Don't wast your money on this rubbish!

Rating: 1/10 (7 December 2012)

There is NOTHING, I repeat, NOTHING even remotely good, funny, entertaining or likable about this film! I found it to be boring, tedious, dreadful, and a chore to watch as I forced myself to see it to the end after having paid to watch it. I wasn't going to waste my money by deleting it from the hard drive on my P. V. R part way through the film! I'm going to do you readers a massive favour and tell you all what happens at the end so that you don't end up wasting your time and money watching this drivel! I cannot find any redeeming feature in this film! No, I tell a lie there is one and only one, and that is the clever way Ted has been made to look real.
It's a tale about an eight years old boy who had no friends that was thrilled to get a stuffed cuddly bear as a Christmas present. Once received he then wished for it to come to life and so it did. Now as far as I can tell, in a prosperous country such as American and in a middle-class neighbourhood such as John Barratt was in the last thing an eight years old boy would be thrilled to receive is a stuffed teddy bear! Any way he got it, he made the wish, it came to life and became famous but didn't earn anything from being famous. that all happened pre credits. during the credits there is a montage of them growing up to adulthood and him in a job which even though he is always late for it and is hardly ever there he is still in line for a promotion. I wish I could find a job like that! Time and time again the bear ruins John's relationship with his girlfriend causing them to eventually split up. the two get drawn back together when they go chasing after Ted who has been kidnapped by a creepy man that is obsessed with him. The man wanted him for his son and after hearing Ted make a phone call to John takes Ted on a car trip. John and his now ex girlfriend Lori are in the car together on their final time together when the call is received work out where Ted is and head over to the house. As they get closer they see Ted in the man's car and give chase to a football stadium. The creepy man chases Ted up a stadium light stand and as he grabs hold of Ted's foot. On pulling Ted down ted is torn in two and his stuffing comes out. At this point I was so hoping the film would end but no there was still more rubbish to come. John and Lori grabbed all of the bits rushed home with him and stitched him back together. Guess who wished him back to life? Yes that's right Lori! The person whose life he had effectively ruined for the last four years by her boyfriend always putting the bear before her. the one that on coming back from their four year anniversary dinner to find a turd on the floor claimed it was there courtesy of one of the three very attractive ladies he was sitting on the sofa with!
The film is too awful and how it managed to do so well at the box office is beyond my comprehension! There are lots of appalling films that do do well at the box office leaving me struggling to work out why. As far as this film goes and the Internet Movie Data Base reviewers and rater go there are only 2.7 percent of people that have taste and know what decent, funny comedy is!
