I wish all movies were as good as this!

Rating: 9/10 (28 May 2013)

I saw Ted expecting a raunchy, crude, mean-spirited black comedy. Yes it can be raunchy and crude at times, but this movie couldn't be further from mean-spirited. This movie, although adult-oriented and not child friendly (to say the least), is actually big-hearted, and uplifting. It tells the story of a man whose best friend is a talking teddy bear named Ted. But since he is 35 years old now, his relationship with Ted is interfering with his relationship with his girlfriend. It's laugh-out-loud funny (I can't remember the last time a movie made me laugh this much) and yet still is able to tell a great story of love and friendship. It's too bad this couldn't have been dialed back a bit to appeal to a younger crowd, but that probably would have taken something away from this gem of a movie. Highly recommended. 10/10
