This week, pop culture critic Richard Crouse reviews new movies: 'Cocaine Bear,' 'We Have A Ghost,' 'Jesus Revolution' and 'Sharper'

This image released by Universal Pictures shows a scene from "Cocaine Bear," directed by Elizabeth Banks. This image released by Universal Pictures shows Keri Russell in a scene from"Cocaine Bear," directed by Elizabeth Banks. "Cocaine Bear," a grisly new hybrid of"Scarface" and"Yogi Bear" starring Keri Russell, O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Before buying a ticket to"Cocaine Bear" ask yourself this question: Am I likely to enjoy a movie called"Cocaine Bear"? I can tell you authoritatively that it is the best stoned bear movie of the year. Admittedly, it is a small field, but if that turns your crank, by all means check it out.The one-joke premise aside, the movie is a throwback to the slasher films of the 1980s.

When Frank finds Kevin's video of Ernest he senses a chance to make money off the wayward spirit. He sets up a YouTube channel, and soon Ernest's story has attracted the attention of millions of viewers, a television psychic and a C.I.A. agent determined to get to the bottom of this ghostly story. With its teen leads, sentimental underpinnings, paranormal experiences and family dynamics,"We Have a Ghost" aims for an Amblin kind of feel. It misses the mark, but provides enough good fun—although not for the youngest members of the family—to earn a recommend.This image released by Lionsgate shows Kelsey Grammer, left, and Jonathan Roumie in a scene from"Jesus Revolution."

"God is saving the hippies," says Frisbee,"and it is blowing everyone's mind because nobody thought the hippies could be saved." The story wanders into the wilderness when dramatic conflict, like Frisbee's clash of ego with Smith—"Not everything needs to be a spectacle," Smith scolds—and Laurie's romantic and familial issues take center stage. All stories need some sort of clash to maintain interest, but after an hour of peace and love, it feels forced.

It's the ONLY stoned bear movie of the year. Hopefully the last, too.

1990's. Disney showed 1, innocent 'high' scene when bear cub ate magic mushrooms in forest. Clouds of flowers fluttered above his head! Kids (& some adults) didn't even know what they were seeing but parents went ballistic. Decades later- Cocaine Bear. We've come a long way 🤔

30ACTruth It's the only stoned bear movie ever.

That may be…..but Paddington Bear 2 will be the best stoned bear movie of all time!

No thanks...not on a bet!!!!!👎

That's 'high' praise...

Who’s the star? JT?
