Finally, a real kids film for adults!

Rating: 9/10 (27 July 2013)

First of all let me state that I'm voting Ted a 9 out of 10 not simply because I think it's a great film, but because how often can you seriously rate a comedy? It deserves the 9 for how well planned and produced it is before the content steals the show.
Seth Macfarlane, creator, writer, director and voice-over artist of such animated shows as 'Family Guy' 'The Cleveland Show' and 'American Dad' proves in his feature movie debut that, not only does his own unique and hilarious comedy sketch brand of childish comedy make a successful transfer from cartoon to reality - low and behold, the man can tell a story and make it stand apart from the crowd.
Ted is the perfect mix of all the things a decent comedy should contain and whereas it might occasionally rely on offensive over the top comedy and stereotyping, even if you've never really been a regular to the cartoon series' he produces you still appreciate it because just when you think it couldn't be any more far fetched, it weighs down like an anchor and grounds itself in reality.
It's a stoner comedy, a childish fantasy of epic proportions and dare I say it; its reliance on the odd sexist and racist observations make for the type of uncomfortable laughter you can actually appreciate. Often more suggestive than "balls out" offensive, it relies on your sick humour rather than insists that you learn to appreciate it.
Ted also boasts a great cast aside from Wahlberg and Kunis. Patrick Warburton (Family Guy's Joe Swanson) is hilarious as Guy. Patrick Stewart narrates and Ryan Reynolds provides some of his greatest acting EVER! Sam J. Jones' cameo as himself is off the wall and back to the character of Ted himself, MacFarlane has me in stitches so often.
Overall, Ted ought to be a classic and I think it will stand the test of time providing it doesn't rely on a sequel!
