I do like Family Guy and American Dad though both are getting pretty tired these days. This film was appallingly bad, it didn't so much as raise a smile much less a laugh. A lazy sloppy plot with the same boring tired references and jokes of the aforementioned shows. The idea has so much potential but it was just not realised.

Ted's party rocked, but after that it was just a load of hollywood romantic bollocks

I was expecting some lame movie, but it is actually quite funny and serious. If you are an 80's kid, you will like this. Who doesn't want to do coke with Flash Gordon? And Ribisi is fucking hilarious.

good for some laughs, oddly crude.

Nothing wrong with it.

Part of my enjoyment came from the pop-culture references, particularly an extended riff on the 1980 film Flash Gordon that includes Sam J. Jones as himself. The sweetness that grounds the film isn't sappy, but rather comes from likable performances by the reliable Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis as the girlfriend. There’s a subplot featuring Giovanni Ribisi that doesn't work … this is far from a perfect movie. But it’s definitely better than you might think.

I'll get a lot of flack for saying this, but I actually Seth Macfarlane's style of humour works better in the chaotic, anarchic plotting of Family Guy, than it does in the restrained reigned in manner of Ted. Still, it's a decent film with it's moments. +5 for Flash Gordon

Better than pretty much every recent Family Guy episode because the random references are hooked to an actual story. The characters are easy to identify with and it is entertaining. It's not constantly funny and the bits with Ribisi, which the climax hinges on, are just off. More Joel McHale could have helped.

Seth MacFarlane fails to develop his comic style for the big screen, so what worked on TV now seems pretty thin. There are some extremely funny moments, to be sure (Ted and his manager have two hysterical brief scenes; the "white trash name" bit is great), the acting is surprisingly good, and the special effects truly bring Ted to life. But the hackneyed troubled-romance and kidnapping plots--and a generally predictable air--drag it down...as do the all-too-frequent stretches lacking in laughs.

Typical McFarlane style, offensive but enjoyable.

Cool concept, but pfffff after the first 10 minutes it gets boring real fast..

Ted disappointed me. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I didn't laugh nearly as much as I thought I would. It does contain a strong cast, but not much is done with many of them. All of the funny lines go to MacFarlane's animated teddy bear, and that one joke can only stay so funny for so long. The plot is an afterthought, the whole film is too long, and while I did enjoy it, I didn't enjoy it enough to recommend giving it a watch. It represents promise, but not much more for McFarlane.

A toy that acts and sounds like Seth MacFarlane. Got pretty old after 10 minutes. I smiled roughly 9.5 times, so I give it that.

It's sometimes funny not because of its weed and sex jokes -- they are all over, and they are actually bad --, but the pop remarks that make this look like MacFarlane animation/cartoon background. So, we get nice stuff about Susan Boyle, Brandon Routh and Taylor Lautner, a couple of great scenes with Sam Jones, Ribisi dancing like a pervert -- and that's it.

"Seth MacFarlane's comedic modus operandi is to shock with outrageousness and pander with TV and movie citations via one non sequitur after another, a strategy that leads to a few laughs but nothing approaching lasting humor." - Nick Schager

PROBABLE SCORE 71, NOT THAT HOT, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

It's pretty much like a modern episode of Family Guy while being funnier than any episode of Family Guy in the past three years.

This bear is so helarious lool

You wouldn't want to rip open a child's stuffed animal if it wasn't any harm. But in the event that it comes to life and becomes a swearing, alcoholic womanizer, you would want to shred it.

cute and funny 10 out of 10

I don't mind nothing is sacred fun, but the boring and lazy plot is too much of a one-note joke going way more crap than clever - and I do mind unfunny comedies. A few moments of sweet charm and sexy MilaK - and a couple of other faces; hello LauraV and JessicaS! - helps a little, but they should be used more worthy than this. *Preview*: #12#, popcorn, hype, story, reviews, casting.

Cliched except for the fact that involves a talking stuffed animal, it doesn't change the fact that there are quite a few laughs.

*spoilers* I thought this was ok and I'd be willing to give it a second watch. I really enjoyed most of the jokes (and the fistfight) between Wahlberg and MacFarlane (the narrator's jokes are mediocre though). Giovani Ribisi's dancing is also great. Sadly, the plot itself is mostly cliche and forgettable. The party with Flash and the kidnapping and subsequent chase goes on much too long. The resolution is also pretty lame. McHale didn't really impress and the spoiled child was grating.

Gotta love the people who walked into a Seth MacFarlane movie and are using the "oh, it's too much Family Guy-like humor" as a knock against the movie. Your expectations are clearly fucked up. "Ted" is a very funny modern fairy tale whose comedy succeeds in carrying the 100-plus-minute run-time with relative ease; it didn't feel too long or too short. It's always great to see Mila. Comedies that try to add weighty emotional content often fall on their faces. Ted pulls it off. Cudos, Seth!

Think this was one of the funnier movies of this year so far. Some great lines thrown in there. Even the emotional stuff worked. I like Wahlberg.

The premise of an uncouth talking teddybear wears thin very quickly.

Its almost like Seth MacFarlane has tried to squeeze the jokes and adult humor from Family Guy into a film, a lot of the actors are those who voice over Family Guy. Those who like Seth's other work will find it funny, some of the jokes do hit the mark but the majority are run of the mill. Seth as obviously tried to stay away from doing a Family Guy film but in some ways this may as well have been one.

Starring a pot smoking, potty mouthed CGI character and riffing on Spielberg, this is closely related to last year's Paul in many ways, but the way MacFarlane utilizes his vast arsenal of low brow shenanigans camouflages the formalistic storyline, and leaves a pretty damn funny movie.

I didn't find the jokes funny and everything else about the film being so terribly calculated just felt frustrating.

Guy almost sacrifices his friendship with his awesome best friend in order to keep his relationship with a girl who is shallow and annoying but Mila Kunis. Plot and characters are standard Hollywood fare, and the humor is the same forced stuff you'd expect from Family Guy. I couldn't be bothered to watch it all.
