Grizzly Falls

Grizzly Falls is a great movie intended mainly for a young audience around the age of 10. This PG movie is an adventure story about a boy (Daniel Clark) who befriends a bear after being kidnapped due to its cubs being taken by the boy's father (Bryan Brown). Of course, the boy and the bear learn to respect each other and become just like family. Overall, it's not a bad movie. Harry and the mother grizzly make a hilarious team together. Although you more than likely seen this plot many times, it's a little different because he learns to respect nature and family values through a bear. Grizzly Falls is a really good family movie to watch with the kids.

i have been watching movies all my life and this movie is not the bestbut not the worst. Its just not for me. This movie named "Grizzly Falls" is rated PG. I thinkthis movie is made for preteens, ages 10-13. the movie is based on adventure(if you call living with a bear adventure). The movie stars Bryan brown (playing Tyrone), Daniel Clark(as Harry), and Tom Jackson (joshua). the characters are easy to understand, but they dont always dress their part.(You will see what i mean when you watch the movie.)In the movie their wardrobe never matches the scene. The actors arent the best but they fill their parts. they just dont do any more than necessary. The movie was farily esy to follow. (Im hoping you are educated enough to follow it.)

The movie is about a boy, Harry, his father, Tyrone, and his men go to the mountains to catch a grizzly. On their journey Harry came across two grizzly cubs at a river. Then later into their journey they came across the momma bear and her cubs. She malled man who became very angry and wanted to kill the bear. Then they captured the two cubs and locked them up. Afterward the boy was feeding the cubs when the mother grizzly captured him and drug him away into the mountains. While Harry was making friends with the grizzly, who he named Mizzy, his father, Tyrone, and his friend, Joshua, were searching for him. In the time he was with Mizzy he tried many new things, like eating raw fish and bugs. He cooked Mizzy some fish on the fire he made. After all their experiences together Harry finally realized that Mizzy was following her cubs the whole time and he led him straight to them. To bad though because to find out the rest or the details between you are going to have to watch it yourself.

Old Harry (Richard Harris) recounts his childhood adventure with a grizzly bear. As a young boy with his beloved mother dead, his adventurer father Tyrone Bankston (Bryan Brown) returns to take him out of his hated boarding school. They head into the Canadian wilderness to capture bears with native guide Joshua McTavish (Tom Jackson) and some questionable hired hands.

This falls into the category of tall tales and I certainly wouldn't want any young boys to try this. The bear scenes with the boy seem sometimes to be composite scenes. I would hate to think the bear was that close during filming. As long as one keeps that in mind, this is a fine adventure movie. It feels like a Disney movie from the 70's or 80's.

Tyrone is out to get a grizzly for research. But things go wrong when they take her cubs. And she gets Harry. Mizzy keeps Tyrone far enough behind to teach Harry some lessons. Harry is going to teach Mizzy some, also. She treats him to grub worms from under a log and some rare fish. So he pays her the favorite back with some cooked fish. But Mizzy forgot to bring the manners. Harry says that is the last.Then Mizzy would like to show how smart grizzlies really are. This is a maxed out PG-13 movie. Good for ages 8-10 and anyone into animals. This movie is a 6 on a scale from 1-10. Another good movie that I have reviewed for out of my 10 years. This isn't a must see but you need to bring the kids for a past time.

Although the story line of this movie was somewhat unrealistic, it was entertaining nonetheless. It was about what I expected, and was a nice change of pace from the typical sex and crime movies that are so common these days.

This is obviously not a movie that will be enjoyed by everyone, but anyone who loves nature should appreciate this film. The scenery is beautiful and refreshing. Most older children will probably love it, but there is mild violence and younger children might be frightened.

At times the plot moves slowly, but doesn't get overly boring for the adults. Not a bad picture overall.
