Movie rating

 

Seth McFarlane is not only the director of the new comedy Ted, but also the "father" of Family Guy, with whom he continues to celebrate huge success. He's speaking the main character, Peter Griffin, which explains why the title character in Ted occurs as well-known. Even here, McFarlane says the title role. In his first feature film, he takes us through 105 fun, cheeky, silly and at times hard to digest minutes.

The story was actually a very normal little love story that really gets through the appearance of the teddy bear drive. The animated bear is the "hero" of the film, and it gives him any freedom. There is swearing, obscene moves and beaten, all with active participation of the plush toy. Especially the fight with Mark Wahlberg almost alone the price of admission is worth it. And if not then drop the sayings and Mila Kunis flutters her eyes, then you are simply lost. Should we now laugh out loud when the bear smoking hookahs and women anbaggert? Or you are annoyed by this nonsense, because that is offered?

Unfortunately, the film also has some background noise to be absorbed. Thus the narrative with Giovanni Ribisi is unfortunately not funny, and romantic moments may not really fit into the rough life of the special teddy bear.

In terms of actor director McFarlane relies on proven strength. Mila Kunis and Patrick Warburton are speakers in Family Guy, and Mark Wahlberg has proven not only in The Other Guys or Date Night, that he can be quite funny. His version of the theme song from Octopussy is terrific. The biggest coup is successful with the signing of Sam J. Jones - the Flash Gordon, who could then make out with Ornella Muti. His role here? Grin and look yourself...

Quite that way we can get even Tom Skerritt and singer Norah Jones to see. And Patrick Stewart is heard in the original version as a narrator.

May those who love Family Guy, Ted is also - quite simple: Conclusion. The humor is similar, the votes are there anyway. Allowed to laugh a lot, even if not ignite all the jokes and the level of concern falls almost in between. Nevertheless, great entertainment is guaranteed. We promise!
