I got a good sense of it and agree that the tatoos and bodybuilding aspect of his personality might not gel with the rest of him. <br />Mothers do wield a great power over their sons, and I am very careful about this, personally, and try to let them be 'their own men' as much as I can while still supporting them. It can be a delicate balance.

I'm sure there are some bad foreign movies too, but some of the best movies we've seen are foreign. Netflix has a pretty good selection. I don't think there are many rental stores anymore. If there are, I haven't been to one in years!

The name Teddy Bear does not conjure up an image of a body builder. Other than that it seems like it would be a great story. I love movies that leave you thinking long after the movie is over.
