When reality meets fantasy!

Rating: 8/10 (24 January 2013)

A funny movie that will make you laugh like you never laughed before. But why? The answer is simple. It's because it managed to use something that you've always been attached to when you were a kid, and twisted that a little to make something unique. That thing is a teddy bear toy. A teddy bear that talks! You won't hold yourself laughing after hearing any word that Ted is saying, even if it wasn't funny! It's the idea of having a speaking toy that is funny. Yeah we could say the same thing about Toy Story as well, but the argument here is that Ted managed to bring in the real-life element into the story. The story is still believable in every aspect. You won't feel the fantasy behind it, the character "Ted" is part of our lives and the movie goes as far as even involving him in social and professional activities. He is treated like a normal person, just like me and you. So when you see that on the screen and you start to comprehend the fact that he is just a soft toy, that's when you'll start laughing and laughing!
In summary, Ted is one of the funniest movies I would recommend to watch. There are however some nudity scenes and excessive use of obscene language so parents should think twice before allowing their young children to watch the movie. Otherwise, a great movie and a must-watch! 8/10
