　　Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
　　Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
　　As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
　　The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
　　Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.

　　Two estranged brothers come together and discover old family secrets after inheriting their grandfather's property. As their friends start to go missing, they fear they are being stalked by a creature lurking in the shadows.

　　【小熊历险记】（YellowstoneCubs）是迪斯尼1963年推出的一部TV电影，早年迪斯尼曾经拍过一系列以真实动物为主角的纪录片『真实世界历险记』，后来迪斯尼又于1957年时推出了一部有剧情的野外纪实片【小松鼠】（Perri），但这些当时都是在戏院首度推出的电影。到了迪斯尼开始用心经营电视频道，跟美国ABC频道买下时段制播专门的TV电影（『迪斯尼奇妙世界』系列作品），【小熊历险记】也是其中之一，但这片却是跟【小松鼠】同样的野外纪实动物剧情片。
　　像【小熊历险记】这样的野外纪实剧情片拍摄起来是十分困难的，不但必须像拍摄纪录片般从旁捕捉镜头，还要加上想像力叙述成一个吸引人的故事。【小熊历险记】故事就是关于黄石公园里的两只小黑熊Tuffy和Tubby，他们意外跟熊妈妈走散了，于是整个夏季就在黄石公园里四处冒险，希望能和妈妈重逢，另一方面，熊妈妈也在找寻她的两位小宝贝，跟随他们留下的足迹寻觅而来。
　　【小熊历险记】全片都是在美国黄石公园中实地拍摄，由Charles L. Draper担任执导，剧本则是由Ralph Wright所完成，全片是由Rex Allen负责旁白叙述故事，配乐则是由曾经配乐过许多部早年迪斯尼电影的Paul J. Smith所负责。本片并没有在美国的一般市面上发行影音产品，而是只有推出给迪斯尼电影俱乐部的会员独家订购而已。
　　【小熊历险记】在台湾没有发行过任何影音产品，也还未曾在台湾的迪士尼频道上播出过。
