Ted (2012)

A foul-mouthed teddy bear, a man-child, and $218 million at the box office — proof that growing up is overrated.

Crowd Score: 6.9/10

Who Is It For?

If you're a Family Guy fan who wished Peter Griffin was a stuffed animal, this is your movie. Comedy lovers who enjoy irreverent, boundary-pushing humor with a surprisingly sweet bromance at its core will have a great time. It's comfort food for the millennial generation who grew up on MacFarlane's brand of pop culture satire.

What People Are Saying

Ted was one of the biggest comedy hits of the 2010s for a reason — the Flash Gordon party scene alone is worth the price of admission, and MacFarlane's voice work is peak.

— editorial

Mark Wahlberg commits fully to the man-child role with surprising sincerity, and his chemistry with a CGI bear is genuinely convincing. Mila Kunis is underserved by the script as the 'responsible girlfriend' archetype.

— editorial

The joke-per-minute ratio is high and many land, but the plot structure is boilerplate buddy comedy. MacFarlane's signature cutaway gag style translates unevenly from 22-minute TV episodes to a feature-length film.

— editorial

MacFarlane's first feature directorial effort is competent but visually unremarkable — the comedy carries the film, not any distinctive visual style. He knows how to stage a joke, which is what matters.
