Just perfect...

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Brigsby Bear is one of the most creative and original movies I've seen. The performance by Kyle Mooney was great and it didn't feel like some SNL sketch kind of acting and story. It's also great to note that the supporting cast in this movie is also good not only for their acting but also purpose and relativity.

Very rare for a movie to capture that moment WE all had growing up. Whether it was BRIGSBY bear or MONKEY magic. The moment only true innocence can phantom. Great movie, well shot, well timed. Our HEROS are real

You'll not find a more creative movie, nor a nicer one. This is what Hollywood should be producing, if the glinches hadn't taken over.

Brigsby Bear is the sad but wonderful story of a man expressing his passion. Despite the doubt he receives from his family and others perceiving him as "weird". That doesn't stop James to continue pursuing what he loves.Right from the beginning, the movie assures you that it's unique with the introduction of some twists. I was hooked by the 30 minute mark and anticipated what was to come next. It was fascinating to watch James, a quirky and oddball character, get creative and work with his friends. This movie really is about coming together with your friends and creating something with heart in it. The ending demonstrated this beautifully. It also shows what it's like to be a film maker. Pouring all you have into what you love, and getting sick to your stomach worrying if others will actually like it. Another theme I feel the movie conveyed well was the idea of accepting someone for who they are. James' love for Brigsby had roots in a dark past, so it makes sense as to why his parents were resentful towards his feelings. However, they soon accept that Brigsby is a part of James, and they can't change that. James had imagination and dreams, something nobody could take away from him.This film pulls you win from the get go and takes you through a delightful story with a great ending. I was pleasantly surprised, as I went in with practically no idea of what I was in for. I recommend it to those who enjoy making movies or for those who just want to see a touching tale of expressing your creativity.
