"Ted" is an R-rated comedy following the antics of a stuffed teddy bear come to life after a lonely child wishes on a falling star. Ted (voiced by Seth McFarland) briefly becomes a celebrity but never forgets his best friend, John (Mark Wahlburg). Fast forward twenty-seven years and Ted and John are still best pals. Their friendship interferes with John's job as well as his relationship with Jamie (Mila Kunis). Further problems arise when Jamie's boss (Joel McHale) tries to steal her away and an obsessed stalker (Giovanni Ribisi) is intent on stealing Ted.
I wanted to like this movie based on the promos but it just didn't happen for me. It seemed for me the funniest parts where in the promos and the rest of the film was just made up of over-the-top raunchy material and language. It's an interesting premise by pitting the bromance of Ted and John against the romance of Jamie and John but just not really developed at the expense of the gags. I would've loved to have seen both McHale and Ribisi have more screen time but their characters were really afterthoughts.
This film could've been much better than just a foul-mouth bear and raunchy gags - D-
