Reviews for The Country Bears
Top Critic'...both hokey and super-cool, and definitely not in a hurry, so sit back, relax and have a few laughs while the little ones get a fuzzy treat.'

Good music, creative twists and a moving performance by freaky Christopher Walken saved this potentially stinky kiddie film
07/29/02
While obviously aimed at kids, The Country Bears ... should keep parents amused with its low groan-to-guffaw ratio.

Lighten up everybody! The bears are cute, the music is good, and Christopher Walken is a gas!

Many went to see the attraction for the sole reason that it was hot outside and there was air conditioning inside, and I don’t think that A.C. will help this movie one bit.

...the movie just might be worth a rental if only for the sight of watching Christopher Walken belt out a musical number using only his hand and his armpit.

If you're looking to take your children to something harmless, that doesn't embarrass anyone, this light comedy ... is your next outing.

Stuart Little 2 and Lilo & Stitch were respectable...in their own right, but The Country Bears is the most satisfying family film of the summer.
07/26/02
Warm, funny and works as a musical, too.
07/25/02
The movie is not as terrible as the synergistic impulse that created it.
07/26/02
Pic as a whole is a gently and genuinely amusing treat that should bring smiles to target auds.

Top CriticThe message becomes the savior for "The Country Bears," an equal parts silly and sweet tale that wears its great big ol' heart on its grizzly-sized sleeve.
07/25/02
Although I didn't hate this one, it's not very good either. It can be safely recommended as a video/DVD babysitter.
07/26/02
Harmless fun.

It's an OK family diversion, but afterwards you'd be forgiven for wondering what's next from Disney: Pirates of the Caribbean?

The disarming cornball atmosphere has a way of infecting the entire crowd as the film rolls on.
