TED

Plot:


As a little boy, John Bennett was a loner that all the other kids didn’t want to be around. Well one holiday he is given a huge teddy bear as a gift from his parents and John makes a wish that he would like for the bear to be his best friend forever and that he could talk back to him at the very time of a shooting star. By a miracle his wish is granted and the talking bear becomes an overnight sensations. John (Wahlberg), now an adult, working a dead end job and still partying hard and getting high with his long time friend Ted (the bear) is eventually face wit the ultimatum of having to choose between a continuous life of debauchery with Ted or a new life with his sexy and successful fiancé Lori (Kunis). With the biggest decision to make in his life looming over his head, he will also have to keep a watchful eye out for a crazed fan of Ted’s named Donny (Ribisi) who wishes to retain the bear for his obese son’s amusement.


Reel Talk:


Ok it’s been awhile since a toy made such a strong presence on the big screen, back when Chucky the killer doll ruled. Well now Ted takes the baton and he is off and running, only this is not a horror movie but it’s also not a kid movie either (so leave the kiddies at home). Ted (voiced over by the film’s director Seth MacFarlane) is a drug using, hard partying and highly sexual stuffed bear that despite the before mentioned you will find charming unless you get on his bad side and then you can expect him to unleash a can of whoop ass on you. This is a different type a role for the macho acting Wahlberg who is known for his action movies, but he pulls it off impressively as the adult insecure man who is still attached to his teddy bear. Overall this was one hilariously funny movie that will have you rolling with laughter. A must see but again not suitable for the children!
