The Talking Teddy Bear (That Uses Profanity)

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2015)

A teddy bear that swears? Priceless! Ted is an adorable and funny movie. It's also perfect for anyone who likes to see characters that are typically supposed to be cute, turn into raunchy little foul-mouthed, smart alacks. Mark Walhburg was a good choice for the role of John. He made his role as the "loser, immature, pothead boyfriend" convincing. His accent for the movie made me laugh. Especially the way he pronounced the word, "teddy bear". Leading lady Mila Kunis did a great job portraying both the serious side and the sarcastic side of Lori. Walhburg and Kunis have really great chemistry in this film. Whether they are hugging, kissing, or arguing, they made it believable that they were a real couple. Kudos to the production team. They did a fantastic job with making sure that the actors looked like they were looking directly at Ted instead of their eyes drifting off in another direction. Lastly, Seth MacFarlane's talent as a voice actor was the key element in creating Ted. The accent and tone of Ted's voice really gave him personality. If he had a softer voice, or didn't have the accent, I don't think he would have enough attitude or spunk and he wouldn't have gained as much popularity with audiences. Over all, I enjoyed the movie, and would recommend seeing it.
