Teddy takes a decent concept and rushes it to the screen without bothering to get the script right, and the result is a few good gags mixed with lots of caricature and phony sentiment.

Audience Reviews for Looking for Teddy (Le Doudou)

Apr 08, 2019

I managed to catch a screening of Le Dou Dou at the French Film Festival, and the hall was packed! Le Dou Dou (Looking for Teddy) is an uplifting French comedy of a search for a teddy bear lost in the airport. While it comes across as a silly caper filled with gags and nonsense, underlying this is a subtle social commentary of the poverty of French migrants who eke out a living as airport employees and such, while trying to hustle a few more Euros or dates with air stewardesses. The chemistry between the two lead actors is what makes the film engaging. Why that teddy is so important brings the tale to a touching conclusion that would bring a tear to your eye. Catch it if you can.
