A lot better than I expected

Rating: 9/10 (11 June 2013)

I'd heard from many people that Ted was not really that good, and since all my friends and I are huge Seth Macfarlane fans, this stunned me. We are also huge fans of Mila Kunis and Mark, so we thought it couldn't do any wrong. I waited for it to come out on DVD. I actually really loved it! I don't know what exactly people disliked about it, but I thought that it was great for what it was. Yes, there are a lot of 80's references. I am not an 80's lover AT ALL, so I thought this would be my point of undoing but I found that since I didn't really know most of the references very well, it wasn't anything to be bothered about. I love the use of weed smoking in this movie, because the hard truth that American's don't want to face is that more people than they realize smoke weed and it's really not that big of a deal. Those that think it is are just brainwashed by the government telling them that it's wrong and dangerous, yadda yadda. I'm not sitting here saying I do it, because I don't, but I also don't condemn those who do. I fully support movies that don't shy away from the subject. Anyhow, as long as you don't expect this movie to keep you laughing from start to finish without stopping, and you don't have a problem with a bit of drug use and partying and seeing Mila Kunis fog up your screen with her hot self, then this movie is great for you! Is it perfect? No. But it wasn't bad or disappointing. There are even a few heartfelt scenes for those who like that.
