TED

 Ted is one of those movies that always gets over hyped, however Seth Macfarlane manages very well for the most part to keep you laughing out loud, while managing to keep a solid structure to a quite heart warming story.  Don't get me wrong I'm not saying its perfect, far from it... 

  Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett (sounds like an Arnie special) does well, but is a little lost at moments and Mila Kunis as Lori Collins is good as the girl friend that always has a problem with her boyfriends lack of prospects, responsibility and best friend (but what's new there).  The major star here though of course is Ted voiced by Seth himself, nearly all the jokes go through him and he is truly great start to finish.  Also watch out for Giovanni Ribisi as Donny who I thought played a great part.  This film is quite nostalgic at the beginning (for me anyway).  It is also thought provoking towards the end and gets across its change of mood well. 

  In closing this is a good starting point for Seth Macfarlane (shame about his most recent escapades) showing a few of his abilities as a director. Well worth a watch even if you choose to miss it on the big screen.
