I'm going to keep this short:

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Nothing in it was funny, I cannot believe there are people that found this humorous at all. Save you $.

The premise is simple- a teddy bear comes alive and grows up to be a swearing, alcoholic slacker. It's a great idea, and while the movie occasionally feels like a series of skits, it's hard to complain when the jokes are this funny. If you don't like crude humour, then this won't make you laugh. But if you're a McFarlane fan - and I certainly am - you're in for a treat. Overall, Ted is a very funny, if unevenly structured comedy and one of the funniest movies of 2012. Expand

Não sei como tem gente que gosta desse filme. Além de ser de mau gosto, tem um roteiro horrível e uma história meio que fajuta.Só a cena final que salva, mas ela é bem extrapolada também.

WHAT I LIKED: It's genuinely, properly hilarious and may have you laughing out loud, and the characters are well fleshed out

With that sweet and moving opening about X-mas wish, I never thought it would be a harsh joke movie. I like it, tho. It's funny. Just don't understand why Seth tries to change the image of Teddy Bear? Well, maybe this is where the basic joke lays.
Btw, i don't really approve Mila and Mark as a couple here. They're like coming from a different generation to me

In this film for some reason Seth MacFarlane has used Sam L. Jones of 'Flash Gordon' fame in what seems to be some kind of agreement to try and reboot his career. Well that's how it comes across to me anyway, no other reason for him being there really. I'm guessing its in a typical 'Family Guy' style just to have random off the wall moments with cameos.

So Seth MacFarlane breaks into the movies with this 'Family Guy' orientated comedy. I say 'Family Guy' orientated because even though it has nothing to do with FG the main character of Ted sounds just like Brian and Peter from FG (yes I know that's how MacFarlane sounds in reality), he wrote it with FG writers, plus he utilizes FG voice actress Mila Kunis also, so its home from home in a way.

I expected this to be totally downright funny and hilariously filthy, it was but not as much as I hoped for. Yes there are some grand bits of dialog that sound so cynical and sharp with MacFarlane's well spoken tones but they are few and far between.

Even the swearing isn't as cool as you would think. At first you think its gonna be awesome to finally here Peter and Brian Griffin use bad profanity but it wains fast. At first its highly effective but as time passes the novelty where's off. Its like a sexy sultry woman dressed in a tight skimpy revealing outfit, its amazingly hot and never fails to keep you excited. Then you see the same woman completely naked...straight away she no longer becomes as hot because all the mystery is gone, she's right there in the buff with nothing left to hide.

So in other words when we see Family Guy without swearing its actually more effective than if it had swearing, because it makes you use your imagination and I think comes across funnier. It works for this film (at times) I'm just saying hearing MacFarlane swear wasn't as funny as I thought it would be (can anyone beat Cartman in those stakes?). Hope you all get what I'm saying.

As for the rest its kinda average really, nothing much happens in the film until the finale which does get a whole lot better. Kudos to Giovanni Ribisi with his excellent Norman Bates style father character, easily the best thing to watch towards the end. The sequence where he is dancing in front of the TV to Tiffany is creepy as fudge plus hilarious at the same time...yet I'm not sure why, I think it was the pelvic moves.

There are a few weirdly eerie moments in the film, probably down to the fact its based around a living teddy bear. The point where Ted fights Wahlberg is kinda creepy in a disturbing horror type way. I reckon its suppose to be a take on the sequences in 'Family Guy' where Peter fights that large chicken character (seems to use the same sound effects too). Was it suppose to be funny?! Seeing Ted having sex, being with hookers and dating hot women is also rather odd, why would a real woman wanna go out with a teddy bear?? Yes its a fantasy film but really?

Other than that it does satisfy to a degree, its just not as good as it could of been methinks. Ending was sweet but totally predictable lame fluff, Wahlberg was miscast in my opinion (the guy can't act, why does no one see this?!) and clearly MacFarlane has a 'Flash Gordon' fetish. He stuck Sam Jones in there why again? (looks good for his age though, can't deny that).

Sorry for comparing 'Family Guy' to this so much, hard not to really...oh and for typing it a a lot too.

The story of a crazed fanatic who attempts to steal Ted takes center stage and the movie becomes a straightforward chase picture. The jokes stop falling flat, but only because they stop showing up at all.

Ted hearkens back to the days of Golden Age Family Guy when humor was something that the audience could actually understand enough to laugh at and not just uttering the word ''DOOKIE''over and over again.

The film pushes the envelope more than it needs too at times, but the rest of it's jokes are honest enough to find funny while staying true to the creative nuance of the film's premise.

A terrorist attack on our values ​​as a society.

This film tells the story of John Bennett and his teddy bear. On a beautiful Christmas, and thanks to a desire he asked, this teddy bear came to life. However, as it's not very common to see a grown man with his absolutely delinquent teddy bear, this friendship is destined to pass by severe difficulties.

