Story line

Rating: 8/10 (24 April 2013)

The movie I will be reviewing is Ted. The director/ voice of ted was Seth MacFarlane, it was his first time on the big screen in a movie, he also has several shows like Family Guy, American Dad, and a few others. Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis were also key actors in the plot of the story, Mark played as John Bennett and Mila played as Lori Collins.
The film started when John was just a kid, he didn't have many friends and not a lot of people liked him, for Christmas he received a teddy bear. One night he wished upon a star for the bear to come alive and the next morning ted was alive. Many years down the road, they are still best friends even after all the fame and troubles ted was involved with. John and Lori were in a relationship and ted always seemed to get in-between them and caused several fights and even a break up. Ted had a weird guy stalking him and kidnapped him which brought John and Lori back together. Ted was severally injured and they tried to save him but failed, and Lori wished upon a star and ted came back to life in the end.
The scene was in Boston, and Mark did a good job keeping the accent fresh and kept it going. He seemed really enthused and made a good act out of it. Mila you could somewhat tell she was acting in some parts of the movie, but the rest was overall good acting. And Seth "as Ted" kept character and accent good the whole time. There were some parts of the movie I felt as if the actors were talking to themselves and not Ted. But over all they acted as if they were actually living and the fights, anger, and other parts seemed realistic.
The movie expressed several scenes where music, back grounds, and other effects seemed to go along with the story. In the beginning when they were older, the movie was very bright, happy back ground and so on. When ted was kidnapped, the house was dark, gloomy, older house with a creepy background like from a horror film. When Ted died, it was a stormy night and lightning and thunder filled the sound and screen, which made it a sad/ angry day.
I would overall say it is a good movie, from the review you probably think it is a kid movie but it is far from that, there is drugs, alcohol, adult comedy and should not be viewed by a younger audience, but I would highly recommend this movie to someone wanting to see a comedy.
