Don't bring the kids, bring a bong!

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2012)

Ted is an awesome film.
Young John Bennet wishes that his Teddy Bear could be his best friend forever. He gets that wish: a walking, talking, living Teddy Bear. This is them as adults: pot-smoking underachievers, with gorgeous girlfriends who love them for their personalities.
STORY: 4 out of 5
The story is a bit familiar. We've seen the best buddy comedy before. However, we've never seen it with a talking Teddy Bear who smokes pot and drives.
The characters are set up very well, and we get to feel for these people. While many movies blast through scenes, trying to get to some climactic point, this movie takes its time -- but not too much time -- and lets us feel these people and relate to them.
The couple is already together, so we don't have to suffer through a budding romance movie again. However, the romance gets in the way of the friendship between Ted and John, which is what the movie is really about.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's for lovers of Family Guy / American Dad, it's for lovers of Stoner flicks and comedy. GO WATCH TED!!!
WARNING Warning: this film is not for everyone. Do not take your kids. This is an R-Rated movie dealing with drugs, hookers, creepy fanatics, creepy bosses, and sex in public. On top of that, there is a lot of strong language and sexual references.
