Movie Review: TED with uncut trailer.

Ted is a movie about a teddy bear who gains life by the wish of his owner John Bennet, played by Mark Walhberg. You may think this sounds like your typical children's movie, but that is as typical as it gets. Ted and John grow up together and 27 years later are still living together and having fun, except their fun is now drinking, partying and smoking marijuana, it's not a stoner movie though. Ted is raunchy, full of crude humor and it crosses the line on some jokes. Ted is also a very funny movie! Some critics have called Ted boring, unoriginal and unrealistic. I would like to say something to those critics....  It's a movie about a freaking teddy bear that gets life through a wish, what the hell where you expecting? Not all criticisms of the movie have been negative though, some said it was the funniest movie of the year so far. Drake's Reviews must say that the movie was quite funny indeed, but that if you do not like crude humor you may not enjoy it as much, after all this is a Seth McFarlane movie and he is better known for his cartoon, Family Guy which some love and others hate. The material however is fresh not just rehashed jokes from his show. It does have references to other movies or TV series but nothing that audiences would be unfamiliar with. The movie is a constant joke after another but at a certain point it slows down a bit and it can be a little boring if only because up until that point the audience has been laughing non-stop. The movie crosses the line at some points but it is nothing as bad as what Borat did. The ending of the movie is not an unexpected one but even then it manages to catch your attention one more time and make itself memorable, but the movie tends to be anti-climatic, although this reviewer can remember two specific scenes where the audience couldn't stop laughing, there was some comedy gold in Ted. Drake's Reviews recommends watching it, but remember it's crude and cruel at points but it is a comedy movie and it is not to be taken seriously.

Drake's Reviews Score 8.5 out of 10
