• Yogi and Boo-Boo (voiced perfectly by Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake) cause mischief at Jellystone Park with their hankerings for picnic baskets and breaking the status quo of being simple woodland creatures. Things get even more chaotic when paper-thin bad guy Andrew Daly (the town's mayor) wants to sell the park to land developers. As the titled character attempts to help his human friends (ranger Tom Cavanaugh and visiting documentary film-maker Anna Faris) save the park, everything seems to go hilariously wrong in ways that could only be perpetrated by the Hanna Barbera cartoon character. A rare turtle who serves as Boo-Boo's pet also ends up being a key plot device within. Likable mess for the most part which should please the younger of age groups and be tolerable for most hardened adults. The greatest asset are the bears and their voice characterizations as Aykroyd and Timberlake make the lovable characters their own and do eerily perfect imitations of the old cartoons. The people, on the other hand, are more miss than hit as they struggle through with keeping up the intensity of the bears and just cannot cope with a near-nothing screenplay which domino effects into uninspired direction. Good for a few laughs and good to put a smile on your face, "Yogi Bear" is a somewhat fun break from reality which tries to do what it can with several cinematic limitations. Likely would have been better 100% animated. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
