue even it's has a lot of flaws.
jamesmccormack Not totally awful since there are a few hot guys scattered throughout the film. But a weak script with even weaker acting and very sluggish direction do not make much of a film. Yes, In know it is an indie, but let us stop making excuses for indie films. The film revolves around the Tyler character and his coming out in the bear scene. Everyone in the film is so crazy over this Tyler guy but he just is not all that. Highpoint of he film, if that is what you want to call it, is a hilariously bad scene of Tyler learning how to bowl. The marketing department promotes this film as channeling the Sex in the City series. Not even close. Another subplot has to to with a character who wants to get his stomach stapled. And yet another subplot is about a bear couple trying to decide if they want to "open up their relationship." All in all, the is movie that goes nowhere and is deadly boring along the way. My advice: go rent anything but this film
nnenok This movie is a fine example of a project, made for a specific subgroup. Considering how much fun everybody's having and how unbelievably relaxed all the actors are, it could easily be a project among friends. And a well-done one.The story is simple: young Tyler finally comes out of the closet for the second time when he admits he likes bears, and starts exploring the bear scene with all its positive and negative sides. And, of course, falls in love on the way.The movie is full of inside jokes (by not being on the bear scene, I probably missed quite a few), but that's great, considering it was made for that specific group and not so much for the general public. It's a movie for bears and bear lovers to feel better in their own skin (and for open-minded others).My only negative remark would be about the script (the text) - it often tends to be really forced, it doesn't flow and seems unnatural. However, this doesn't go for the role of Brent. According to IMDb, the actor Stephen Guarino is a professional comedian and this is really obvious from the movie. It seems like the writers didn't write the words for him because they assumed he will be much better improvising everything on the spot anyway. He is definitely the most hilarious character in the movie.Conclusion: a really really funny movie. Apparently #2 is coming out this year and I'm hoping it will be at least as funny as the first part.
