Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane
"Ted" is Seth MacFarlane's first foray as a feature film actor. In it, he tells the story of what happen when that magical teddy bear you wished came alive actually did, and grew up 25 years later. It's got the typical Seth MacFarlane humor, but in a non-Family Guy ripoff kind of way. It's fast paced with plenty of pop-culture references that his generational audience can enjoy.
Sure, there are plenty of timely jokes that fall flat, but all-in-all, "Ted" does a good job of keeping things going throughout the course of the movie.
The acting is all passable. Walhberg's jokes come across as sincere and MacFarlane continues to be one of the best comedic voice actors today. While Kunis plays essentially the same role she's played in every movie other than "Black Swan", when she had her spots to make the audience laugh, she did a decent job.
I always try to give movies credit when they try to do something original, and with "Ted", you definitely get original. One of the better comedies in recent years.
