==Plot==
John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) is an "average Joe" Boston native whose innocent childhood wish for his teddy bear to come to life actually comes true. However, the bear named Ted (voiced and motion-captured by Seth MacFarlane) remains his "best friend" even into his adult years - refusing to leave his side. Ted's irresponsible and vulgar slacker lifestyle - in continuing to apply childish morals - conflicts John's attempt to embrace his adulthood and the woman of his dreams Lori Collins (Mila Kunis).
