Yogi Bear is smarter than the average bear. Too bad this movie isn't smarter than the average movie. But then it is based on a popular cartoon from my childhood so its not like the film is reaching for Pixar level greatness. The film-makers have gone the Scooby Doo route throwing a CG Yogi and Boo Boo in the real world, but thankfully, this film works more successfully. Credit Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake for their ability to capture the true spirit of Yogi and Boo Boo as characters. Tom Cavanagh and Anna Faris are stock but charming as the film's human leads. The disposable plot finds Yogi and Boo Boo aiding the Ranger in an effort to keep a smarmy politician from closing down the campground. Will they ever succeed? Lets just say that "unpredicatble" is not part of this film's vocabulary but again, its aimed primarily at the kids so I can't fault it for that. Yogi Bear is silly and generic but its virtually harmless and therefore recommendable family fluff.
