"A Bear's Story" is not about an animal living in the woods or the predictions in the stock market.
This cute short film is about Robert (Kevin Bowe, who also wrote the screenplay), a heavy-set, solitary obituary writer who unexpectedly finds love. Being a large, bearded gay man, Robert does not fit the so-called stereotype of a gay man (e.g.: slim, clean-shaved, young) and he's resigned to being single. That is until he meets John (Dean Ricca) at the bar. John invites Robert to a pool party at his home but Robert is a little leery about attending, especially a party that he believes is helping to raise money for preventing the extinction of polar bears.
What he finds out at the pool party opens his eyes to a possible change in his personal life.
Although I had a few problems with the story, it had more to do with the fact that the movie was only 20 minutes. I think it would be interesting to see this story expanded to a feature-length movie.
Despite that problem, this is a nice, light, romantic comedy. Nothing more, nothing less.
