Dan Aykroyd is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Available now on HBO Max Amazon Channel — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Yogi Bear earns its spot. Yogi Bear gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. A documentary filmmaker travels to Jellystone Park to shoot a project and soon crosses paths with Yogi Bear, his sidekick Boo-Boo, and Ranger Smith. The chemistry Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Yogi Bear came out in 2010. Yogi Bear earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Yogi Bear. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Dan Aykroyd anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
