Comedy is Back

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2013)

Finally a comedy that I laughed out loud at more times than I can remember, I can't remember a comedy this good since 'I Love You Man.' Now for the criticisms, although I felt the writing and the jokes were very funny, it was the same story told a million times over, the only difference was the substitution of a teddy bear in place of a real person. Mark Wahlberg was good as usual (I do like his work) but as other people have said, I was a little distracted by his character being 35 when he clearly looks several years older than that, I'm 34 myself so I should know, just sayin'. The film may skew more towards the male audience with the humor and the lead male protagonist roles, also I didn't find the film overly offensive, the comic timing was good and the jokes were funny and not too over the top, definitely American humor if that is up your alley. Anyway, I have been putting off watching this film for a long time because I just found the premise weak and have been jaded by so many bad comedies releasing in recent memory, but I finally watched 'Ted' and I wasn't disappointed, best comedy in a long time.
