Title: Ted

Director: Seth MacFarlane

Personal Rating: 5/5

revrezner's Rating: 10/10

Oscars: N/A

Basic Plot: As the result of a childhood wish, John Bennett's teddy bear, Ted, came to life and has been by John's side ever since - a friendship that's tested when Lori, John's girlfriend of four years, wants more from their relationship.


Family Guy
If you like Family Guy you will adore this movie. If you hate family guy I'd suggest staying away. MacFarlane transfers from the animated/tv medium perfectly to the live action/movie medium. Within the first two minutes it was confirmed that the same humor from Family Guy would be used in this movie.

Has One of the Best Fight Scenes Ever
While in the theater revrezner said that the fight between John and Ted was the best fight scene he had seen. Myself, I thought that it was the best scene in the movie. Not only is there a fight between a teddy bear and a grown man, but the teddy bear kicks the man's ass. What is not to love about that?!

I Cried
I hardly cry in movies or tv shows. The Walking Dead and Terminator Salvation are among the few that have made me cry. There is a scene in this movie that is heart breaking. It made someone in the theater cry out, "This is bullshit!" because it broke her heart so much. So bring tissues.

Final Thoughts
This is a must see movie. It's an amazing comedy and has good actors to play the part. The role of John is a good role for Mark Wahlberg. There are so many good lines that I could take up a few blog posts saying my favorites. So what are you waiting for?! Go see this movie now!

  1. Good review. I'm not a fan of Family Guy, so when I saw this and realized how freakin' clever Seth MacFarlane really can be, I was taken aback and had a great time with this flick. Ted is such a great character, too, and Wahlberg works so well with him.
