    While the story and acting are the opposite of subtle, young moviegoers may enjoy the action and suspense.

    Combines old-fashioned boys' adventure with a heavy-handed modern lecture on parenthood. The film possesses a decent heart but suffers from a simple mind.

    A series of stunts with bears and lots of stage fighting involving characters who are unambiguously good or evil.

    A preposterous wilderness adventure (the kind that makes kids think sneaking into the zoo's bear pit is a cool idea) laid over a touchy-feelie story about good parenting.

    To be avoided by anyone considering a vacation to anything wilder than a zoo.

    When you don't find yourself wondering about dialogue that's drowned out by rushing rivers and footfalls in the brush, something is very wrong.
  9. Variety

    Lame stuntwork and subdued thrills indicate not just a low-budgeter, but a blindness to what target aud demands.
  10. New York Post
    Reviewed by: Lou Lumenick

    A hapless family film that's too scary for little kids and too boring for everyone else.
