Oh Seth...Thank you for existing.

Being an admirer of Seth Macfarlane for a long time, I was hopeful that one day we would get to see him actually make a movie.
If you also enjoy the irreverent styling of Macfarlane but want to see it embodied as one linear narrative that balances the absurd in an otherwise mostly realistic universe then you won't be disappointed.
Beneath the laughs we actually have quite a thoughtful story of a grown needing to choose between his new relationships tempting him to adulthood and his youth.
Ted is an unbelievably likeable character and comedy vehicle that is also able to evoke great sympathy as a thing literally made for playtime yet must try and make it as humdrum adult.
One of the few movies that have genuinely made me tear up. A beautiful narrative on the themes of friendship and ageing.
