The two main characters are a "twink" and a "silver daddy". Neither is a bear. Almost all their FRIENDS are various types of bears, but they aren't. And the romance isn't that good, is basically about one character getting over his worry that his friends won't like his new boyfriend if they get together. And of course, in the end, they don't care at all.The supporting characters have the best lines and situations. I wish the MAIN STORY were as interesting.This is reminding me of "Bear Nation", which is essentially a collection of interviews of bear CHASERS.Is there some reason that "bear" movies can't have bears at their lead characters?

I can't believe some of the reviews I read above... This is a C-O-M-E-D-Y so of course you will have stereotypes, because they ARE funny. I think the script is funny, the actors are fantastic, in a simple and cute plot. Just enjoy a simple comedy, don't go looking for the ultimate masterpiece of human drama. For those of you who complain about this "stereotype" film, I am sorry to break it to you but this is very much how it is: muscle bears, far bears, cubs, crazy sex, drugs, fun, fantastic queen bears, older with younger, handsome with ugly, sexy and sexier.Stop the denial.

This movie is a fine example of a project, made for a specific subgroup. Considering how much fun everybody's having and how unbelievably relaxed all the actors are, it could easily be a project among friends. And a well-done one.The story is simple: young Tyler finally comes out of the closet for the second time when he admits he likes bears, and starts exploring the bear scene with all its positive and negative sides. And, of course, falls in love on the way.The movie is full of inside jokes (by not being on the bear scene, I probably missed quite a few), but that's great, considering it was made for that specific group and not so much for the general public. It's a movie for bears and bear lovers to feel better in their own skin (and for open-minded others).My only negative remark would be about the script (the text) - it often tends to be really forced, it doesn't flow and seems unnatural. However, this doesn't go for the role of Brent. According to IMDb, the actor Stephen Guarino is a professional comedian and this is really obvious from the movie. It seems like the writers didn't write the words for him because they assumed he will be much better improvising everything on the spot anyway. He is definitely the most hilarious character in the movie.Conclusion: a really really funny movie. Apparently #2 is coming out this year and I'm hoping it will be at least as funny as the first part.

yes - lots of Eye candy... BUT horrible acting, cheesy dialogue, annoying/ bazaar soundtrack- and that Simon dude?-- within 1 minute of watching his overblown, high school acting class wannabe bullsh*t... i wanted to slap the sh*t out of him- all my friends said i needed to watch this movie- i hate my friends now :P (not really but come on guys!?!!?) this flick is dripping with Bear / Gay stereo types and over blown schmaltz - the last tear jerker scean? - jerked me from my 85 minute coma and i hit the eject- it is now on its way back to Netflix HQ- weighing 400+ pounds is not heart healthy- it will lead to a harsh and complicated death- get the surgery if you can't control yourself- sheesh- i would think that would be the over-riding issue - not that the surgery could go wrong- i know a lot of people that got it done and they are fine- they still struggle with their diet control - but at least their vital signs are stable...finally-
