Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish... and has refused to leave his side ever since.
This is one of those movies that I wish I would have seen right out of the gate and not a week later. I probably would have enjoyed it a lot more without all the hype and commentary about how funny it was and what not. There were some laughs, but most of it was fifteen year old humor. I did find myself laughing about the talking teddy bear throughout the movie but it was definitely like 30 minutes too long.
I would somewhat recommend people checking this out. There are good laughs but not nearly as much as all the hype suggests there are.
