Ted Review

Rating: 6/10 (17 August 2012)

Let me start this by saying, I don't really like Seth Macfarlane, despite the fact that I enjoy Family Guy a whole lot, I really don't like the man as I feel he has a certain arrogance, which really made me not want to see this film, but I did anyway.
Let me start off my commenting on the animation of Ted... it was BRILLIANT, it was totally believable that he was there and his interaction with Mark Wahlberg and other actors was great, his voice didn't distract me as much as I thought it would, as I was too into the animation of Ted to really care.
Mark Wahlberg's performance was great and to me it was the best thing about the film, his character is very likable.
Some of the jokes were QUITE good, especially when they introduce the villain (NO COMMENT) as he is extremely funny and his interaction with Ted is even funnier.
The film wasn't as RAUNCHY or RUDE as it was made out to be, and to be fair Ted doesn't even take drugs as much as you would think, some of the time it's a feel good comedy.
Now, let's talk about the bad parts.
I didn't like this movie, but I didn't hate it either, sometimes the jokes fall very flat and sometimes there are references that the audience in my screening did not get, especially when there's a small reference to AIRPLANE. Sometimes the film felt too FAMILY GUY-ESQUE.
To cut it short, it was enjoyable but it's a film I wish I didn't pay to see in the cinemas.
FINAL VERDICT- If you're a fan of FAMILY GUY and is happy to see a film by SETH MACFARLANE, see it. Even if you're not a fan you'd probably enjoy it.
But I would probably just wait for the DVD.
