Original! Profane!

Rating: 5/10 (16 January 2013)

Ted is an interesting comedy - to say the least. The concept is fresh and there are some very funny moments but my overview review is "eh" or 5. I really like the first hour or so, but I thought the movie ran out of steam in the end and tried to hard to be funny when the bizarre father- son duo kidnapped Ted. I was VERY offended at the incredibly insensitive and downright nasty comment about the Virginia Tech massacre - that had NO place in the movie - or ANY movie.How could anyone try to find any humor in that - what the hell were they thinking??? This movie is NOT for anyone under 18! The movie could have been so much better - more scenes like Ted crashing the car into the rental ( very, very, very funny!! ) and the banter that went along with it - would have raised this to comedy cult status.
