Hilariously creative

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2012)

Sometimes you know you are going to hate a movie the minute it starts. When TED started, those were my feelings. The movie starts with a fairy tale kind-of narration of a boy's wish which makes his teddy bear come to life, Ted. By this time I was sure I was going to hate this movie.
Teddy Bears usually have an image of being cute cuddly and something that you relate to kids. This movie changes that image in a humorous way. In the next scene the teddy and the boy (John) are all grown up. Both have a mature adult voice, they smoke pod, they talk dirty and still live together. There is something hilarious about a 'Teddy Bear' swearing on the big screen.
The movie is all about how the friendship of John (Mark Wahlberg) and Ted (Teddy bear) comes between John's love life. John and Ted have a great bond and are awesome together, and so is the pair of John and his girl-friend Lori (Mila Kunis). John finds it hard to let go of either of them and ends up fighting with Ted and kicking him out of his apartment.
What I liked about the movie was the imagination of bringing a bear to life and changing the role of him from just being a kid's play toy. Ted is hilariously funny and his friendship with John is naturally entertaining. Also the chemistry between John and Lori is very charming and real. You will definitely enjoy these two as much you enjoy the other two.
My suggestion: Don't miss Ted; he will make you Laugh your AO! But be sure to not take your kids with you, this is *not* a kids movie.
