I finally figured out how it's watchable

For some reason I rank this one so low among others in the Maneater series but for some reason I couldn't figure out why it was watchable.

I watch it over and over and each time I think less of the characters and root for the bear each and every time. It's not that great of a film but then I actually read the credits

and saw it was directed by David DeCoteau.....all answered he can make even the most lamest things watchable.
