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.

What to Know

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.

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. Go to Full Review Violet Lucca Film Comment Magazine Jun 28, 2013
It is a film that seems to have an endless middle. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times Aug 3, 2012
4/5
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. Go to Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Sep 4, 2023
2/5
"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. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Oct 4, 2022
3/4
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. Go to Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Jun 29, 2022

Ten years after its release, films like Ted make one wonder what is it that we collectively saw in man-children on the screen. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
