Review: Not Your Average Bear
No job and no prospects for a future. An average Joe gets creative in making a scheme to rob some armed guards.
Not Your Average Bear is a film driven by the increasing unemployment rate.
A mediocre man with little talent and capability goes to desperate measures to perform a robbery in order to provide himself with a sense of accomplishment.
Cliff Skelton clearly depicts the frustration people face within the job market, however some scenes are lackluster and distracting, straying away from the focal point of the film, and prompting questions from the audience.
