Review of "Ted"

In The Little Princess, a father explains to his daughter that when she's not looking, all her toys come to life, only to return to their inanimate selves when she tries to look at them. Of course, Pixar's Toy Story films told the same fantasy with charming characters and a witty script. Now that we've all grown up, we have a new film to satisfy our dreams: Seth MacFarlane's tale of a little boy who wishes his teddy bear to life.

Ted
Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane
Directed by Seth MacFarlane
My Opinion: Take it lightly, but it's a trip.

Just like the original Toy Story fans, that little boy and his toy have grown up, and the romance of bear-come-to-life has outlived its sweetness. Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) has become a foul mouthed, jobless stoner who depends on his best friend, John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg). The problem is John has a serious, and seriously hot, girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis) who wants John to grow up. But as long as John has his teddy bear, he'll always be a little boy. So, Ted has to move on with his life. That means getting a job and an apartment of his own - that's when the fun starts.

Ted is exactly what you want it to be. It's a pretty stupid movie, but it's hilarious from the beginning. While it does turn surprisingly serious towards the end, it's necessary for the movement of the plot. For best results, Ted is best taken with a lot of alcohol, a little weed, and a lot of people who are in the mood for stupid laughter. Don't get it from RedBox with your boyfriend for a romantic Thursday night because you'll just think it's fucking stupid. This movie needs some social vigor to go down smoothly.
