Ted

Director: Seth McFarlane

Year: 2012

Language: English

Length: 1 hr and 46 mins (106 minutes)

Staring: Seth McFarlane, Mark Wahlberg. Mila Kunis, Joel McHale, Giovanni Ribisi, Patrick Stewart.

Plot:After a very special Christmas wish, John Bennett's teddy bear came to life and Ted has been by his side ever since. A best friendship that is put to the test when Lori, his long-term girlfriend, wants more from their relationship.

Review: Seth McFarlane wrote it, directed it and is staring in it? Jesus, awesome, what could be better? Oh and Mila Kunis, okay I'm listening. Mark Wahlber? Okay. And Parick Stewart is narrating? Oh. Okay, you win. Perfect cast.

Unlike most I've talked to, I went in with high expectations and boy, they were still just blow anyway. It was amazing! Hilarious, beginning to end.

Honestly, watching the trailer, I thought it would just be a long episode of Family guy (which I was still pretty excited for), but it wasn't. It really wasn't. I mean, obviously, it still had the similar style and tropes of anything by Seth McFarlane, the popular media references and celebrity appearances, but done with less class (somehow) and yet, miles better.

I like the fact that throughout the comedy and fun, it never felt like it was “dumbing it down” for the audience. The center relationships, between both Ted and John and Lori and John, were believable. The drama and Disney style ending were very well played out, despite it being a comedy it didn't take a dime away from it.

Quotes: 'Ted & John: Fuck you, Thunder! You can suck my dick!'
'Ted: [dressed in full suit] John, I look like something you give to your kid when you tell 'em Grandma died'
'John: [during flashback] Chris Brown can do no wrong!'
'Southern Newscaster: Look what Jesus did!'
'Ted: That's because their mouths were full of your wife's box.'
'Lori: There's a shit on the floor! Ted: Or, or, or, maybe, the floor is on the shit.'
'Ted: I look like Snuggles' accountant.'
'Narrator: No matter how big a splash you make in this world whether you're Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz, Justin Bieber or a talking teddy bear, eventually, nobody gives you a shit.'
And like everything else said in this movie xD

Overall Rating: 5/5
