BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The Movie Diorama I like MacFarlane. 'Family Guy' was one of the first animations to genuinely make me laugh, his profane use of comedy felt refreshing. Over ten years later, his comedy hasn't changed and those who grew up with his crude dialogue have now become fully adjusted. This leaves Ted feeling somewhat empty, despite the fluffy stuffing. A young lonely boy wishes for his teddy bear to be his friend, one night his anthropomorphic toy comes to life where they still remain best friends 27 years later. However, the inclusion of a girlfriend rapidly causes a rift between this friendship. "Bros before hoes" is the theme here, an everlasting common message in buddy comedies. Romances do not last forever (unless you're lucky), so stick with the bromance and everything will be great. Except, the whole point of the film is diminished in the last act when both the romance and bromance are equally balanced. But let's not read too much into the core of this comedy, after all it features a talking teddy bear. MacFarlane's feature length directorial debut contains an extreme amount of creativity and technical flair. The motion capture was decent, directing was solid where he dabbles into a variety of styles (including a car chase) and the acting was fine. The problem with MacFarlane is that he just does too much. His famed voice acting career has left his talent specifically trademarked to Peter Griffin, so for him to voice a teddy bear makes it rather difficult to not envisage the lead character of 'Family Guy'. Then he also decides to write the script, which unfortunately didn't make me laugh once. This shouldn't come as a surprise to most, but despite the promised obscenity it felt rather placid. This is simply because we are used to his style of comedy now, he needs to evolve. Profanity isn't funny anymore, intelligent wittiness is what cracks people up. I shan't be saying "I love you" to this film due to its lacklustre screenplay and outdated message, yet it still remains watchable.

Michael Ledo There is nothing like a foul mouthed teddy bear to make for a great movie. Personally I think Zach Galifianakis would have made a better Ted, but then again he has played the dysfunctional buddy role before. As a child John (Mark Wahlberg) wishes for and gets a talking teddy bear. Now that they are in their 30's neither one has grown out of their immaturity with Ted becoming an increasing problem.John's girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis) demands that either Ted leaves or she goes. The humor is what one would expect from watching "Family Guy" with a lot of adult language. It spoofs other films and is critical of many aspects of society. It is politically incorrect. Like "Family Guy" some of the bits work and some don't. If you don't find one bit funny wait a minute and a new one comes along.Excessive f-bombs, sex, heavy drug use, no nudity.

Sean Payne I own a copy of this film on Blu ray Not for children very vulgar language expressive inappropriate themes Sexualy explicit subject mater, this film I for Adults a gut splitting experience funny from the start to finish Even though I am not really a Seth Macfarlane fan can't really stand him but this film overcomes that hate because of it,s funny nature, the jokes are NOT meant for young ears, the puppet work, is amazing Ted looks Very real.

Claire Finlay Don't usually like animated films but I absolutely loved this movie! I love Mark Wahalberg movies I think has great. I wished I had a talking teddy when I was wee lol I don't understand how so many people hate this movie. The second movie was funny too. :) I love the humour in this movie. U get a good laugh with this movie.
