I was not disappointed in this film; basically I knew going in what it would be, very formulaic.
My only real gripe is the bear helping at the end - that was just too much. Well, the entire movie was a stretch in reality, but pulling on the rope was even too much for my kids to accept.
Also, when they got the dad over the cliff, he was barely up there and they started hugging. My wise seven year old said "They shouldn't be so close to the edge when they do that." We then imagined a different ending to the movie: bear rescues family, family hugs for joy, whoa....AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! they go tumbling to their deaths, and the final shot is of the bear, looking over the edge...
Good cheesy family flick. Not one I'm going to keep, but I don't feel cheated by watching it. I would be surprised if the kids ask to see it again.
