About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a lighthearted, animals-at-the-center family comedy with forest-saving stakes and plenty of silliness, but Not for you if you dislike rude or lowbrow humor or you’re expecting a smarter sequel like Yogi Bear or Tooth Fairy.
Pros: lots of family laughs; animal antics; sweet nature message | Cons: lowbrow humor; humor can tire; feels like a weak sequel
