Ted

I went for the advanced screening and didn't expect that much from the movie. I knew it would be a good comedy with R rated jokes and didn't know that it would be emotional too!

My wife almost started crying in one scene and suddenly laughed like anything .. Story line is predictable but the main strength lies in dialog, acting and screenplay!

I think people will enjoy this movie and I am already seeing after reading the other's review.

I can only say that your money will not be waste and you will enjoy the movie!

Ted has gained popularity in India due to its light and charming nature, earning a place on my watchlist for nearly a decade. Since it was leaving the OTT platform, I finally decided to indulge myself anticipating a great movie.

It began promisingly. Mark Wahlberg's remarkable acting skills were evident, although this might not be his finest work. Mila Kunis was also appreciated in her role.

The movie unfolds with a series of conflicts, but it becomes evident that these conflicts will arise between the protagonist and his relationship with his girlfriend considering there was a ted / the best friend. The predictable nature revolves around these conflicts with Ted eventually making up for them.

The film provides light-hearted comedy, and Ted's character, with his crazy antics, adds a sense of enjoyment. However, the movie failed to meet my expectations, feeling rather average.

In essence, Ted offers a fun and enjoyable experience, predominantly relying on comedy to entertain the audience. If you appreciate comedy, the film is likely to amuse you, but those seeking more substance may find it less engaging.

The movie is fun, especially for the humor it handles, which is quite strong at times.

Ted is a teddy bear that came to life and was a success, all the channels wanted to interview him and everyone wanted a picture with him, but like everything, after a while people forget about him and Ted is no longer popular.

The movie is entertaining, I recommend it.

Whilst I did not dislike 'Ted' I cannot say I was overly impressed by it. The hype and popularity that built up towards the film's release had me expecting something fresh, something that would keep me laughing days after. To my disappointment, 'Ted', to me, turned out to just another Rom-Com, its only real unique twist being Ted himself.

Having said that, 'Ted' did provide some good laughs, whilst they weren't exactly side-splitting the film was entertaining and I did watch the entire feature without getting bored or uninterested. The animations for Ted were of a good quality, doing a good job in making it seem like Ted was actually there with the actors, rather than just a computer-generated 3D image.

What I felt let 'Ted' down was it's predictability and lack of memorable or unique laughs. Being rated as a 15, 'Ted's plot didn't seem to suit it's targeted audience, I have seen similar story lines in films rated PG or even U but the explicit content of 'Ted' was clearly intended for more mature audiences, therefore I felt it deserved a more mature plot.

Overall, I'd recommend 'Ted' to those who are looking for a relatively light-hearted story with a few giggles added in and a cursing, yet somehow still lovable, teddy bear. It's good, but nothing overly special.

Seth MacFarlane's debut feature film, Ted, is an outrageously funny and surprisingly heartfelt comedy that blends raunchy humor with an unexpectedly sweet story about friendship and growing up. Known for his work on Family Guy, MacFarlane brings his signature style of irreverent humor, pop culture references, and boundary-pushing jokes to life in this unconventional buddy film.

The movie revolves around John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a man-child in his 30s who, as a lonely child, made a Christmas wish that his teddy bear, Ted (voiced by MacFarlane), would come to life. Miraculously, the wish was granted, and Ted became his best friend. Fast forward to the present day, and Ted's crude personality and refusal to mature have become major obstacles in John's relationship with his girlfriend, Lori (Mila Kunis).

Mark Wahlberg delivers a solid comedic performance, embracing the silliness while bringing a grounded, everyman quality to John that makes him relatable. Mila Kunis, as Lori, serves as the moral compass and voice of reason, giving the film a needed emotional anchor without being a nagging or one-dimensional character. Her chemistry with Wahlberg feels authentic, making their relationship struggles believable and sympathetic.
