Ted Review

There's not much that i can really say about TED over than it's an emotional rollercoaster. to be honest, i was growing tired of family guy and it's comedy. I thought that seth macfarlane was losing his touch with comedies. Now i love american dad, American dad has a deeper meaning and richer characters but with family guy, the comedy is there but not a rich back story to back it up. With Ted i think seth has recoiled his name and he's certainly gained some lost respect.

This is the exact same thing that i said about the dark knight rises, christopher nolan didn't look far for his actors, instead he used many actors from inception and placed them in the city of gotham. The word for dark knight rises is 'An inception reunion without leonardo di carpio'. You can see the same thing with TED, many characters have got appeared in family guy and some of them are solid roles, like Jeff's mum, she does the voice of lois, and then you get jeff's co worker who plays the role of Joe a handicapped police officer in family guy. I'm just saying seth didn't look very far for his actors.

when the movie was over, i asked my aunty what she thought of it and she said 'That was the biggest load of crap i've ever seen in my entire life' and i responded with, i thought that was brilliant and i think me and you have different types of humour. I laughed a few times during the film but in my eyes, it's not really laugh out comedy, sure the first 10 to 15 minutes were but the rest were references to other movies. Jeff and Ted loved movies like flash gordon and they have Tv/film based ringtones, like they had knight rider and Darth vader theme. I know that my 12 year old cousin didn't like it at all, first of all, he never laughed one bit and that's because it was too old for him, i'm not talking about the swearing and the sexual nature of the film, i'm talking about the movie references that they made during the film. Well flash gordon, airplane, knight rider, just to name a few.

I'm going to give this film a 8.5/10. If you're a film nut or a fan of seth's work like family guy, you'll love it. another reason i'm giving it an 8.5/10 because it's actually an original story about a bear that comes to life and he turns out to be swearing, drug taking, sexual devient creature that you can't help but love. how often do you actually see an original story come out of hollywood these days. Matter of face how often do you see an original story come to the pictures?

Thanks for reading
