Movie review
Anyone who's watched Family Guy knows that its
creator Seth MacFarlane has a lot of hang-ups. As outrageous as many of
them are in their animated TV show forum, they get a real rundown in Ted,
MacFarlane's multi-hyphenate debut in feature films. As the director,
producer, cowriter, and voice artist behind the title character,
MacFarlane riffs on pop culture, drug culture, religion, sex, bodily
functions, and all things '80s with the kind of abandon that borders on
offensive to pretty much anyone--if only it all weren't so spot-on
funny. Ted is an utterly believable CGI teddy bear who comes to life in
the arms of a friendless 8-year-old boy named John, who quickly grows up
to be Mark Wahlberg. John has made a wish that the pudgy plush be a
friend for forever, a deal that they both hold on to with genuine
poignancy as the years roll by. Ted grows right along with John in
voice, manner, attitude, and bad habits until they're both unmotivated
layabouts who would rather do nothing more than swill beer, smoke dope,
and watch the absurdly iconic '80s movie Flash Gordon over and
over again to the exclusion of most everything else in life. John has
managed to pick up a girlfriend named Lori (Mila Kunis), who somehow
tolerates the pair of them--at least for a little while. Eventually
she's annoyed enough with John for not putting away his childish things,
thoughts, and behaviors that she demands Ted move out and let them move
on as adults. Among all the conceits that Ted embraces is the
fact that this fully anthropomorphized stuffed bear started life as a
global celebrity sensation before everyone forgot about him. Now he's
just a blue-collar Boston nobody who sucks on a bong, chases women, and
makes dirty jokes at every opportunity while nobody pays attention. This
could have been a generic lowbrow buddy movie in the Judd Apatow mold,
which might have been a little funny with a human slob in the Ted role.
But MacFarlane brings to the remarkably expressive CGI creation an
astonishing and often shocking dynamic with his voice characterization
and the consistently clever situations, which whiz by in a structure
that's pretty similar to an episode of Family Guy. There are
frequent non sequitur digressions and offhanded one-liners that
MacFarlane could never get away with on TV. But in the raunchy,
anything-goes world of Ted it's all fair game. In addition to
farts, drugs, bodily functions, and all manner of sexual vulgarity, it's
the slams or homages to the 1980s that are the butt of many of the best
zingers or recurring jokes. There are several cameo appearances that
may make for delighted double takes. And Sam Jones, the star of the
ill-fated Flash Gordon, plays a version of himself that makes a
running gag all the more ingenious and demonstrates how far MacFarlane
will go to bring comedy down to his level of hilarity. Mark Wahlberg
should be commended for being game enough to participate and absolutely
shows the comedy chops to make his scenes with Ted come alive.
Technically the movie is a wonder as the two-foot Ted blends into the
real world with complete believability even as he spouts some of the
most outrageous dialogue this side of The Hangover. Ted
may be an acquired taste for those who have a dislike for MacFarlane's
comic sensibility--and there are a lot of people who do. But as a
laughable lowbrow adventure that delivers virtually nonstop unexpected
laughs with a little heart to back it up, Ted is a surprising comic novelty that may even win over some of the most vituperative MacFarlane haters. --Ted Fry
