    Cocaine Bear (2023) is surprisingly good. You think it’s gonna be one of those overly campy movies like Sharknado, but it’s pretty well written. I mean, don’t expect too much, it’s still a very solid 7/10. But the thing it understands best is it actually takes enough time at the beginning of the film to develop extensive cast of weird characters so once they all get thrown into the blender (cocaine bear) you actually care enough about them and what’s going on to care about the outcome.

    So many movies these days forget you really need to care about those characters.

    Fun time, give it a go some night when you’re bored and got nothing else to do.

      The honesty and realism that they wrote into the scene where that dude was trying to find a way to climb down from the roof of that gazebo was moving and inspiring.

      Can I ask you an honest question. I got loose definition in my head of what “campy” means. But could you break it down without Google fucking it up for me?
