Toilet Humor With Heart

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2012)

So many comedies these days stick to the foul-factor, how much can they gross everyone out while making jokes about drugs, alcohol, and sex without much context to it. Now, being R-rated, Ted, of course, has these references. But what I loved about it was that it still gave context.
The story line is a bit silly (But a talking teddy bear is your main character, so that shouldn't shock anyone), but you find a connection with Mark Wahlberg's character and his struggles between the seriousness of his relationship and the want of having a care-free life with his best childhood friend, Ted. You even find some relationship with Ted as he learns to grow up beside his friend.
Obscure references that few people can catch at first, wonderful music scores (provided by the Walter Murphy), great narrative by the ever- famous Patrick Stewart, great acting from the cast (yes, even the CG bear), cameos from celebrities (one that caught me extremely off-guard), and an appropriate amount of toilet humor makes Ted well-worth the watch.
