I got reminded of this movie when I saw Andy Roddick retweet something from the fan account called Hilarious Ted recently. I didn’t enjoy the movie when I had watched it in the theatre, and couldn’t fathom as to why this movie became a huge hit. My company for the day was (is?) a fan of Mila Kunis, and I expected that he’d enjoy the movie – he hated it more than me.
When I read the tweets, I realized that they come across as more hilarious than when I heard similar stuff as dialogues. Also, the setting is fully American and that takes some time in getting used to.
The story is that of a friendless boy John who finds a magical teddy bear Ted that can talk, and they grow up together. Well, the years roll on and both remain fairly immature. John’s longtime girlfriend is Lori (Mila Kunis) and she increasingly gets annoyed that John remains childish in Ted’s company – there is one awful scene where she is forced to clean up the mess (human shit) caused by hookers in the apartment.
Watch the movie for some laughs, and for a non-serious Mark Wahlberg. I have watched him in many movies, and he usually plays intense characters. I must add that he scared me in his role as David McCall in Fear.
