One vulgar, hysterically funny teddy, makes for big hit surprise of 2012

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2014)

2012'S comedy hit, and deservedly so. It has all the ingredients that make it work, the main one, of course being our big cuddly, crude, and blasphemous Teddy. The laughs and gags are non stop, making for one of the funniest film in years. Wahlberg fans will like this too, where he plays a guy who works at a rental car place, where his best friend and thunder buddy Ted, still reside with him and his girlfriend. Now comes a stage where three's a crowd, where Wahlberg must make a choice. This movie is very crude and offensive to some, and the manipulator of the teddy, knows his stuff, that lovers fight between bear and Marky Mark, I felt in many painful spots. There is one repulsive scene involving trashy hookers and faeces, and the film becomes quite climactic, and serious near the end, as Ted has been bear napped by a psychotic father (Ribisi, who gives great meaning to the term 'character acting') and his chubby son. The dig concerning Sam 'Flash Gordon' Jones's acting was acutely funny, where it was great to see him make a comeback at 63, while bringing some Flash memories too. The script is gold, Kunis is hot, Ted is side splittingly funny, and Wahlberg with not much to work with character wise, does nice with a mellow performance, while I liked 'The Soup's' Hale as a Kunis's sleazy boss, Rex, who's trying to get into every girl's panties. Wahlberg's singing was really bad, of curse does purposefully, but was really bad, posing the question, could he be, while being the hottest guy in Boston, be the worst singer in Boston. One killer comedy treat, that will never have you looking the same way at a teddy bear again. By the way, I would really like to know what Lou Garrett's disease, actually is.
