It's not hard to see what attracted director Marshall Herskovitz (TV's thirtysomething) and writer Steve Zaillian (Schindler's List) to this tragicomic story of a widower trying to keep life together for his two young sons. And Danny DeVito gives them a surprisingly sympathetic and low-key performance that capably blends pathos and humor. But the story--about Jack's attempts to get his drinking under control, even while holding down a job as a late-night TV horror-movie host--descends into bathos. Then it gets downright weird and scary when the family's strange neo-Nazi neighbor (a popeyed Gary Sinise) takes an unhealthy interest in one of the children. Jack the Bear sat on the shelf for a couple of years while Herskovitz reworked it, but it was like changing the tires on a car with a broken drive-train. --Marshall Fine

An excellent film (play on words) about a twelve year old boy, Jack whose coming of age struggles with his anger over his mother's death and his father's outlandish behavior. Jack also struggles with a silent fear on his street that terrorizes the children.

I love Danny Devito movies so you can imagine my disappointment when I was unable to view "Jack the Bear" on T.V. Everytime this picture comes on T.V. it is on a cable channel that we don't have. I'm glad I finally got to view it again and finally I can share it with my family.

I did not get to see this movie because my mailman stole it. Oh, that's right. Stole it. My girlfriend moved out. He thought everyone did, so he just kept whatever he was to deliver at my house!!! If I had to do over again I would have sent it UPS, at least they are not scumbags.

This is a great family movie. I watched it as a kid and it is even better then I remembered it. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

Danny DeVito and Gary Sinease are good but it is the kids in this movie that steal the show.
