Ted

I really should start this with a warning: This film is not for everyone! If you are easily offended (by swearing, sexual references, casual racism and various stereotypes) then you should read no further and give this one a miss. However, if you are a fan of Seth MacFarlane's other projects (Family Guy, American Dad) and maybe you call yourself an "80's child" (so many pop culture references to this time) you are going to love this.

Sure some parts are a little disjointed, the story seems vaguely familiar and the "moral" of it kind of gets lost but quite frankly, it's just so darn funny none of that matters. The script is hilarious, the cameos are fantastic and the soundtrack is perfect.

Ted himself is well animated and Seth (apart from sounding a little like Peter Griffin) voices him with the usual competence. Mark Wahlberg delivers exactly what we have come to expect from him, and the rest of the cast seem to have had fun filming, which comes across in the various performances no matter how big or small. The acceptance and interaction of everyone with a living teddy-bear adds to the simple joy of this film, and you find yourself happy to watch and not question why nobody is fazed by this. TED is a laugh a minute, party of a film and I, for one, can't wait to see it again.

Really funny at at times really stupid, Ted is not only extremely well performed by its all-star cast and an extremely satirical and stupidly funny film, its script and direction is also impressive, the music and touch is perfect which all makes for a very watchable and humorous comedy, the movie does still repeat itself and does feel tiring and slow-moving at times.

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.

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!

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.
