I think a lot of people miss the entire point of this film. The mere fact that it centres around a talking teddy bear should be a clue that this is just irreverent comedy and nothing more, yet it seems like many critics are aghast at its lack of seriousness and authenticity.

Unlike most comedies made this century, Ted is actually funny. The gags are vulgar and often predictable but they are nonetheless very amusing and perfectly timed. And honestly, what more do you want? This is just a good piece of comic relief.

On top of that, its a very slick looking film with great animation and a well-conceived score. My only real complaint is that Mark Wahlberg does not work as the hapless middle-aged failure. He is just too clean-cut too pull it off and its hard to buy into him being so tragic. I think this role would have been a perfect fit for Vince Vaughn who is much better at carrying off these type of characters.

One of the few gross-out comedies that actually works. Don't take it seriously, just sit back and enjoy the sheer nihilistic ridiculousness of it all.

Good and fun film. Loads of great humor. Definitely worth a watch.

Enjoyable comedy coming-of-age story with a novel character, a boozy talking teddy bear. Mark Wahlberg is an underrated comedian. He does commit. Mila Kunis is average actress but plays believable role.

I enjoy the premise and the jokes and the whole idea of growing up and losing some parts while not giving up others, and making the proper choices. The ending was a bit stale but mixed with some pathos. I ended up feeling for that teddy too.

I like the conversation about coming of age the story has, that the teddy bear character isn't just a novelty but a solid part of the plot. Despite some less inspiring parts, high points for creativity and strong primary and secondary characters peppered throughout.
