The New York Times maintains there’s only one joke in Ted. That may be, I suppose the film is a long rif on a stuffed bear with an adult personality. But at the end of the movie you still aren’t sick of the joke.
Ted‘s pretty fucking funny.
I’m not going to waste much time explaining the movie or why its good. A boy wishes upon a star for his bear to come to life so he’ll have a friend. And so it does. Years later when the boy is a 35 year old south Boston asshat, so is the bear. And that’s plot.
But the asshats will make you laugh so hard you risk injury.
Family Guy fans will appreciate the Seth McFarlane’s style from back when it was a funny show.
Ted’s funny, filthy, you’ll laugh a lot, go see it.
