Cocaine Bear can't reach the highs of the trailer

This absurd but true story of a bear on the gear is as frantic - and boring - as a human on cocaine

There are myriad people who might find it: two children skipping school ; a ranger and her beau ; a worried mother ; some unsuspecting paramedics; and a doomed trio of local wastrels.

It’s a stellar cast and a well-considered ensemble of characters that should and could work well in different circumstances. Yet, here they are, like a bad horror movie, just filler, endlessly waiting, like us, for the next bear scare. Director Elizabeth Banks is well-versed in stoner comedy of the mid-Noughties and she has a great sense of pace and comic timing. She knows how to set up characters for the fall and to let jokes linger in the air. She riffs off the 80s clothes and musicBut this is mostly just a funny concept – a bear on blow?? Ha! – with lots of wandering around in between. Was it even possible for it to live up to its premise? I’m not sure.
