This movie starts off with a wish made by a young John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), who makes a Christmas wish for his teddy bear to come to life so they could be friends forever. Upon waking the next morning he finds is teddy bear is alive. He than names him Ted (Seth Macfarlane). The next time we see these two they are all grown up and still together. Hilariously smoking weed on the couch watching "Flash Gordon." I couldn't stop laughing while the bear was saying how weak it was and that he needed to call his buyer while John was already high off of a few hits.
Lori Collins (Mila Kunis) is John's girlfriend whom he has been dating for four years. It is apparent to begin with that she really needs John to make a change. Mostly to grow up and stop depending on his bear for companionship. She then gives him an ultimatum to either get rid of Ted, or she goes. I was definitely taken aback by the scene of Ted fornicating with a girl who works at the local grocery store and I quickly recovered enough to let out a loud chuckle.
Pretty much every aspect of this movie was absolutely ridiculous considering it's hard to take a teddy bear smoking weed, partying, and with the mouth of a sailor seriously even when it's in a very serious situation. But this movie was in no way stupid. It was funny. Very funny.
Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis did a great job as always and Seth Macfarlane is a great writer and voice actor. The thing I love about it is that it makes fun of everyone. Not just a set group, which is what I think i appreciate most from his shows. If you want non-stop laughs this is definitely the movie to see and when it comes out on DVD I will definitely be adding it to my collection.
