Chris Ransdell This second movie in the BearCity trilogy is a very good film. In my opinion it is a good movie overall not just good for a gay film. The plot picks up nicely from where the first movie ends. There are only a few minutes spent in NYC setting up the plot and then they are off to Provincetown. Where the first movie seemed to go out of its way to beat you over the head with the setting (here is a subway, here is a collage of NYC landmarks, etc) with Provincetown I felt like the setting was super obvious but also very naturally presented. It really is an over the top place during festivals. The dialog and the cadence of the dialog are much improved over the first Bear City.One of my favorite character pairings in BC2 is the will they or won't they between Tyler and Big Dan. The man who plays Big Dan apparently doesn't have any other acting credits which makes his performance really surprising. Roger and Nate seem totally well cast as ex's too.I'm a huge fan of Bear City 2 and it has held up through about 4 viewings for me and still has laughs, cringes and emotional impact each time.

deavesy24 Having watched 'Bear City' kind of by accident last week and loving it so much I watched it again.. I sought out the sequel to find out what happened to these characters who I loved so much. I'm a female, Bi so not sure if I'm the target market of this film.. but whatever.. cos it doesn't matter. The story, character arcs and witty lines will appeal to everyone I believe. I was interested to see Kevin Smith in it, who I'm a fan of but he's a blink and miss it cameo. The guy who plays Brent is soooooooooo funny.. and a lot of his scenes with his partner and mum seem improvised.. I laughed, smiled quite a lot and even at one or two points got a strange lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.. You have to pay to stream/download this from the official website but its soooo worth it! Go watch.. enjoy :-))

nnenok If you were like me, who after seeing BearCity 1 and learning about the sequel spent the whole 2012 checking online when it will be out, you will be more than pleased. The sequel is exactly what you could expect if you've seen the first movie, just with more Brent and Fred (who deserve all the screen time they got and more, since they're still fantastic). I don't know how realistic is the whole bear scene description, since I'm a lesbian, or even if the awesome parents like those of Brent and Tyler even exist in a natural world, but it is definitely a feel-good, lighthearted movie with a lot of eye-candy if you're into bears. I'm not giving the movie the highest vote, let's face it, it's not The Godfather, but I will definitely rewatch the best scenes a few times more. (Btw, the movie's official page has a really cheap offer for streaming and downloading the movie, check it out!)

Jojo Cho How refreshing to see a full-length gay film that is totally devoid of any stereotypical storyline: gay-bashing, AIDS, suicide,..., but true-to-life stories of gay couples taking their vacay at Provincetown (Ptown). In fact, it is the Provincetown Bear Festival(I have no idea it exists! see what one can learn from movie?). It is a contemporary love story between Tyler(Joe Conti)and Roger(Gerald McCullouch), who proposed, with the reluctance acceptance of the 23 years-old Tyler, where Roger is his first love! Well, it is also riding on legalization of gay marriage. Funny and lovely Kathy Najimy, Rose, plays the divorced mom of Brent(Stephen Guarino), and she owns a B&B in Ptown. There are no edits or censorship with this film, you will see it all and hear it all! I mean really really! and it goes there, and it is fun to watch!
