Ted

Movie:  Ted
Major Actors:  Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis, Seth MacFarlane, Joel McHale, Giovanni Ribisi
Rating: R
Best Audience: This has an R rating, so only 17 and up can get into the theater to see it.  It can be crude and offensive, so if you can get past that, you will enjoy the comedy.

Review:

Similarly to what I said in my review for The Dictator , adults who are not easily offended and enjoy crude comedy will like this.  Seth MacFarlane's style is very similar to Judd Apatow (Knocked Up, 40-Year Old Virgin) in that it is crude comedy, with very serious drama added in there too. 

Ted was very funny, and I enjoyed it.  I was surprised at how much drama was in the movie.  The relationship conflict was very real.  The talking teddy bear played by Seth MacFarlane had most of the jokes, however a lot of funny moments in the movie came from Joel McHale (Community), who played the boss of Mila Kunis's character. 

If you enjoy Judd Apatow movies and the show Family Guy, you will probably enjoy this movie.
