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.

Read Critics Reviews

Deborah Ross 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. Sep 1, 2018 Full Review Violet Lucca Film Comment Magazine It is a film that seems to have an endless middle. Jun 28, 2013 Full Review Donald Clarke 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 Aug 3, 2012 Full Review José C. Donayre Guerrero 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 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Don Shanahan 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 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

help p The film follows the bond between John (Wahlberg) and Ted as they navigate adulthood and deal with their increasingly dysfunctional relationship. The humor is over-the-top, blending shock value with clever pop culture references, but it's not for everyone—it's crass and sometimes repetitive. MacFarlane's signature humor shines through, but the film's heart lies in its exploration of friendship and growing up. Ted is fun for fans of edgy comedies, but it won't be for those who are sensitive to adult humor. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review Audience Member Terrible Embarrassing Dross Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Alejandro Z very funny, a sour and dark humor, ideal to see her smoking weed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Obi-wan K Bur Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/09/25 Full Review CHRISTOPHER B Como película es realmente mala, pero de verdad me divertí viendo esto. La historia sin duda no tiene sentido pero te entretiene en todo momento. La verdad no espero nada para la segunda película pero aún así la veré. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Alfred Junior T Does bring the unexpected, funny and really enjoyable Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/05/24 Full Review Read all reviews

Synopsis 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.
