What's Wrong With The People?

Rating: 4/10 (25 August 2013)

Everyone watched it and everyone liked it and deemed it to one of the best comedies ever. I'm personally pretty shocked by that, because I've rarely seen such a stupid movie. Now I really have to wonder if it's me or society that something's wrong with.
But let's begin with the good things about the film: At first the concept is pretty good (a teddy bear who was sweet once, but now is an alcoholic who trips out sometimes). Secondly, the cast is very promising, too. Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and Seth MacFarlane are all household names in Hollywood. And third, some jokes are funny - every now and then even exceptionally hilarious.
And with that I immediately build a bridge to the bad side of the film: Some jokes are perhaps good, but most of them are just dumb. I really don't get what's so funny about watching people who are saying the f-word in every other sentence. A scene in a supermarket with a blonde woman, a sausage and Ted himself (I don't want to give you too many details) is just disgusting and especially at that point I wondered how this film was rated for eleven or twelve year old children in some countries. OK, to make it clear to you I have to tell you the ending of this little scene (it's at the beginning of the film and no important part, so not really a spoiler): Ted f***s the woman (my goodness, now I even use this word ...) - I mean, come on, how for goodness' sake is this amusing?
Now that I have complained about the weak jokes enough, I want to mention the other two big blunders of the movie: The completely bog-standard plot could have been told in about ten minutes, and you know from nearly the first minute on how the story more or less will develop. Two of the three main characters aren't really likable either and I felt really sorry for Mila Kunis' one (though I don't understand why she lives with two drug addicts, one being a teddy bear, by choice).
This is all I can tell you about this movie at the moment. For me it's one the biggest movie disappointments ever. So, overall four out of ten points, because at least the idea was good and I laughed sometimes.
