Grizzly Falls is an all-American family movie. It's the perfect movie for the preteen audiences ranging from the ages of 10 to 13. This movie wasn't the greatest, but I will say that it had a cute and adventurous story behind it. I think that if you have children of the suggested ages and you would like to watch a clean movie, then this movie would be a great way to finish the day off with. The fairy-tale began around a campfire of generations. As Harry (Richard Harris) grasped the children's hearts with fear, he slowly faded into his own past. His campfire story began with the amazing adventures of his life. The younger Harry (Daniel Clark)started with a heartfelt story as a motherless child, explaining the pains of an absent father (Bryan Brown). After years of relentless actions, Harry's father finally decided to let the past be the past. He took his son along with him, on a trip in search of his father's spirit and to catch a live grizzly for scientific knowledge. While they were hunting for the grizzly, they came across two cubs alone in the water. The hunters thought the mother grizzly was dead, so they took the two cubs for observations and to fill in the absence of their mother. To make a long story short, the mother grizzly came back and took Harry hostage. Although she was a grizzly and grizzlies are known for terror, she did nothing to harm him. Harry soon grew fond of the mother grizzly and named her Mizzy. He came up with that name because she seemed miserable without her cubs. As the father searched for his son, Harry grew closer to Mizzy and learned to respect nature. From there, the epic adventure gets better and better as the search continues and bonds grow stronger. I'm not going to tell you the end because I feel like I've already told you too much.
Movie Review for "Grizzly Falls"
Can you imagine a 1,000-pound mother grizzly bear, mothering a real live boy. Well, here is a wonderful movie for you. This movie is very breath taking. The actors in this movie portray their roles very well. Especially the newcomer Harry (Daniel Clark.) Although this movie is very good I would not recommend it for kids under he age of 6. There are some gory parts to this movie. In this one scene the mother bear is mauling one of the hunters. This movie is a very good action, adventure movie. This is a very good movie for father and son. It shows how close they become. I would recommend going to see this movie. This movie was filmed in the Rocky Mountains of Canada.

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.
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.
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.
