Review of Ted

Ted (2012)
7/10
Light on story, but very funny
5 February 2013
I must start off by saying; I'm not a Seth MacFarlane fan. I don't think I have ever watched an entire episode of American Dad or Family Guy. But after watching the trailers and a couple of clips of Ted, I thought it looked funny and I'd give it a go.

If you don't mind sexism, mild racism, jokes in poor / bad taste, I'm sure you'll love this film. But then, I guess that could apply to all Seth MacFarlane's back catalogue. In short, if you offend easily - don't watch this film.

Ted is all over the place as a film. Even though there is at least one central theme running through it, I still felt it was more a collection of funny sketches than a well crafted story, hence my low rating. But, Ted is almost certain to make you laugh if you aren't easily offended. I laughed out loud at least 7 or 8 times and chuckled quite a few times. If you get Seth MacFarlane's humor - give Ted a go, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. But if you are expecting a film with great plot and character development, you will be left wanting. In short, it is crude, vulgar, offensive and extremely funny.
