If you like Seth, you'll like this. If not, you still probably will like this.

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2012)

Ted is Seth MacFarlene's directional debut and stars him. It was also written by him. Ted is the story of John Bennet who, when he's young, makes a wish for his teddy bear to come to life, when he does, they become best friends and do everything together. Now, 24 years on, their friendship is tested when John's girlfriend Lori asks more from their relationship and the only way to get more is to remove Ted from their life.
I was really looking forward to this film. Seth MacFarlane is hilarious and I love his TV shows. So I was really excited for this. And I wasn't disappointed. It had a lot of funny parts and a few very funny parts. As much as I enjoyed it, it didn't meet expectation. Maybe I thought it was going to be a 10/10 or something, I don't know. But I still enjoyed it and it was very funny.
I am delighted this is rated so highly and also the amount of money it made, because, basically it's a defiant thing that there will be more films to come from Seth and I am really looking forward to them. I really liked this film.
If I have one complaint it's this. There is a few swing and miss jokes. But otherwise it's a very funny film, with good acting, a gateway to more Seth films and A LOT of 80's film references, also, there is a few heartfelt moments and it really adds to the story.
It feels like Family Guy, but it's actually a lot different. But some of the jokes are in the same humor. So, if you like Seth, you'll like this. If you like good comedy films, you can't go far wrong with this either. Because out of all the comedy films released in the last few years, this is up there most defiantly.
