Ratings and reviews

The line between mockumentary and documentary blurs, gave me plenty of laughs. Perhaps my favourite line of the whole film is the rescue worker stating " To me he was acting like he was working with humans in bear costumes, not wild ferocious animals; the only reason he got away with it is because the bears probably thought he was mentally retarded."

Great movie ( true story ) documentry - I really enjoyed it and recommend it to others - a step back to nature ! Great filming , scenery - captivating
