Bear with Us
Bear with Us is a crazy romp about a guy who attempts to propose to his girlfriend in the most romantic way possible, but his plan starts to fall apart when a Ravenous bear stumbles on their charming cabin in the woods. Think "Jaws" but much funnier and with a bear instead of a shark. It's a total comedy of errors that takes a comical look at just how far we'll go to preserve our relationships.
