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.

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

Cochina, asquerosa, con cosas tan inapropiadas que no voy a escribirlas, da pena ajena, fomenta idiotez extrema y por favor nunca la veas (te volverá tarado y sacrificarás parte del sentido común el cuál lamentablemente escasea en la sociedad, el cuál debemos salvar porque para nada conviene que hayan porquerías, son malas).

Really unique movie that fits into the category of "not being for kids, but still has a teddy bear". I thought it was pretty good, but it's surprisingly forgettable. I mean, no one talks about this movie anymore. You should definitely see it though.

I didn't like the ending. It felt as if the scriptwriter wanted Lori to follow his orders instead of letting the character that he created choose a path for itself.
