Sometimes you love a movie "just because". For me, this includes movies like The Swimmer (Burt Lancaster, 1968), and Somewhere in Time (Christopher Reeve 1980), and Garden State. Jack the Bear is like that. I found it captivating and fascinating. This is an artistic movie that takes some risks. If it "works" for you at all, then it might work very well. In any case, if you are a DeVito fan, you must see this. He is the essential DeVito; who else could have carried off this role. I like this movie more than most.
I heard a reviewer in Denver, who's name is Reggie, say that a Good Movie lets you put down your "bags" for a few hours. A Great Movie causes you to look into your bags. This movie was the latter.
