Being a huge fan of cringe-worthy comedy, Big Bear does a stupendous job with creating an awkward atmosphere, where the true colors of the characters come out and shock viewers each time the plot thickens. It's a dramedy about groom-to-be Joe (Joey Kern) who spends a couple days in a cabin with three other friends who soon find out that Joe's fiancée is cheating on him with another man. Director Joey Kern successfully binds the heartfelt bro-moments amid disaster with the oafish reactions of revenge-driven friends to appease Joe's broken heart. Honestly, the slap-stick humor in this film mixed with the messed-up actions of the stone-cold bride-to-be kept me at the edge of my seat. I connected with Joe as he tried to get his emotions straight after consulting with his friends. The comradery grown in this film was satisfying and made it well worth the watch!
This film tells the story of four men, who meet for a weekend for a bachelor party two weeks before the wedding. However, they find out that the wedding is not happening because the fiancée dumped him just that morning.
"Big Bear" starts out as an epic party, but the it soon turns into a serious situation when they find a man tied up in the basement. Then, the film gets serious as it delves into why the fiancée dumped him. It is still pretty funny despite its introspective nature of the comedy.

NOT a b movie like one comment suggests. Better than a lot of movies in theaters last year. Comedy that feels real because of good actors but is well filmed and funny. Good description of panic attacks. I'd pay money for this movie and I haven't bought a movie in years. Give it a watch.
Written directed, and...starring....joe kern. Another group of four guys having a bachelor party for their buddy. In big bear, california. The twist here is that joe has already been dumped by his fiancee. And doesn't want to talk about it. But of course, the other three insist on hearing the whole story. And they kidnap the fiancee's new boyfriend. Who is not happy about being held hostage. It's very talky. So much discussion about what went right and what went wrong in joe and jess' relationship. Joe kern's real ex has stated that this is one interpretation of their breakup. It's mostly arguing and stress. It needed to either have more comedy, or be more of a suspense drama. And it does turn into a drama, about halfway through. One interesting connection... the cop that comes the cabin also was the voice of kahn on the series king of the hill. It's okay. It could have used more comedy.
This movie is like a newer, less overdone version of the hangover. There are twists and turns that keep you in. Good jokes, some dark comedy, and a recently made movie vibe. The actors are attractive enough to be good to look at, but believable as ordinary people. The filming is NOT that of a b movie at all like some of these comments claim, the camera work, the script and the acting are way better than some of the movies in theaters last year that got a lot attention. If you like comedy give this a watch
