    Great movie!
    I really liked this movie! I saw it 1 year ago, and it was really a very interesting movie! And not just because of Jonathan Taylor Thomas, when he wouldn't have been in it, I would have loved it as well! It looks very real, also the scenes with the bears! I just won the video, and I can't wait to see the movie again! You should really watch it!
