A dumb story about a bear adopted by humans.

Reel Film Reviews
...the movie just might be worth a rental if only for the sight of watching Christopher Walken belt out a musical number using only his hand and his armpit.

'...both hokey and super-cool, and definitely not in a hurry, so sit back, relax and have a few laughs while the little ones get a fuzzy treat.'

Roanoke Times (Virginia)
Good music, creative twists and a moving performance by freaky Christopher Walken saved this potentially stinky kiddie film

Pic as a whole is a gently and genuinely amusing treat that should bring smiles to target auds.
If you're looking to take your children to something harmless, that doesn't embarrass anyone, this light comedy ... is your next outing.

It's an OK family diversion, but afterwards you'd be forgiven for wondering what's next from Disney: Pirates of the Caribbean?

Stuart Little 2 and Lilo & Stitch were respectable...in their own right, but The Country Bears is the most satisfying family film of the summer.

It's a diverting enough hour-and-a-half for the family audience.

While obviously aimed at kids, The Country Bears ... should keep parents amused with its low groan-to-guffaw ratio.

The movie is not as terrible as the synergistic impulse that created it.

Although I didn't hate this one, it's not very good either. It can be safely recommended as a video/DVD babysitter.
Arizona Daily Star
The disarming cornball atmosphere has a way of infecting the entire crowd as the film rolls on.

Lighten up everybody! The bears are cute, the music is good, and Christopher Walken is a gas!

Sun Newspapers of Cleveland
The message becomes the savior for "The Country Bears," an equal parts silly and sweet tale that wears its great big ol' heart on its grizzly-sized sleeve.

I want to make a lame joke that ends with Does a bear crap in the woods?, but all the bear crap is up on the screen.
