Police? This guy took my teddy bear!
... Hello? Hello?
Christmas 1985 and an unpopular kid called John Bennett gets
a teddy bear which he names Ted. Sad and with no friends he wishes that Ted
could talk to him and wakes up the next morning to find his wish has been granted.
Ted is a cute and friendly young bear who wants friendship and hugs. Twenty-seven
years later Ted (Seth McFarlane) and John (Mark Wahlberg) are sat on their sofa
smoking pot and talking about how Boston women orgasm. The two have remained
friends but appear stuck in a rut of adolescent smut and innuendo which is
getting neither of them anywhere. John’s girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis) issues
John with an ultimatum – it’s her or the bear, and the two friends must figure
out if they are capable of or even safe to live apart.
I’ve been looking forward to Ted for months and it feels like ages since it was released in the
States. Now it’s finally here I can report that it fully lived up to my expectations.
