That was a funny movie!.............
Cocaine Bear reminded me more than any other movie in the last 20 years of my childhood favorites in the 1980s. Just campy enough to be fun to watch, just slightly enough creature horror to make my darling bride startle at the jump scares as she watched it next to me, and just enough character development and action that my kids loved it.
Note that these are the same kids who claimed that me watching “The Ghost in the Darkness” (Val Kilmer, based on the lions of Tsavo story) traumatized them for life. I mean seriously, what 10 and 8 year old doesn’t love lions but somehow also at 18 and 20 are thrilled to watch a bear totally mauling an idyllic park???
