Summary: Tyler is a young gay actor trying to make it in New York City.  But he has a secret, he likes Bears.  As he finally steps into the bear community, he makes new friends and finds a daddy bear, Roger, he cannot resist.  In addition he comes out to his best twink friend as well.  Douglas Langway takes us through a bear Sex In The City type story addressing issues such as “spicing up” a long term relationship, weight loss, and finding that special someone.

For all intents and purposes, while our “hero” is this a twink trying to come out into the bear community, this also follow the story of two other couple as well.  Michael being such a large guy is having trouble finding a job.  He expects it’s because of his weight and he make a decision to have lapband surgery.  His boyfriend Carlos is discusted by this and they have a break.  Meanwhile Fred and Brent have been together for 4 years and Fred has thought about opening up the relationship.  Also, we have Roger, a super hot daddy bear, who seems to be a devoted bachelor.  Our hero Tyler has different plans for Roger, but can he.

Overall the story of BearCity is nice, not a fantastic new story, but showing it in a different community, one which I don’t think has been shown very often. It also addresses a gay man’s second coming out into the bear community.  Over all the film is not a great film by any accounts, but it has a sweet and tender and funny moments that makes me recommend it.

3.5 Rounded up to 4 Stars.
