Jedyne, czego pragnie Dennis, to znaleźć prawdziwą miłość. Łatwo powiedzieć, trudniej zrobić, bo… Dennis jest chorobliwie nieśmiały. Co z tego, że jest kulturystą i wygląda jak Schwarzenegger w najlepszych latach, kiedy wobec kobiet czuje się bezradny? W dodatku ma nadopiekuńczą matkę, która nie zniosłaby innej kobiety u jego boku. Kiedy brat matki poślubia piękną dziewczynę z Tajlandii, Dennis postanawia wziąć sprawy w swoje ręce. Wydaje mu się, że w gorącym, egzotycznym kraju będzie miał więcej szczęścia do kobiet niż w zimnej Danii. Tętniąca życiem Pattaya okazuje się jednak dla niego prawdziwym szokiem kulturowym. Natarczywe Tajki, przyzwyczajone do seksturystów, burzą naiwne wyobrażenie Dennisa na temat prawdziwej miłości. Sfrustrowany, idzie rozładować napięcie do miejscowej siłowni. I wtedy spotyka kobietę swoich marzeń. (Aurora)

Unlike Virgin Mountain, which also follows the story of a shy, asocial grouch, Teddy Bear is blunt, without feeling or psychological detail. It’s as if the filmmakers wanted to show the intellectual simplicity of the protagonist with the emotional shallowness of narration. On the other hand, its script is pure and leads to a liberating destination without unnecessary twists.

As I watched, I thought the main character reminded me of something. And then I looked at the director’s filmography and everything became clear to me. Teddy Bear is something like an extended version of his short movie Dennis, which fascinated me back then. Well, I was just as intrigued by this film. Kim Kold plays a quiet, introverted good guy who has three times more muscles than I have fat on my belly. His performance is not bad, and the same goes for the story, which unfolds in a somewhat classic way, but you still keep hoping for a good ending. The Scandinavians are very good in these realistic life dramas, so I enjoyed this film to the maximum.

One of the many Nordic titles influenced by Trier's Dogma 95. A real environment, a handheld camera, and a believable and, in its own way, banal story devoid of any decorative and manipulative elements typical for entertaining film fiction. The film suggests the feeling of a documentary. Denis may command respect with his giant muscular physique, but he struggles in his romantic relationships and is under the influence of his dominant and manipulative mother. The years pass relentlessly, and Denis decides to escape from the seemingly comfortable environment of the "mom hotel" at all costs. He travels all the way to Thailand to find love and a new home. An encounter with his mother becomes inevitable. Teddy Bear is actually quite an ordinary film in terms of content, and I'm not sure if it would work as successfully if it didn't feature the striking presence of Kim Kold in the role of the gentle giant with a good heart, who moves us with his clumsiness. Overall impression: 60%.
