Premise: A bear from South America learns to speak English, goes to London and has adapt to life there.

Pros:

1. A reasonably OK film for the kids.

Cons:

1. A bear that talks? How come no human was surprised that a bear could talk? This frustrated me as I watched the film. It's not difficult for the director to explain this and for him to omit this issue just smacks of laziness!

2. Unconvincing storyline and acting... throughout the film.

3. It is a film for kids.

Score: 3/5 (no half score). Save your money and catch it on TV.
