Great Story

Rating: 4/10 (11 December 2012)

When I watched Ted, I went into it expecting a hilarious film. I have to say I am a little disappointed. Wahlberg and Macfarland were both outstanding and hilarious, although many of the jokes fell short of expectations. What surprised me though was the story. A story right out of a picture book, I felt a real emotional connection to the character, something that is rare in hard R comedies. I love the character development, and the interactions between characters are outstanding. Like I said earlier though, not near as funny as I had hoped. I laughed at a few parts, and there were a few clever cracks, but nothing near as funny as the Hangovers or Wahlberg's previous comedy, The Other Guys. When you see it, don't expect to be rolling on the floor, but it's an enjoyable film, worth seeing once.
