Funny, as promised

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2016)

If you're a fan of Seth MacFarlane or a child of the 80's then you'll enjoy this. It's filled with pop culture references, crass comedy and fantastic cameos, Very funny (in a 'Family Guy' humour sort of way) and I definitely got my share of laughs.
Ted himself is well animated which adds to the magic, and despite finding his Peter Griffin voice initially distracting (loved that they addressed this) I totally fell for him and his bromance with Mark Wahlberg.
Wahlberg does a good job, he's perfect for the role as a Bostonian who as a child successfully wishes his teddy bear to life. 'John' gets more than he bargained for when the stuffed animal follows him into adulthood, complicating his relationship with (Mila Kunis). Now he has to choose between his girl or his friendship with the crude and extremely inappropriate Ted.
The plot here is nothing special, its familiar, I would even say cliché but it doesn't really matter because events are just so hilarious. On another note, I could definitely tell that Seth McFarlane is (my age) by the bits I found funny or ironic or nostalgic, like the Darth Vader case for all the action figures, Airplane re-enactment, Flash Gordon or Indiana Jones notes played on the stairs. 2/7/16
