A teddy bear with an attitude...

Rating: 6/10 (9 November 2012)

Initially I had expected a bit more from "Ted" in the sense that the movie didn't really cause me to have all that many laughs throughout the entire feature. Sure, there were some great moments here and there, but they were far apart.
Now, don't get me wrong, because "Ted" is not a bad movie, far from it. It is actually a quite good movie. It has a nice storyline that will appeal to both a younger and a more mature audience. Plus it really helps that the CGI animation of Ted himself was really amazing. All throughout the movie, he was real and life-like, which was really important to make a movie like this work.
Plus they had also cast some good people to fill out the roles for the various roles in the movie, and Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis actually had some good on-screen chemistry and that worked out quite nicely. But again, the animation of Ted and his entire personality was really the fuel that made the movie run so well. And it was also nice to see Ryan Reynolds make a small appearance in that role as he did. And it was also nice to see Sam J. Jones in the movie. I don't actually think I've seen him since "Flash Gordon", at least not that I can recall.
For a comedy, then "Ted" really didn't fully deliver the goods. The story was solid, good and well executed, but it just lacked that one-step-beyond comedy that would have made the movie explosive. Personally, I had to look far for the laughters in the movie. I was thoroughly entertained by the movie, though.
"Ted" could have used some improvements on certain aspects, but all in all, it is not a bad movie.
