10 Minute Sketch Stretched to a Movie

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2013)

Ted is foul and offensive, but that is expected from anything from Seth MacFarlane. Ted has it's moments, but there are not many, that are funny. The funny moments are found in the first couple of minutes of the movie though and then the movie slides down the garbage chute into a murky, pile of dung. There are so many wasted characters and terrible unnecessary moments that have no bearing on the characters, that take away from the moments that could be funny and are there for shock value (but do not make it). Patrick Warburten is wasted in this movie. Warburten is one of the funniest men on television and Ted is just a waste of his comedic abilities. Warburten's homosexual relationship with Ryan Reynolds has no bearing on the story and wastes screen time that could be used for something else. Patrick Stewart's narration is wasted and unnecessary and again has no bearing on the story or the outcome. Joel McHale's character chasing Mila Kunis again has no bearing on the story and is dull and lifeless. The worse part of the movie is Giovanni Ribisi and his obsession with stealing Ted for his son. This obsession provides the absolute worse part of the movie and destroys any chance of this film from being tolerable. This movie is a complete mess and it was not worth the effort to film it.
