5.0 out of 5 stars Its Spanish, its got Bears and its both Gay and Foreign!!, Nov 1 2011

This review is from: Bear Cub [Unrated] (DVD)
This is a Spanish film from 2004 that I have taken a while to see, and I must say I found it worth the wait. It is billed as a comedy drama, but it is also sexually explicit in places and manages to wend its way into your heart, as I ruddy loved it.

It is the story of Pedro (Jose Luis Garcia Perez), who likes Bears, his family know and accept his predilection. His `forward thinking' sister is going on a fifteen day holiday to India to indulge her passion of holistic hippydom. Whilst she and her Significant Other are away she asks her brother to look after his nephew `Bernardo' (David Castillo). No sooner has the little lad settled in than his estranged Grand Mother turns up seeking to be a part in her grand sons life (at all costs).

The story then starts to take a few turns which would be plot spoilers to reveal. There was some strong adult content from the start and interspersed throughout, which is why it has the certification. This is not a love story but a human one, and one of the nastier side of human nature as well, but it is all the more real for that. I found it to be totally engrossing and was hooked from about scene one, everyone puts in a brilliant performance and the time (95 mins) just flew by. I actually didn't want it to end I was that caught up in the stories.

It is in Spanish with some French and a smidgen of English, and be warned some of the exchanges are so fast you will need the subtitles, unless your Spanish is excellent.

Director and co-writer Miguel Abaladejo has produced a great little film about big, gay men, with big gay hearts and it is a such a joy to have a film that does not stick to the slavish adoration of all gay men having to be under twenty five and have spent at least twenty of them either in a gym or exfoliating their chests. If you like this then you should also check out `Boys Town' another great Spanish gay themed film.

4.0 out of 5 stars A human, gentle, funny, rich character study, April 10 2011
By

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Bear Cub [Unrated] (DVD)
Probably the sweetest gay film I've seen. This fish out of water story would have been turned into glossy, sappy glop by Hollywood,
but the subtlety of writing and directing, the explicitness and acceptance of promiscuous, unglamorous gay men, and its general
humor and humanity raise it well above it's slightly formulaic story.

An aging hippie mom brings her son to stay with her gay brother while she goes off to India with her new lover. While there she's
thrown in prison on drug charges, and the man and boy slowly form a tender father/son like bond. Meanwhile the boy's estranged
grandmother schemes to use this as a chance to force her way into the boy's life. While that might sound slight or familiar, the details,
humanity and fine performances transcend to make something richer, funnier and deeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars The differences of the two versions explained..., April 21 2005
By Michael Arentz - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bear Cub [Unrated] (DVD)
I recently emailed the company that's releasing the DVD and asked them what the differences between the R-rated and Unrated version were. This is strait from them... "The difference is that there are two sex scenes removed from the U.S. theatrical version for the MPAA. We included the Unrated version to satisfy the director's original vision." Also, there will be NO English dubbed audio track. Only Spanish audio and English subtitles. I hope this answers the questions of people that are as curious about this kind of stuff as I am. :^) Take care!!

5.0 out of 5 stars HEARTBREAKING AND BRILLIANT, Mar 3 2005
By Dustin Merton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Bear Cub [Unrated] (DVD)
i just happened to be in dallas tx while this movie was playing and i am so glad that i had seen it. this movie is a testament to the bonds that form in a family. a gay uncle is forced to care for his nephew when his mother was detained in a foreign country. that is the basic premise of the movie. the true beauty of the movie comes through when the uncle is faced with the boy's grandmother blackmails the uncle into giving up custody of the child. you really see the emotion and the torment the uncle goes through when the grandmother uses his lifestyle against him in her fight to take away the child. in a very short time you see a father son relationship form between the two and it rips your heart out to see them separated. the young boy knows all about the world and knows all about his uncle and his homosexuality and the fact the he still loves and encourages his uncle is a beautiful thing to see. the movie hits all the right notes and does not pull any punches and lets you see who these characters are. i love this move and cant wait to get it on dvd, see it if you get the chance

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope we get the uncensored version, Mar 12 2005

This review is from: Bear Cub [Unrated] (DVD)
I saw this movie in Spain, including the explicit sexscene in the beginning. I hope that is what the unrated version is. I heard about several (if not all) screenings in the US with the first (sex) scene cut from the movie. We're adults here thank you, just don't censor art and distort the director's vision.
