Summary
RATING: PG for wilderness adventure violence and some mild language
Starring Bryan Brown, Daniel Clark, Tom Jackson, and Brock Simpson
Young Harry is still dealing with the death of his mother when he joins his esrtranged father on an expedition to the Canadian Rockies to capture a grizzly. Harry gets separated from the group and must learn to fend for himself. While his father sets out to find him, the bear becomes somewhat of a companion, guiding Harry through the wilderness and teaching him how to survive in the wild.

Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
A series of stunts with bears and lots of stage fighting involving characters who are unambiguously good or evil.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Lawrence Van Gelder
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.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt
While the story and acting are the opposite of subtle, young moviegoers may enjoy the action and suspense.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
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.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Robin Rauzi
Cinematographer Thom Best never captures the glory of the Canadian Rockies, and the uncredited editing is jarring and unconvincing in key action sequences.
Chicago Tribune John Petrakis
(Kids) are likely to reject Grizzly Falls as though it were a piece of chewed-over bear fat.
New York Daily News Jack Mathews
To be avoided by anyone considering a vacation to anything wilder than a zoo.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Nicole Campos
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.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Lame stuntwork and subdued thrills indicate not just a low-budgeter, but a blindness to what target aud demands.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
A hapless family film that's too scary for little kids and too boring for everyone else.
