Ted



Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Seth MacFarlane(Voice of Ted), Mila Kunis
Director: Seth MacFarlane
Genre: Comedy, Fantasy

Absolute entertainment. Less of a kids thing but more of a guys thing.

Pluses:
  • Seth MacFarlane, for creating the character 'Ted' and producing it as well :) He was a very convincing voice behind a live fluffy toy
  • The character of Ted may get some mixed reviews, i shall have my take on both, but i cant deny the fact that it never failed to amuse the audience throughout, and without whom the movie will have nothing to boast about. Ted is funny, he is adult, he is a best buddy, he has commitments and at the same time he can be irresponsible. Ted is a mixed bag and very well explained how it grew up to be something like this :)
  • Its a best watch with your gang of buddies, not over a popcorn certainly but some beer :)
  • Script is written very light heartedly, it doesnt invite too much of criticism. However,i am glad that it was released in India :P
  • Mark Wahlberg, felt more of a supporting character in the presence of Ted, Nevertheless, his role was equally involving and important. He did his best job
  • Mila Kunis, didnt have much to do, it wasnt her story after all. She did well in what she was asked to do
Minuses:
  • A big NO to the ignorant parents who may mistake it to be a kiddie stuff. Parents are sure to repent if they commit this mistake. And thats a flaw in the way the movie was promoted. It looked very much a Universal flick to the ignorant eyes. Its a big time adult flick
  • Here is where i can say, the character of Ted at a lot of instance was over done, could be even called way too offensive and a few things could be parked at the bay


My rating: 3.5/5
