"OK so that's where we'll draw the line."
Ted is funny. Honestly though... I wanted it to be more outrageous, laugh til you cry, offensive, over-the-top, unbelievable, shocking, gut-busting funny. And only some scenes were close to that. So I was a little disappointed. Don't get me wrong, Ted has some really funny stuff. I just expected a live-action version of the "Family Guy" humor to be better than it was. The film focuses too much on the Mark Wahlberg-Mila Kunis relationship, which nobody really cares about. Let's be honest, you're going to this movie to see a stuffed animal to completely ridiculous shenanigans. As always though, go see it and judge for yourself. Ted gets laughs, it just won't cement itself as a new & influential comedy classic like The Hangover or Bridesmaids.
3 out of 5
P.S. My favorite part of the movie was its (now familiar to me) Boston setting. It made me miss the city and look forward to going back in August.
