Good comedy

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2015)

Good comedy and first movie from Seth MacFarlane, creator of the superb Family Guy.
Very funny at times and contains many of the Family Guy nuances, in particular the clever throwaway tangential comments. The drama and action are fairly conventional though, but I guess something has to fill in the non-funny moments.
Decent performances from Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Joel Mchale and Giovanni Ribisi, and Seth MacFarlane as the voice of Ted. Host of cameos / "as themselves" make the movie even more interesting: Nora Jones, Sam Jones, Ted Danson, Tom Skerritt, Ryan Reynolds.
