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) is telling his grandchildren a campfire story out in the woods. And, what a tale it is! When Harry was young, his mother died and his father, Tyrone (Bryan Brown) was a world adventurer who took months to come back and retrieve his son. After their reunion, Tyrone suddenly announced his intent to capture a grizzly bear! Father and son, along with a ragtag team of somewhat seamy volunteers, go out in the woods and try to do the deed. But, low and behold, when the party captures two grizzly cubs, the mother bear captures young Harry! Thinking he is her new offspring, Mother Grizzly keeps close tabs on Harry, preventing an early escape. Will Harry ever see his father again? This film is just, well, bearific! The human actors do a great job but the bears in the film are beyond compare. One truly can walk hand in hand with a grizzly and experience what this young boy did every step of the way. The scenery is lovely, too, making the film a great pleasure to watch. If you have any animal lovers in your household, or even if you just want to stir up some excitement for a family film night, you could hardly do better than this movie. It is a great achievement in cinema for audiences of all ages, pawsitively marvelous. Don't hesitate to look for the film at the library or video store, today, tomorrow or very soon. Your family will clap for joy at the film's end.
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.

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.

After losing his mother, Harry (Daniel Clark) is sent to a boarding school. His Father(Bryan Brown) comes to take him on a trip with a few other people to catch and bring back a live grizzly bear. After two bear cubs are captured, the mother bear comes and kidnaps Harry Bankston. She takes him to the spot where her bear cubs are being kept. On the way there, they became friends. After the mother bear frees her cubs, she leaves Harry and goes back into the wild. Most of the acting is good and the actors make the movie believable. Grizzly Falls is a good movie directed at children under the age of thirteen, but it could also be enjoyed by parents, grandparents, and animal lovers.
