Synopsis
For Beary Barrington, The Country Bears' young #1 fan, fitting in with his all-too-human family is proving im-paws-ible. When he runs away to find Country Bear Hall and his heroes, he discovers the venue that made them famous is near foreclosure. Beary hightails it over the river and through the woods to get the Bears in the Band back together for an all-out reunion concert to save Country Bear Hall.

If the other theme-park movies are as appealing, go ahead, bring 'em on. - 50
Los Angeles Times
After a while, the only way for a reasonably intelligent person to get through The Country Bears is to ponder how a whole segment of pop-music history has been allowed to get wet, fuzzy and sticky. - 50
Entertainment Weekly
It's sort of an ursine ''The Last Waltz,'' with more costumes and no direction from Martin Scorsese. - 50
Variety
Toddlers and pre-teens will be entertained, and parents will be pleasantly surprised, by this more-than-just-bearable musical road movie. - 50
Washington Post
If you're looking to take your children to something harmless, that doesn't embarrass anyone, this light comedy (a gentle parody of those "Behind the Music" specials on cable TV) is your next outing. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
It's hard to figure who the movie is intended for. In shape and purpose, it's like a G-rated version of "This Is Spinal Tap," but will its wee target audience understand the joke? - 50
Film Threat
It makes no sense, but then again neither does much of anything in The Country Bears. - 50
