Title: Funny, original-ish and worth the $2 (but not more than that)
Review: Funny concept, executed well. Seth McFarlane's brand of humor was over-the-top as expected. As a fan of "Family Guy" I found that I had a hard time reconciling Ted's voice as it's the same as Peter Griffin's (they even make light of that in the movie). The major plot problems surround whether or not Ted is actually alive.While he drinks and smokes and somehow has sex throughout the movie, he's apparently incapable of just going dormant like the toys in Toy Story and has to get his own place. Considering what happens, he is also not *really* alive and becoming organic on the inside like Chucky was, so the drive to the climax of the story feels totally fabricated and fake when Wahlberg's character decides he wants to grow up and chooses his girl (Kunis) over Ted and mayhem ensues. Still, it was funny at several points and worth exactly the $2 I paid to see it.
Is the review positive or negative?
