The 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.

Review Samplings:
LOVED IT!
Bob Mondello, NPR
"I tried to resist but couldn't."
LIKED IT!
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
"Underneath the matted fur of the movie's foul-mouthed bear beats a very real heart."
DISLIKED IT!
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
"The idea of a toy that comes to life - and then won't go away - isn't a bad one. Too bad that "Ted" manages to overstay its welcome without ever really coming to life itself."

When reading reviews remember:
"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how its done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves."
--Brendan Behan (successful Irish dramatist)
"Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck."
--Eli Wallach (award winning screen actor) |
