Big Bear

You can tell there are some experienced people behind this project! The actors do an excellent job entertaining the audience in ways that surprise you and make you laugh for the entire duration of the film. The editor, Franklin Peterson, shows a master craft and domination of his role in the project. And Joey Kern, the writer and director is the one that joined them all together to make this an incredible experience and a film worth watching!

One of the best comedic Indie films that I have seen thus far! Big Bear was a thrill from start to finish and really showed first time directory Joey Kern’s many talents. The fact that he wrote, directed, and starred in the film blew me away because the laughs never stopped coming. My favorite part about the film was the hilarious bond that the friends had, as well as the moments of anguish and self discovery. I would highly recommend for comedy lovers!

Joey Kern really made himself known with this film. It was comedic but with dramatic elements that would pique the interest of lot of different audiences. Not only was it about a bachelor party with the bros gone wrong, it heavily touched on enlightenment and self-discovery that many people would appreciate. I applaud him for being able to incorporate both themes and still be able to create a well-rounded movie. I really love Joey Kern as an actor, director and writer. I’d recommend this film to anyone looking for an intriguing dramedy!

A bachelor party weekend goes awry when Bachelor, Joe finds out his fiancee has fallen in love with another man. After hearing this news his friends scheme their way to fix his broken heart. Big Bear is a vulgar experimental comedy with a twist. This film is fun and engaging to watch! Big Bear to my surprise was the perfect balance between drama and comedy. Joey Kern’s film not only is filled with crude humor but teaches us the importance of new beginnings.

This movie was hilarious and super real. It just felt personable yet it was made with quality. Joey Kern’s writing and directing made the relationships feel really real in a way I wasn’t expecting from a comedy. Usually in a male group centered comedy, the vibe is a little more frat brother which is what I expected from this movie but maybe it was the serious elements of the movie but these felt like actual friends. I would definitely recommend this to any one who likes comedies or dramas.

Successfully capturing a unique blend of both comedy and drama, writer and director Joey Kern develops and exceptional storyline that is as exhilarating as it is engaging. Not only does this film contain an exemplary cast, but it falls nothing short in the visually appealing aspects of the film. Taking full advantage of the serene nature offered in the California mountains, Kern displays breathtaking scenery throughout the entirety of the film. As a whole, I would really recommend this movie to those that like getting a good laugh.

As a fellow-lover of the show Happy Endings, I was left wanting more when the show was cancelled. Seeing Zachery Knighton on the list of main characters for Big Bear was one of my main motivations for watching the comedy. Joey Kern did not shatter my illusion with his combination of a close group of friends and a weekend-gone-wrong. The film had me laughing along while still wondering what the boys would do next. This is the type of movie that you can just watch over and over and find a new joke waiting for you.
