Ted

8 year old John Bennett wishes that his Teddy Bear nicknamed Ted would come to life and be his best friend. It happens and throughout their lives they remain best friends. They both grow up. Ted grows into a foulmouth pot smoking former 15-minute famer (the world knows about him) while John is a 35 year old normal guy trying to find his way but allows Ted to hold him back. Their friendship interferes with John's relationship with his girlfriend of 4 years.

The entire movie is exactly what it should be "a guy's guy comedy." Laughs abound. The ONLY part I thought in joking went too far was when Mark Wahlberg says to someone he hates "I hope you get Lou Gehrig's disease." EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK

On the plus side though if you watch the scene they discuss how John and his girlfriend met in a flashback club scene watch the waitress in the upper left corner of the screen. She walks down stairs and up to two patrons. One patron is a black guy with purple sweater...THAT'S ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Playing no favorites I did like the movie though. Not something I'd see three times in the theater but definitely a good comedy.
