Come on Internet Movie Database (IMDb), Cocaine Bear is a horror/comedy, not a thriller/comedy that you have it classed as! Went to see this at a local cinema last night and was not disappointed, it had the potential to be so bad but thankfully it gets a "good" (7/10) from me. For me some of the comedy worked well, other parts did not but there was a great deal of laughter from my fellow audience members. The funniest parts for me consisted mainly of people being attacked by the drug fuelled bear. There is no bad acting here but there are characters that are weaker than others, when the latter try to be funny it doesn't always work. I am not a big fan of CGI effects but they looked good here for both for the bear/s and the gore, and believe me this is a very gory movie, though done for laughs as opposed to shock. There are also a few effective jump scares, after all this is a horror movie. Ireland stands in for the US state of Georgia and if like me you like to see some well filmed wilderness then there is plenty here. Film is set in 1985 and as a teen from that fabulous decade I liked the 1980's nostalgia. If you want a gory, fast paced and fun horror comedy then Cocaine Bear is well worth a look.
