Calm Down Everyone!

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2012)

Hey Everybody! Just watched Ted, and believe me, it is crude, lewd, and rude - it is also screamingly funny, and actually touching in places. It's been said that all the jokes Seth couldn't get away with on Family Guy show up here; while that may or may not be true, it's a great script, well acted, and again, gut busting funny. Anyone who has spent time on the East Coast (particularly NYC and Boston) will recognize the cadences and attitudes. The plot is simple and straightforward; guy loves girl, guy loses girl, guy moves heaven and earth to get girl back. All with the help of a talking blue collar bear! But the script is terrific - just like Family Guy, NOTHING is sacred here, and that really appeals to me in our politically correct world. You can't even tell a Helen Keller joke anymore! On second thought, if you have to ask who Hellen Keller is, then is isn't the movie for you. I'm sure Lion King is playing somewhere. But if you like your comedy FRESH, RAW and NASTY, run, skip, or wheel yourself to the theater at once!
