BearCity 2: The Proposal

The film is funny, weepy, and hairy all the way to the barrel-chested-and utterly predictable-end.

These characters, especially the uninteresting primary couple, can't sustain almost two hours of movie. Overall, BearCity 2 deals in mild amusement, not wit.

That original was split between charms and minuses, suffering primarily from careless scripting. Here, those faults are indulged wholesale, with so little attention paid to overall narrative development or individual scene-shaping that the bloated pic often suggests a crowd-funded venture existing solely to pay back (and showcase) the crowd.

Unfortunately, the thin storyline isn't substantial enough to sustain the nearly two-hour running time.

Doug Langway's film is often too cheesy to, well, bear.
