BearCity 2: The Proposal

Having watched 'Bear City' kind of by accident last week and loving it so much I watched it again.. I sought out the sequel to find out what happened to these characters who I loved so much. I'm a female, Bi so not sure if I'm the target market of this film.. but whatever.. cos it doesn't matter. The story, character arcs and witty lines will appeal to everyone I believe. I was interested to see Kevin Smith in it, who I'm a fan of but he's a blink and miss it cameo. The guy who plays Brent is soooooooooo funny.. and a lot of his scenes with his partner and mum seem improvised.. I laughed, smiled quite a lot and even at one or two points got a strange lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.. You have to pay to stream/download this from the official website but its soooo worth it! Go watch.. enjoy :-))

If you were like me, who after seeing BearCity 1 and learning about the sequel spent the whole 2012 checking online when it will be out, you will be more than pleased. The sequel is exactly what you could expect if you've seen the first movie, just with more Brent and Fred (who deserve all the screen time they got and more, since they're still fantastic). I don't know how realistic is the whole bear scene description, since I'm a lesbian, or even if the awesome parents like those of Brent and Tyler even exist in a natural world, but it is definitely a feel-good, lighthearted movie with a lot of eye-candy if you're into bears. I'm not giving the movie the highest vote, let's face it, it's not The Godfather, but I will definitely rewatch the best scenes a few times more. (Btw, the movie's official page has a really cheap offer for streaming and downloading the movie, check it out!)

How refreshing to see a full-length gay film that is totally devoid of any stereotypical storyline: gay-bashing, AIDS, suicide,..., but true-to-life stories of gay couples taking their vacay at Provincetown (Ptown). In fact, it is the Provincetown Bear Festival(I have no idea it exists! see what one can learn from movie?). It is a contemporary love story between Tyler(Joe Conti)and Roger(Gerald McCullouch), who proposed, with the reluctance acceptance of the 23 years-old Tyler, where Roger is his first love! Well, it is also riding on legalization of gay marriage. Funny and lovely Kathy Najimy, Rose, plays the divorced mom of Brent(Stephen Guarino), and she owns a B&B in Ptown. There are no edits or censorship with this film, you will see it all and hear it all! I mean really really! and it goes there, and it is fun to watch!

I liked the movie I watched part 3 and liked it I would like to continue with the parts of the film

The original cast of 'BearCity' return for another hairy adventure in this worthy sequel. This is another good script, with clever, witty dialogue and relatable characters.

Tyler and Roger now are a couple and Roger is ready to take it to the next level. We head to Provincetown for another BearCity weekend, and for Tyler and Roger's bachelor parties, and wedding! We meet Tyler's parents, as well as Brent's mother, Rose (Kathy Najimy), who is just fabulous.

With many obstacles and temptation, Tyler and Roger's romance is put to the test, especially also when Roger's ex-boyfriend, the incredibly sexy hunk Nate (Aaron Tone) makes his appearance. Hunky daddy Roger (Gerald McCulloch) still has that gorgeous smile that makes my heart melt!

Tyler's best friend, Simon, is back in a slightly more mature role. Michael and Carlos are back, with Michael now working for the theatre, and Carlos opening his own bar. Fred and Brent are again considering 'playing' with others, and guess who is back as well: Mel - the very hairy, stocky guy they played with in 'BearCity'. Although he has a small role in both films, he does such a wonderful job that he is one of the most memorable supporting characters, portrayed by Blake Evan Sherman, who unfortunately did not pursue acting.

More characters are introduced and there's plenty more fun and drama. 'BearCity 2' has more adventure, and a thumping good soundtrack. And more than enough eye candy to make you drool!! I mean, this must be what it feels like for a kid in a candy store!! And the more you taste, the more you want!
