Waste of time

Don't listen to the negative reviews

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Apparently quite beloved in its native Poland, this is a very amusing, sometimes over the top satire of life under the bureaucracy of communism. The president of a soccer club tries to hold things together when his wife destroys his passport just before he has to leave a trip to play in the UK, so she can beat him there and steal some money they stashed away. Everyone is playing and coning everyone else, with sometimes unpredictable results.Not a great film, but a breezy enjoyable one.

I have visited Poland and have experienced the atmosphere of Polski culture and humour and I have many friends in Poland and in UK. I struggled to learn very limited polsku vocabulary, barely enough to survive alone in Poland. Fortunatelly, millions of Polaky have been learning English during the past decade. Anyway about "Teddy Bear" (english name), Polsku font is required to type "MÍS" correctly. The movie is funny, very, very, funny, graphically hilarious, all the actors are comic. I laughed my head off all the way through and watched it twice to catch the bits I missed because my eyes were watering. Early on the motorcar that the is designed and manufactured in Poland, I think it's called: "Trápánt" (please excuse if that name is incorrect). Literally explodes to pieces from the sudden gust of exhaled breath when a man sneezes within it. Tak, visually funny and meaningful. I will tell you, the Pols look upon owning 1 of these cars as the last resort to being vehicular mobile. You see them everywhere but nobody will admit to owning one! I wont spoil your fun by explaining any further. Just watch Mís and you'll enjoy it. Don't worry about the language, it's not a barrier, funny is funny, in any language. You will imagine the conversations taking place. Great Movie Top marks.

This is a must-see movie, only of its kind! Every scene is EXTREMELY comic! However, non-Polish people may have problems with understanding it. You cannot fully understand it, if you have seen it only once. Second time is better! And third! And fourth! Etc... I have seen this movie 20 times, or maybe more. And every time I was joking! And every time it was even better... :-) Some of the scenes seem to be completely nonsense, but in fact they are all based on real life in Poland in 1980's. And that's why it is yet more funny! There are a lot of jokes and gags, which seem to be absurd, but they are real-life jokes! You know - it's something like Monty Python in reality. :-)

If you live in the USA or Western Europe, you probably cannot realize how the life was beyond the Iron Curtain. Here is the answer. This movie is a comedy, so some things are exaggerated, however, not much. This is a story about people living in socialism. You can see a tree of human dependencies, everyone has someone who is under him, and someone, whom he is afraid of. No-one is going to do anything, only when it gives him profits. No-one is going to make a decision, everyone needs instructions to act. This might be not understandable for people from the West, but really is in Poland. The main character is a sport club president. He has lots of people in his hand, but one day his wife becomes a lover of some minister. She's trying to get money from their account in London. It is necessary to him to be the first. But he has his passport destroyed (it was almost impossible to get a new one in those times), so he finds another way to get the money. He will use all people he can to reach his goal.
