Not that great of a movie. It has some superstar actors. These two are really the most oddest couple to fall in love. Will Smith also makes me laugh, but that's about it.

Simple set up plot is fast just the script needed help, Basically the script needed the Carrie Fisher treatment she was a renound script editor. Strangely she worked on 3 of Whoppis scripts. Basically if a script was terrible or they didn't translate too well on camera Carrie would be called in and edit and give advice. Carrie Fisher used a lot of pen names so you never knew it was her. But the Carrie Fisher treatment was created! There is not a lot to say about this movie so I kinda just avoided that I like Whoopi and I like Ted!

Entertaining movie but not happy that animals (bear, elephant,..) are used and abused in Hollywood.

Common Sense Media

But in terms of achieving cheap laughs, this movie doesn't care about making sense. Its weakness is that it succumbs to the kind of dumb humor that runaway elephants supply.

...a predominantly affable comedy that benefits from the thoroughly compelling and charming efforts of its stars...

Benjamin gives the film a sunny, screwball feeling and works nicely with a charming cast.
