Juvenile, infantile, puerile, stupid - I absolutely LOVED it!

Rating: 9/10 (25 May 2014)

There are some films that are so low brow they make you want to chew your own neck off (Keith Lemon: The Movie, I'm looking at you). Then there are others which are also pretty low brow, but actually work. I'm pleased to say that Ted is one of them.
Ted is the tale of a young boy's magical wish to bring his cuddly teddy bear to life so that they can be best friends forever. He gets his wish and Ted stays with him until adulthood, which causes more than a few complications with his long-suffering girlfriend.
If you didn't know, Ted is Seth (Family Guy/American Dad/The Cleveland Show) MacFarland's first big screen outing and the bottom line is that, if you've seen and enjoy any of his shows, you'll probably enjoy Ted. His writing is not meant to be subtle. Some of it can be shocking, other bits offensive. He (like Family Guy) has an 'open insult' policy, where no one is beyond being made fun of. Although he does cover some controversial topics, he mainly makes fun of eighties movies and TV, plus some healthy ribbing of B-list celebrities.
It's crude, but it's funny. As long as you set you mind at that level and know what you're getting, you should have more than a few laughs with a bear who swears and engages in recreational drug-taking (not to mention is quite a hit with the ladies - you'll have to watch the film to see that bit).
Enjoy a real life 'swear bear!'
