Before You View, Ask Yourself...

Rating: 3/10 (17 December 2012)

Ask yourself who thinks potty humor is great? Think of the stuff you avoid reading on bathroom walls. The type of humor juveniles think is funny about abusing women, sex, drugs, and lots of curse words. If you are still wanting to see Ted, go ahead watch it or rent it.
Now that you watched it, if you replace the "magic teddy bear" with a pal or even an adopted brother, is this movie still funny to you? I didn't find this an amusing movie at all. In fact, my friend rented it and I was under the assumption it was made for "little kids" under 12. Boy was I wrong. I am so glad I wasn't the father who dumped his kids off to go see the magic talking bear, movie while I went shopping in the mall.
OK why I gave this movie the 3 stars it truly deserves is the on screen actors. It is nothing to stand in the studio and read lines for voice overs and spout off bad jokes. But there was some talent at work for all the actors who had to sit and talk to an invisible bear and make it look real. I have no issues with Seth MacFarlane, writer/director of this crap, who will continue writing turds like this on TV. He is the voice of Ted and other voices on his adult cartoon shows. This man has been degrading the value of TV for the past decade since I was a child.
