Did ya'll think this was going to be the greatest movie ever made? Did ya'll think this was going to surpass Schindler's List, The Godfather, the Dark Knight and Citizen Kane? This is meant to be a fun little reminder of our childhood and does not deserve the harsh hell it is getting, I mean if you hated it that much what would you have done different? What would you have done to make it more like the original cartoon which (I atleast thought) it already was? Garfield and Alvin and the Chipmunks were the same baic idea as this and they seemed to be met with better acceptance than this. So what exactly is it you wanted?

If people want to think it's lame that is their right. It IS a free country. I think the movie was poor, yes it's a kid movie but it just seemed lame and corny even for kids. How many kids do you know who want to see this? Are you a kid? Troll? Or a Yogi Bear nut or something? If you think this is great so be it. Leave those of us who disagree alone and SHUT THE P*H*UCK UP.

My issue is with people calling it lame without actually seeing it. Funniest thing, without exception, everyone I know who has gone to see it, has thought it was great family entertainment.

If you have seen it, and think it's lame, cool. If you have not seen it, then you are not entitled to have an opinion. Simple.

Unfortunately I did see it...while not completely terrible it's still a very low attempt to entertain kids. Considering that Toy Story 3, Despicable Me, and Tangled all came out this year and were actually well written kids' movies, this falls terribly flat in comparison. The big difference between this and the other kids' movies I mentioned is that the others seemed to have more dedication and effort put into them. This was clearly an attempt to cash in on the character of yogi bear and nothing more.

While I'd give Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me (MY FAVORITE kids movie of 2010) higher ratings than this, at least this film did not miss the essence of the cartoon in my opinion! :D

The Script was "by the numbers" as it is for any direct to the screen project that all studios do from some past source materal, IE: comic strips, kids books, classic TV shows. If they cannot come up with anything original, then leave it alone.

oh come on. If it was completely fresh and original you'd be complaining it wasn't similar enough to the source material. The movie is called 'Yogi Bear'. Of course their going to be inspired by the cartoon and comics

While i'm not opposed to them attempting adaptions, i have to be honest when i say i feel a lot of them miss the mark. As to me the major reason i still like the products to buy them and rewatch them is they work. And a lot of the charm is in what they were. While the live action films try to emulate them (this one admitably better than others, i don't find farting in Scooby Doo or Papa Smurf being drunk to even be funny in the first place) a lot of just feels to fall to the way side.

But if the films work and offer different interpretations, i don't think they do more harm then good. I didn't like Yo Yogi that much either, but i was never opposed to giving it a chance like i did this movie.

But i disagree on some of the earlier comments. Never been a fan of Toy Story, i was a kid in theaters for the first one and i saw a terribly lame movie then and still do. And their attempts to keep being touching as the series moved on just make it more embarrassing. Honestly i got more enjoyment out of the mistaken bought playset i got of it for one year at christmas then i ever did the films. I don't like over written attempts to make boring characters warm my heart being voiced by not-special celebrities taking roles away from more talented voice actors (thanks a lot for starting that sucky trend Pixar, if you all didn't market the hell outta "OMG Tom Hanks and Tim Allen voicing cartoon characters" maybe we wouldn't be in this mess)
