John Bennett, a man whose childhood wish of bringing his teddy bear to life came true, now must decide between keeping the relationship with the bear or his girlfriend, Lori. Seth McFarlane's Ted is way far from being a kid's film and please note and remember that for the rest of this review. Mark Wahlberg and Ted had a very good chemistry together, Mila Kunis was also pretty good and even tho the film is mostly nudity, drugs, alcohol and sexual references? It somehow works because it's actually funny and the actors did care for it plus Ted 2 was good too.
Greetings Movie Lovers and Movie Makers! This month we will be discussing "TED". When you are a fan of "Family Guy" and/or adult humor in general you get excited when you see a new RED BAND trailer for a comedy like "TED" and let me tell you I was on the edge of my seat with anticipation for this movie and watched the trailer several times showing it to my friends and laughing every minute. My high expectations where my downfall Jack "The Film Lover" says... "TED" was funny but not hilarious, I liked it, but I didn't love it. I expected more and maybe even too much, I wanted to have fun with this one, I wanted to feel like the cast & crew of "Family Guy " where going to elevate themselves to the big screen and get a standing ovation. I liked the movie; don't get me wrong but maybe they shouldn't have tried so hard to NOT be like "Family Guy" would it be so wrong to add a little more "Family Guy"? even some cutaways would have been great. It's a fun movie and has its cute parts and is a pretty good buddy comedy, especially if you are a child of the 80's and know your movies, there are awesome references in there of some of the greats oh and "Flash Gordon" too. Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis where great together and have a nice balance and chemistry on screen, Ted was funny as I expected him to be and the three of them do create a good comedic balance. Oh and let's not forget the amazing party scene and one of the best fight scenes ever captured on film, I mean it's right up there with the bath house fight scene in "Eastern Promises" what? You haven't seen that movie? Well get a bottle of vodka ready and watch it! It's amazing! Jack "The Filmmaker" says "TED" is a tough one, when making a movie to please the fans you have from a different form of media (Movie from TV show) you either have to add more of that media or nothing at all there is no in between. When Trey Parker and Matt Stone did "Team America" they added tons of "South Park" and got a great comedy. When Mike Judge made "Office Space" he added nothing of "Beavis & Butthead" or "King of the Hill" and people didn't respond well. Not until a new cult following that has revived one of the greatest movies of all time. But in 1999? It was disappointing, and now with "TED" I think we needed more "Family Guy" not just a couple of hint voices here and there and seeing the cast in live action form but a lot more! Or nothing at all. I Love Seth MacFarlane but it took me a while to start retraining my brain to believe I was not listening to Peter Griffin's voice but Ted's voice! Giovanni Ribisi is a great actor but oh boy did he make this movie awkward at times, I wanted to laugh! Not feel uncomfortable. Oh and Jack "The Parent" says Take no kids to this movie! Well maybe if you have a cool teenager and you want to have a hang out night with them, there are some raunchy jokes in there that might make the living room on family movie night get real quiet and awkward. Late teens will probably get more of the jokes than you do and in that case you might want to take one with you to explain things. God bless the internet!
After watching the movie many times i can assure you that it is very offensive and at first pretty stupid. But similar to Family Guy, Ted is an ingenious work of art. With great satire and acting you manage to feel sad when Ted is ripped in half and almost killed. Ted is like a family guy movie, with similar humor and actors. While many criticize Ted for its plain dumbness and offensive humor, i believe that those factors contribute to the story of. We live in a society of political correctness where nothing can be offensive. All of Seth McFarlane's work, including Ted. pushes those limits making it a movie that is extremely hilarious and won't leave you feeling disappointed when you are done watching.
it is unclear at what age group is targeted, too stupid for an adult, too vulgar for a kid.What makes us Mark Wahlberg? too serious to make a film that should be comical, Economic crisis? middle-age crisis? I do not know.Seth MacFarlane proves unfit to make a film, has good ideas, but for a cartoon.despite there are a talking teddy bear, the jokes are lacking, the humor of the film falls on gags from B Movies American comedy 80sThis film can intrigue (For the teddy bear) but after 15 Minutes becomes commonplace
