Product Description

Product Description

Dennis, a painfully shy 38-year-old bodybuilder, would really like to find true love. He has never had a girlfriend and lives alone with his mother in a suburb of Copenhagen. When his uncle marries a woman from Thailand, Dennis decides to try his own luck on a trip to Pattaya, as it seems that love is easier to find there. He knows that his mother would never accept another woman in his life, so he lies and tells her that he is going to Germany for a competition. Hectic Pattaya turns out to be a huge cultural shock for him. The intrusive Thai girls shatter Dennis' naive picture of what love should be like, and he is about to lose hope when he unexpectedly meets the woman of his dreams. There may be hope for him yet, if only he can confront his mother.

I have a hard time finding movies [on Prime] I actually want to watch. I took a chance on this one and was glad I did. I won't try to write an insightful or detailed review. I loved the "bro" moments when he and his mates were enjoying posing and pumping metal. More importantly, the guy wanted love, not just to get his rocks off, and, as we saw, some people find that surprising. I got worried when he got the apartment without telling his mom. Overall, well worth watching.

No violence ( I am tired of american Hollywood stereotype movies when one person is on top of the world and achieves it alone)
deep meaning movie reveals values in a person and points out in my understanding how some societies are impotent in certain ways, such as, women in his country will not even look at him and say hi.
I do believe, developed countries have that problem. USA (Chicago metro area), England, Italy my experience and observation s

4.0 out of 5 stars Perspective of Quiet Lifters
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2016

I watched the short-film, "Dennis" on YouTube which is popular among weight-lifting and body-building circles. Despite intimidating features, many body-builders are often introverted as seen portrayed in the film. I was excited to know that the somewhat sequel to the short-film is available on Amazon Prime. "Teddy Bear" delivers the same pacing and setting.

Kim Kold is an amazing actor. His performance was heartfelt and thoughtful. The actions and decisions made by the main character speak of character flaws that are understandable, because of the way the storytelling delivered the character traits. The way the film told the story was very well put together. There was no hand-holding or presenting. Elements in the film were simply laid out in front of the viewer to be judged. As people in the creative trades are told, "Show the viewer, don't tell the viewer." This film is a great example of showing the viewer the kind of life Dennis lives. The actor for the mother, Elsebeth Steentoft was also a great one. The character she portrayed was also incredibly flawed and hate-able in many ways, yet she showed a great amount of vulnerability that invokes pity. Her character may especially resonate for anyone who has a smothering parent.

I wouldn't say this is a film that someone watches in order to feel good. The film is intentionally uncomfortable throughout. I can really feel the depression and hopelessness in the daily life of the main character, and the awkwardness in some of the situations in which he finds himself. All-in-all, a very thoughtful piece. This movie makes a case for anyone who looks scary on the outside but is actually a .."Teddy Bear" on the inside.

I had to know why this guy behaved so strangely and by the end I found out. The man is amazing to look at. The mother was so convincingly insane. Lots of other interesting characters. I think I'd enjoy watching a series based on this guy and his life.

The only reason I was able to keep watching was because I've been through all of these situations before. It is a very dry, slow, somewhat eventless plot. At certain times i was just shaking my head, sighing, and saying out loud...what the heck are you doing? He is painfully shy, and the script does NOT have very much to it. Unfortunately, I thought he was just slow or socially inept. But from the plot summary, we would be lead to believe he is shy. Anyway. I did enjoy the way everything turned out, but it is sad the whole thing with his mom because this is the way some mothers live and behave. Enjoy.

I throughly enjoyed this film. Everyone needs someone to love and this man was willing to go outside his comfort zone to find a woman to connect with.

I absolutely love this movie. It's about a gentle giant of a body builder who is quite shy and lonely who lives with his controlling/over bearing mother. I didn't mind the subtitles at all because it was so engrossing. I think everyone should give this movie a try!

4.0 out of 5 stars A well acted and thought-provoking movie
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2019

A small well-made movie with an original story idea. I've never seen anything similar before. I have no idea how you would go about finding an actor to fit this part. I mean, do you look for an actor who has such an amazing build or do you find a bodybuilder who can also act? Either way, the actor/bodybuilder does an excellent job. The mother is overbearing and needy and refuses to let go. I felt sorry for her at the end and don't know why he couldn't have told her that if she accepted the fact he had a life to live and that she was going to have a daughter-in-law she was welcome to be part of the family. Maybe she would have come around. At least the writer could have made her do so.
