straight into my top 10 comedies

Rating: 10/10 (2 September 2012)

this is just...hilarious. and i mean gut bustingly hilarious. it has been a while since i laughed this hard watching a comedy. its Seth's signature slightly childish but at the same time clever comedy and i loved every second of it.
obviously the premise is about a boy and his bear who he wished could really talk when just coincidentally a shooting star pops along (when you wish upon a star) and he comes to life. he's at first surprised, but accepts it quickly. The parents reactions by the way are quite funny.
after Ted's celebrity status and Patrick Stewart's fantastic narration, Ted and john have grown up and smoke weed, laze about the house and discuss some hilarious ideas. the jokes are quite often inconsistent but hilarious all the same, especially when Ted gets job (i won't ruin it for you, but its one of the best parts of the film, although its a bit short)
i know I'm using the word hilarious a lot, but that is the keyword in this film. its typical Seth and thats what we want, thats what we got and i loved it.
there's only 2 things that i didn't really like. the first was mark Wahlberg's accent. most of it wasn't bad its just every time he said a word with an -r at the end made him sound like a total ass. its only nitpicking though and doesn't affect the overall film.
the second was that the film, although brilliant, wasn't really that quotable. there's no lines that could be repeated in everyday conversation unless set up which to be honest, is a once every so often opportunity, and by then you may have already forgot.
overall, its brilliant. utterly utterly brilliant. i see people have panned this film for its childishness and inconsistency. sorry people, these are attributes of Seth. its what we love him for. we wont expect anymore, or any less.
