Ted

Considering Seth MacFarlane's criminally hillarious Family Guy is already pretty uncensored, I was pretty intrigued to see how he would fare with all boundaries being thrown out the window in a feature length movie with all censorship being sent to Hell. It stars Mark Wahlberg as John, an immature pothead with a talking teddy bear named Ted as a best friend a girlfriend named Lori (Mila Kunis) who wants John to grow up and leave his teddy behind. Obvious conflicts occur over what John wants to do for himself as opposed to what Lori wants John to do. Though the movie has the tendency to feel like a stretched 30 min skit and I don't feel that Wahlberg was necessarily the most...humorous as the lead, the material has an undeniable fuck you charm and humor that I enjoyed. Ted has a pretty good balance of nasty, smartass, and pop culture references to give something to people with all different types of sense of humor. Not a bad start for a feature length movie despite the tendency to feel as crammed as a turkey.

2/4
