Review of Big Bear (2017) by Alex%20 A — 26 Sep 2017

This movie is awesome because of its experiments with dark themes in comedy. The director, Joey Kern, successfully dared to use strange flashbacks to strengthen the panic attack depictions in ways that look straight from a horror movie.

He managed to play a heartbroken man who experienced rage episodes once he learned his fiancée infidelity. As everything went south, his super odd friends tried to make him feel better. On one hand, the performance by Adam Brody is paramount as he plays an essential role to help lead the film into a darker direction, using his recognizable unconventional acting style and does one of the best works in his career.

And on the other hand, Tyler Labine and Zachery Knighton both added freshness to the pack, by impersonating a couple of hyped party animals. Each of their characteristics match the film's obscure style and matchless revenge plot.

This film made me really feel for Joe, all while laughing along. I can't recommend it enough!
