Our take on Ted
Seth MacFarlane's 2012 comedy runs on a single mischievous premise: a boy's childhood wish brings his teddy bear to life, and years later that bear is a foul-mouthed, hard-partying adult roommate. Now grown, John Bennett must choose between clinging to his lifelong companion and committing to his girlfriend, Lori. Blending broad comedy with a streak of fantasy, the film mines its cuddly-toy-gone-rogue idea for crude gags and an oddly sweet story about growing up and letting go of the past. It suits viewers who enjoy raunchy, irreverent humor and don't mind sentiment mixed in, and who are happy to see a childhood icon behaving very badly.
