This article contains spoilers for "Cocaine Bear."
Nobody can claim that "Cocaine Bear," the action-horror-comedy hybrid featuring a very drugged-out bear, is taking itself too seriously. It's about as predictable as you might expect, but also totally unpredictable at the same time. It harkens back to the killer animal films of the '70s and '80s, in both good and bad ways. Regardless, if you're looking to see what happens when a bear eats possibly hundreds of pounds of cocaine, there's an answer for that!
However, "Cocaine Bear" doesn't just show what happens when a bear eats cocaine. It also shows us brief glimpses of what life has become for our motley cast of characters that somehow survived the bear's rampage.

The title says it all. Just like Snakes on a Plane was about just that, the new horror comedy Cocaine Bear is about a 500-pound bear on a jihad after coming upon a ton of cocaine dropped into rural Georgia on a drug run gone wrong. The bear ingests the coke, and soon you have a beast roaring out of control and devouring whatever human comes onto his path. It is all not to be taken seriously, but fortunately director Elizabeth Banks is smart enough to give audiences hungry for a Jaws in the wilderness some nice scares mixed in with the laughs plus a bit more bang for their buck than just a marketable title.
With a game ensemble playing none-too-bright potential meals, the intelligence level of many on display makes The Dukes of Hazzard look like Schindler’s List. I was rooting for the bear,...
