Funny but lacking something

Rating: 7/10 (17 July 2012)

Ted is one of those films that you really want to love, but it doesn't quite get you there. The funniest thing about this movie is Ted's toilet humor which is consistent throughout. The romantic plot that surrounds this humor seems only fit to please a female audience and transfer this flick from a stoner / hangover movie into something more meaningful. But it really doesn't need to be! To be honest if we had more of Mark Wahlberg and Ted's antics throughout I'd give this movie a 9/10! Mila Kunis' character is slightly confused in her convictions and plays an annoying over bearing girlfriend whose only role is to smother her boyfriend and take away from what is actually funny about this movie: TED!
