Before I decide on watching a movie in the theaters, i go online and look up the rating of the movie i want to see on Rotten Tomatoes. The commercials for Seth MacFarlane's movie Ted was hysterical. I thought, "A movie with a drunk obnoxious bear?" Im in, plus MacFarlane, creator of Family Guy can do no wrong right? On Rotten Tomatoes there are two types of opinions, one is the opinions of the movie experts, the "critics". The second is the opinion of the people, the "fans". Critics gave it 68% while the fans gave it 84%. Usually these two percentages are fairly close, but this was a huge gap.
So i called up my friend and we went and saw it. The movie did not disappoint, it was one the funniest movies ive seen in a long time. Ted is raunchy and funny but it's also surprisingly sweet natured. Theres points int he movie when you forget your watching a Rated R movie. The Party scene with Flash..haha, im laughing just thinking about it. My friend who is Chinese, her first language isn't English but she loved it. The crazy gags deliver laughs, but even crazier is, by the end, how much affection one feels for this most unconventional family. Credit to Wahlberg, he brought the Teddy to live. MacFarlane is known for his "flashbacks" in Family Guy and he incorporates those same tricks with ease in this movie. Easy recommendation, if you enjoy comedy you wont be disappointed.
