Funny, but overloaded with scatological jokes and other offensive material

Rating: 7/10 (3 March 2013)

"Ted" most definitely has some laugh out loud moments, and overall I enjoyed it. Sadly though, there is an overabundance of scatological jokes and other offensive material. While I am a woman with a sense of humour, I found a lot of the lines to be outrageously sexist. Of course, I don't take this movie seriously; it's about a talking teddy bear. Still though, I think that Seth McFarlane has gotten a little out of hand. There are some scenes that just made me ask, "WHY? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CROSS THAT LINE?". Those are scenes that I would skip over if I watched this again. Giovanni Ribisi and the boy who plays his pudgy son are hilarious, with their Kathy Bates in "Misery"-type characters. The sex-scenes leave me perplexed, because I do not understand how those acts are anatomically possible, considering that one participant lacks the body parts necessary to engage in said act. Anyway, this is a great movie to watch when you just wanna chill. But Seth McFarlane has issues.
