Ted [Unrated] [DVD] [2012]

I saw this movie in theaters and I remember the entire theater roaring up in laughter literally every single minute. It sometimes got to a point where I couldn't even hear the dialogue due to the laughter. It is just that funny. Absolutely loved it so you can imagine I was really looking forward to the Blu-Ray release....granted, I'm also a big fan of Judd Apatow movies and Family Guy so this type of humor is up my alley. If you're in the same boat, I think you'd like it too. Bonus points if you grew up in the 80's, have a best friend that you grew up with, and love pop culture. That being said, this movie is not for everybody. I would never recommend this film to my grandmother...or my parents for that matter. For anyone on the fence about it, don't watch it because you're a fan of Marky Mark. Watch Family Guy first to get a feel for it because this movie has a significantly stronger influence from Seth McFarlane than from Mark Wahlberg.

Hilarious is only one way to describe this comedy that is perfect for stoners

I love Seth MacFarlane stuff, but the previews for this movie just weren't catching my interest. I finally watched it though and was very surprised. This is one of the funniest movies I have seen for quite awhile. No wonder the previews didn't do it justice.....they can't show most of the hilarious stuff on the previews.....wouldn't get past the censors.

After being beat down by Hollywood's recent (say, the last 15 years) interpretation of comedy, I was skeptical of this movie. But, since it seemed different from your basic mindless, re-hash comedy(Epic Movie), or endless do-over (W. Farrell, J. Carey), thought I'd give it a chance. After watching Ted, I was actually happy to have taken the time to see it, and that doesn't happen often in this age of re-makes and sequels. Being 49 years old, it's tough to come across a new, funny comedy. This is definitely one. Admittedly, there are one, or two, scenes that even made me cringe. This is NOT a movie for kids, or folks whose laces are tied a bit tight(as noted by a few bad reviews,... 'What did you expect, Teddy Ruxpin?'). Most people will find this quite funny. 'Most'.

This movie stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, and the voice of Seth MacFarlane (of Family Guy fame) as Ted. Its the story of Mark Wahlbergs character as a child wishing for a friend and getting a real live teddy bear. They grow up and hilarity ensues. I believe this is the highest grossing rated R movie of all time so that should be all you need to know. This version comes with a theatrical and unrated version of the films and also contains an HD Digital Copy that can be redeemed on CinemaNow, Vudu, Flixster and others. The majority of the jokes would be considered "low brow" humor but that is part of its charm in my opinion. Seth MacFarlane goes to great lengths to be rude and crude and it works.

Such a funny movie and was a great price. I love searching through the sale DVDs at Best Buy.

"Ted" was an amusing film from the gutter mouth behind "Family Guy," "American Dad," and "The Cleveland Show," writer/actor Seth McFarlane. In "Ted", we get an actually heart-warming tale of a man and his childhood teddy bear, whom he wished could talk. His wish was granted, and little John Bennett grew up with his best friend, Ted, a teddy bear with a heart of gold and a mouth like a sailor. Now an adult, Bennett and Ted smoke pot, drink beers, and watch "Flash Gordon" together. But Bennett's girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis, "That '70s Show", "Forgetting Sarah Marshall") thinks it's time that Ted go, so that she can remake John into a proper adult. The cast is great, with Patrick Stewart ("Star Trek: The Next Generation") narrating and character actors Giovanni Ribisi ("Avatar," "My Name Is Earl") and Joel McHale ("Community", E!'s "The Soup") rounding out the cast. Don't expect "Masterpiece Theatre" here, kids, or even a cuddly Disney film, because that this ain't. But it's not a bad two hours spent, either.

Basically, if you liked Family Guy before it became unwatchable, this movie should be pleasing to you. Many of the jokes in the movie are surprising and unusual, and the humor depends a lot on the characters and their relationships. Fortunately, Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis deliver plenty of heart and charm to the story, and their performances are the reason so much of the humor works. The unrated edition on the disc doesn't add a huge amount of value, but it brings a few decent new laughs and is probably the best version of the movie to watch.
