Marky mark is a bit of a social reject as a kid so his parents decide to buy him a teddy bear. Him and the teddy bear then become bezzies and spend waaaayy too much time together. He makes a wish and the teddy bear then begins to talk like Peter Griffin crossed with Brian. They grow up together whereby Mark gets it on with Meg Griffin, aka Mila Kunis. Turns out Ted is a right dirty little bugger who keeps Mark in a perpetual state of immaturity. Then Phoebe Buffets little brother gets involved and we all learn lessons about life.
If you don't like Family Guy then you probably won't like this film. It's not exactly the same format or comedy style but there are a lot of similarities and some jokes either directly or indirectly reference the big FG. Saying that I love family guy and love this film. Ted is a brilliantly thought out character who provides laughs aplenty. Seth Macfarlane is a great writer and this has translated well into film land. Mark Wahlberg is also showing that he can do comedy really well and gives just as much to the comedy as Ted does. Saying that however it is very much Teds film and without him it would be a bit rubbish, makes sense I know as the film is called Ted but thought I would make the point anyway. Mila Kunis is also very good and helps to add heart to the film and anchors the storyline to more than just joke......innapropriate comment.........joke.........etc. My only problem with the film is it is ever so slightly too reminiscent of family guy in that they use some of the exact same jokes from the show. Still laugh at them but I am a bit of a loser so I would wouldn't I. Overall some really funny shizzle.
Verdict: 4.5/5
