Synopsis: There are 47 1/2 families in Over-Eastside Hamilton,Georgia. The 1/2 family,The Berenstain Bears is only considered a half-family because they are bears.In this clever re-imagining of the Berenstain Bears, Too Tall Grizzly,once the school bully,comes home after visiting his dying brother in Chile, and is inspired to "make a difference in this place,you know what I mean?". He is saddened by the mistreatement of his current friends,yet former foes, the Berenstain Bear family,and is determined to improve their reputation. However,the Mayor won't have this,and his evil prescene intervenes.Could Dem Berenstain Bearz become "a full family" by the time that the 2010 Census comes around?

What the Press would say:
Lou Lumenick of the New York Post boasts "I've already watched this movie 23 times and I haven't gotten enough of it.And I don't think I ever will....it sticks to you...it makes you think,and you'll soon be raving yourself". Peter Hammond of Maxim has this to say "Can you say 'Top Contender for all the critics association awards known to man'?". He added,"There has been quite a hustle and bustle about the cast...relative newcomer Columbus Short especially deserves the praise that has been bestowed upon the actors". The splendid hip-hop score,composed by Swizz Beatz, is described as being insane.Whatever the controversy may be over the authenticity of "Dem Berenstain Bearz",Tim Robbins must be commended for his passion toward this dream project of his.
