‘Brigsby Bear’ Unlike anything you have ever seen before
Movies can take you on all kinds of adventures. Most films are pretty similar in style and story telling. Yet once in a while something gets made that is different. Brigsby Bear is one of those films. It looked odd to me at first, but it surprised me in many ways. I was able to get a review copy and this is what I thought of it.

I really enjoyed Brigsby Bear. I found myself relating to James, he is a simple innocent man who is still kind of a big kid in many ways. This character helps him make some friends, and gives him a purpose. There is plenty of drama, and a few cool surprises as the story unfolds. ‘An Evening with Brigsby Bear Cast Q & A’ was great because it answers some questions about how this film was made. There is also a Gag Reel and a few Deleted and Extended scenes. If you are looking for something different to watch, then this is the movie for you.
