When John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) was a little boy, he made a wish that Ted (Seth MacFarlane), his beloved teddy bear, would come alive. Thirty years later, foul-mouthed Ted is still John's constant companion, much to the chagrin of Lori (Mila Kunis), John's girlfriend. Though Lori's displeasure is exacerbated by the pair's constant consumption of beer and weed, she's not the one who's most disappointed with John; it may take the intervention of John's boyhood toy to help him grow up at last.

Critics Consensus

Ted's "romance versus bromance" plot is familiar, but the film's held aloft by the high-concept central premise and a very funny (albeit inconsistent) script.

For what it's meant to do, Ted is a hilarious and enjoyable flick that makes great use of its rather familiar plot by injecting R-rated gags into a lively, ridiculous ride.

teniendo en cuenta que es comedia mezclada con romance se centra un poco en lo que el conflicto de las relaciones y malos ratos es una comedia muy divertida al igual que su secuela le agrega un modismo mexicano que le agrega un toque comico pero no deja de ser un clásico

The Spectator

The greatest compliment I can pay Seth MacFarlane's Ted is that although this is essentially one of those slacker, stoner comedies, and such comedies aren't really my thing... this did make me laugh quite a bit.

It is a film that seems to have an endless middle.

Irish Times

There's just enough mileage in the gag to keep the movie spluttering through an energetic series of pop-cultural references and broadly staged orgies of profanity.

Rated: 4/5

EscribiendoCine

With Family Guy-style jokes and references to Springfield, the humor, based on current topics such as homosexuality, sex, and other vices... permeates all elements of the film, from comedy to romance, suspense, action and comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 8/10

Every Movie Has a Lesson

"Ted," while extremely funny in individual jokes here and there, suffers from that lame and predictable story, especially for something that advertises itself to be as daring.

Rated: 2/5

Deep Focus Review

Ted becomes a character that’s more than just a plot device or source of vulgar humor; he’s one of those oddly real characters brought to life by subtle and effective special FX.

Rated: 3/4
