Leave your thoughts about The Country Bears.
| Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Mark Perez script lacks the clever humor and odd twists that can help a family film transcend age. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekTrue to its animatronic roots:...as stiff, ponderous and charmless as a mechanical apparatus...'The Country Bears' should never have been brought out of hibernation. |
| Reel.comMary Kalin-CaseyUnlike Kermit & Co., the Country Bears are completely devoid of charm. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsValerie KuklenskiDon't tell anybody, but I'm going to buy the soundtrack to The Country Bears. |
| CitysearchBill PearisWhile obviously aimed at kids, The Country Bears ... should keep parents amused with its low groan-to-guffaw ratio. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...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. |
| KBTV-NBC (Beaumont, TX)Danny MintonMany 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. |
| Kalamazoo GazetteJames Sanfordan "O Bruin, Where Art Thou?"-style cross-country adventure... it has sporadic bursts of liveliness, some so-so slapstick and a few ear-pleasing songs on its soundtrack. |
| Miami HeraldHoward CohenIf the other theme-park movies are as appealing, go ahead, bring 'em on. |
| New York PostLou LumenickTwo stars for adults -- 3 stars for kids. The under-5 set should take to The Country Bears like bears to honey - even if anyone much older will find this broad-as-a-barn-door Disney musical bear-ly tolerable. |
