Widowed man (Priestley) with his second wife (Roth) and daughter from his first marriage take a boat ride and get into a storm, which destroys the craft and puts them in the wilderness for a few days. Bear chases them; second wife turns into survivalist capable of doing just about anything. Bratty daughter learns some lessons in how to behave. It's been done before and better. The film is not terrible, but it's not all that great. The acting is mediocre, writing is mediocre, scenery is beautiful, bear is scary. I'm still trying to figure out how the woman and guy's daughter manage to find heavy weight hiking boots to traipse through the woods after the boat crash. Who wears heavy-duty leather hiking boots on a boat ride? Perhaps this is explained somewhere and I just nodded off at the time.
