right up my alley.... in the dumpster!

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2013)

I thought I'd note, so that you guys/gals don't think I'm some sort of religious fanatic, or someone who's easily offended - I'm neither.
This movie is awful.
The jokes aren't funny. I connected with some of the 80's nostalgia early in the film, and laughed at an early "Saturday Night Fever" bit, but for the most part.... awful.
One of the worst movies I've seen in a while.
I gave "Waiting" a 72/100,.. and "Office Space" showed that one of these novice directors from TV fame could deliver a comedic masterpiece(gave that 95/100 - right there with Swingers and Anchorman as some of my favorite comedies of the last two decades).
"ted" has little to no comedic value. There are two jokes in the film. One is over-regurgitated use of the f-bomb, and the other is any poke at religion. In either case the jokes aren't funny. It's almost as if Seth is making up for his censorship on television, and sorry Seth it comes of as "you don't have anything better/funnier to say".
The film is quick to tell the audience about the heartfelt connection between it's lead and his Teddy bear, but their love for one another isn't developed at all. Their only connection seems to be the desire to smoke pot.... something else I don't have a problem with... or did at one time if you catch my drift... either way... those jokes aren't funny either.
I spent the last two weeks stopping at nearly every rental machine in SE Tennessee to find this thing because it looked to be right up my alley. I guess you could say I did have high expectations, but anyone that thinks this film is anywhere close to it's current rating must also be high. Which is fine, but a lot of party animals think "Half-baked" is a masterpiece too. Actually, "half-baked - 52/100" might be considered a masterpiece next to this piece of junk.
I like the Family Guy, but Seth McFarland has a real stinker here with "Ted". Seriously, an average, middle-of-the-road Adam Sandler piece is exponentially better.
I could have been at the bottom of a 12 pack of brewsky, or at the end of a spliff, and it wouldn't have made one bit of difference - other than the fact that I might not have to remember just how bad this movie was.
save your money, save your time.
41/100
If you want a good crude comedy go with "Waiting", "Clerks", or if you're looking for something out of the mainstream try the no-budget "bindlestiffs" because this movie is terrible.
