THE REVIEW:
This is one movie i have been counting down the days until its release. The first time i saw the trailer i knew this was not to be missed and RIGHT i was. Ted is exactly what the summer needed, a breath of fresh animated comedy that's hilarious from start to finish. Mr MacFarlane (Director, Producer & Co-Writer) I salute you sir because this idea for a film is pure genius. He was basically able to bring his Family Guy traits to the big screen (You will see from Ted's voice). I went to watch this film with some friends and we all laughed so much because Ted is just the craziest teddy bear everyone would love to have as a best friend. I cannot stress how funny this film is, you just have to watch it for yourself. When I was in the cinema everyone laughed throughout, I could hear people from the other side of the screen they were laughing so loud.
.
We see a teddy bear in the trailers, you would think this is be a nice & cuddly talking toy, you would be so wrong. This is not a film for kids because even though he is this smart & witty character he has the dirtiest mouth on him. The funny references come thick and fast, its precise and 85% of the jokes/humor are well written. Nudity, Profanity, Drugs & Alcohol are what take center stage to help tell this story. Its a ride through a wave of emotions and brilliant screenplay.
.
The storyline can be seen coming a mile off, the whole romance vs bromance script has been many times done before but as long as you can catch your fair share of unlimited laughs then you will enjoy it (some jokes may go over your head, so watch out lol). There are even some good action scenes thrown in. All the characters did have this laid back approach that made it feel more natural. Not once did was I thinking it was silly and childish, nobody tried too hard to be funny. Ted was obviously the star of the show, even though his self centered life style was killing his best friends love life. Mark Walhbergs character John Bennett must have been a new approach for him. He is normally playing a more serious role, its nice to see how well he can dumb himself down. Mila Kunis is such a beautiful actress, she plays Lori Collins effortlessly. I also saw a few TV faces that I liked. (nice to see more actors/actresses getting their time on the big screen)
.
After I watched Ted all I was wanting was my own Ted. If I wasn't 23 years old I would surely be considering purchasing a Teddy bear that resembled Ted. I mean lets face it this bear is like the best friend everyone craves. Who doesn't want to get high everyday with a talking bear?. If I was rating this film for consistency then i would say 9/10.

OVERALL: FUNNIEST FILM THIS SUMMER 2012. GUARANTEED.
