(2012) [Trailer]
Director: Mads Matthiesen [IMDB]
This came in the form of a recommendation from my trusted source for all things movie related... so trusted in fact that I can not reveal his (of her) identity. I was told this was a gem, a diamond in the rough if you will... and you will.
Synopsis: Dennis is an aging pro body builder who is socially challenged when it comes to hooking up with the ladies. So he decides to go to Thailand where the easy women flow like a full bodied Bordeaux.
Teddy Bear is an extremely enjoyable film and really easy on the viewer. At no point during its run time did I feel bored or removed. It grabs you instantly and brings you on a weird little journey into a world that is captivating and it almost seems real... like a quasi documentary at times. Kim Kold is very affable and pulls out a a performance which is unexpected and raw. I hope to see him in other things in the future.
I can't think of any real negatives at all... it's partly in Danish and partly in English, so if you don't like to read while you watch TV, skip it. Other than that, get going... it's on Netflix instant and it's a winner.
