Another key difference with Batman & Robin was that my eyes never exploded like Toht from the greatest movie ever while watching Yogi Bear.

 

 

Justin Timberlake: Timberlake sounds a lot like Boo-Boo, unlike Aykroyd, who sounds nothing like Yogi. May seem small, but you gotta appreciate the small things.

 

Ranger Smith's new park: This is one of the two parts that actually made me laugh. To explain; after he's fired from Jellystone Park, Smith's new park area is improbably small. May seem little, but you gotta appreciate the little things. The other part that made me laugh was...

 

The falling scene: To explain; Yogi, Boo-Boo, Smith, and Rachel Johnson (Anna Faris) drift down a waterfall and land safely in a tree-branch. The funny park is that Yogi doesn't seem to realize that he's safe until they tell him. May seem miniscule, but you gotta appreciate the miniscule things.

 

 

Dan Aykroyd: As I mentioned above, he sounds nothing like Yogi. Now, if what Vits said is true, than they did this on purpose. But, if they were deliberately doing this, why cast Timberlake, who sounds exactly like Boo-Boo?

 

Anna Faris: The usually talented Faris fumbles in this. Although, maybe it's just the rating: the movies that I've liked her in (Scary Movie 1 and only 1, Observe & Report, etc.) were all R-rated. Maybe, she needs to be unleashed to work.

 

Tom Cavanagh: Vits was right about him being miscast. Watching his scenes could cause a coma in less-seasoned viewers.

 

 

The script: Take every crappy children's film cliche and you've got your Yogi Bear scipt. Dumb pratfalls, talking animals, needless explosions, posters that feature sodomy*, the usual.

 

The CGI: This is some Alvin And The Chipmunks sh*t right here. It's down-right disturbing in places. Expecially...

 

That f*cking turtle: The turtle is exceptionally creepy. Even worse, he's a plot-point: apparently, his weird eyes will make the government protect the park because it's endangered. While that does seem plausible, this leaves a major plot hole: no one seems to care that there's two bears talking! There's one scene, where they ask a guy for his shopping cart and he says: "Do you got chocolate?" instead of "Holy f*cking sh*t, a talking bear!" or "Man, I gotta stop doing reefer!"

 

Well, that's a crappy CGI version of a childhood chestnut. Grade: C

 

Next-up: How The Grinch Stole Christmas!
