If Peter Griffin was in Toy Story...

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2018)

Although I like Seth Macfarlanes animated shows such as Family Guy and American Dad, I was concerned that this film would be a let down as I did not enjoy A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014).
I am happy to say my original judgment was proven wrong and I thought this film was pretty funny. Ted reminded me of Peter Griffin and of course sounds like him too, as you would expect! He even makes an in joke about this in the movie.
I really do enjoy films which are self aware, such as when Ted acknowledges that some of his jokes went to far! However, I must admit Seth's outrageous and sometimes racist humour did not always make me laugh.
You will think that some of the jokes are pretty immature, but you must remember that some of them, such as the thunder buddies song were made by the protagonists when they were children, so it sorta makes sense.
The story itself is interesting as it deals with the questions such as "what would happen to Ted once John grows up?". The overall answers to such questions are not only adressed, but are humourous as you would imagine! I'd say if you like Family Guy, give it a shot as the humour in this movie is very similar!