This film was an idea of ​​Seth MacFarlane, who signs "Family Guy," an American series of humor for adults. And in fact, only a head as damaged and distorted like his could think of ruining the teddy bears, a symbol of our childhood and innocence, putting one of them to do a huge amount of obscenities in a two-hour movie. The film puts Ted to behave like an idiot, to swear and say profanities as if he were reciting Shakespeare instead, and to use drugs and drinking as the world were to end tomorrow and the best thing to do was to turning back in human evolution. In addition to this authentic apology to animality, imbecility and consumption of drugs and alcohol, the film also puts Ted practically defending the "theory" that being a pervert is simply great, and a great proof of manhood.

I don't consider myself an ultraconservative nor a moralist, but the truth is our society didn't need this kind of movies. There are more interesting ways of doing comedy. To making people laugh isn't need to attack the moral and social values ​​in which we create our children and stand our nation. We live in days of great confusion, it seems that what is evil has become good. And movies like this only serve to prove it.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People have said this is like an extended episode of Family Guy and I suppose it is like that, in as much as it features frequent strong or coarse language, sexual innuendos and overly exaggerated characters, with pop culture references throughout. I say the characters are overly exaggerated in terms of being stereotypes, so for example there's the token fat kid, the busty love interests, the somewhat dim boss and so on. There are also a few references to drugs, so bare that in mind. The movie carries a 15 certificate, which is more than fair in my eyes - its certainly not for kids, even though the front cover could make it seem appealing to them.

There is a plot of sorts but its fairly tedious, I'd say. The main character John Bennett isn't exactly someone you naturally root for - he seems pretty selfish and lazy and if it weren't for the obvious novelty factor in his childhood buddy Ted, then there wouldn't be any real appeal in the movie or main incentive to watch it overall, I wouldn't have thought, although possibly teen boys (who this movie is probably mainly targeted at) might still get a kick out of it for the profanity alone, I suppose.

I found the ending to be also quite exaggerated and cheesy, though I don't think its a movie that really takes itself too seriously. If your familiar with and keen on the Family Guy TV show then you should find this pretty entertaining (baring in mind that the movie was directed by the creator of Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane, who also voices Ted), although I felt that there's perhaps more wit in the TV show than there was in this movie. If you know the main concept of the movie, the fact that its a talking teddy bear that swears and likes a good time, then you get the idea of what the movie is about and there really isn't a great deal else to it, content wise, so there's not alot that can be said really, other than it does get a bit more serious in tone towards the end and is even a bit cheesy, Hollywood-esque. I'd imagine that younger teen viewers will roll their eyes at the ending and yet others will, or may, be put off by the crude content beforehand, so thats a little confusing. I knew roughly what to expect so wasn't greatly offended though - I don't mind a bit of crude humour and content if its well done. I'd say overall this is a fairly average movie though, im sure there will be some people who find it hilarious and there will be those who cringe throughout. Its pretty obvious what kind of movie it is, judge for yourself whether its 'for you' or not. What I will say, before finishing up this section, however, is that I thought Mark Wahlberg was a particularly good choice in portraying the role of John Bennett - he certainly comes across as very nonchalant and laidback, which I guess is easy to do but for whatever reason, I did think that he seemed to play the role pretty well (maybe thats a dumb thing to say though? who knows). Mila Kunis gave a pretty average performance as the girlfriend Lori and also present is Giovanni Ribisi, who plays an 'admirer' of Teds. Also present is Joel McHale, who may be known to some as the guy who presents a scathing programme about celebrities and TV called 'The Soup' on the E! network, plus Patrick Stewart contributes as the narrator.

I wouldn't especially recommend this movie. If your a fan of Family Guy and are curious then yes, you might get a few laughs from it - its entertaining enough but no great shakes, as they say.

Seth MacFarlane directs this comedy about a vulgar, wise cracking teddy bear and best friend.
Not high-brow, but the sort of material the MacFarlane produces his best work with.

It’s the first feature film to be written and directed by Seth MacFarlane (not counting Stewie Griffin the untold story), and it turned out so well! Mark Wahlberg is the main star who owns a teddy bear voiced by Seth MacFarlane that he wished to life. They love to smoke pot and do drugs together and they cuss a lot! Mila Kunis, the voice of Meg, plays John’s girlfriend. And who can forget Giovanni Ribisi’s character? He nailed the role of the bad guy and was extremely good with the acting. The jokes throughout the film are quite dirty and are all extremely difficult not to laugh at! I am a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane and his style of humour, like in Family Guy. The story was very well written and at points you really feel for the characters. There is a good lesson attached to it, never let go of your best friend. This is one of the funniest movies of all time, and if you like Family Guy, you will love this movie for sure! Expand

In the beginning I thought the jokes in the movie were weird, and the humor style was not the same as mine. However, the movie did make me laugh multiple times throughout the movie, and I generally enjoyed watching it. I thought the beginning and the end of the movie were really bad. The first 30 minutes of the movie it still did not feel like the plot or the characters were moving towards something, and it was difficult to see what the purpose or the moral of the movie was. The ending of the movie was also really predictable, and therefore not that fun to watch. There were also some scenes in the movie that were too unrealistic even for a comedy movie. These were things like the police not reacting and Rex continuously attempting to score Lori despite her many rejections. Expand
