The Country Bears
Threat advisory: Under evaluation
Movie propaganda
They're legends. Bearly.
Like so many other bands of their era and stature, the members of the legendary group, The Country Bears, were torn apart by the perils of their own success: ego, women, jealousy and a little too much honey. In the 1970s, The Country Bears - brothers Ted (Brian La Rosa) and Fred Bedderhead, Tennessee O'Neal (Julianne Buescher) and Zeb Zoober - pioneered a unique southern rock sound that still influences music today. After ten years of separation and unfulfilling existences, the band has now reunited to film their first major motion picture. The Country Bears is the story of a band reuniting to save their birthplace.
Greedy banker Reid Thimple (Christopher Walken) is about to foreclose on the historic Country Bear Hall - unless the group's one-time manager and an eager young fan, Beary Barrinson (Haley Joel Osment), can convince the bitter ex-members of the rock band to put aside their differences and perform a benefit concert to save the musical venue.
