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 06/28/2013
It is a film that seems to have an endless middle. Go to Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times 08/03/2012
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 09/04/2023
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 10/04/2022
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 06/29/2022

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

bruce C @bruce999 7h one bad joke after another. dumb, it is over-rated. very few funny moments. See more John K @WQCMI 1d Brilliant movie, one of the best films I have seen in my life. The comedy is brillaint, the story is incredible and the cast is unreal. See more Tripp J @Tripp317 4d It’s so funny what something that is great based off of Family Guy See more Leonel V @RT58219506 Jun 15 Es una buena película con una historia que tiene muy buenos momentos y algo que me gusta mucho es el humor, siento que no es tanto mi tipo de humor pero me hizo reír toda la película y pido que los personajes tienen el carisma suficiente para no sentirse tan planos en la historia y algo muy bueno es la dinámica de ted y Johny, se siente realmente que son amigos de toda la vida See more James T @RT22748425 May 31 It had its moments, but the plots feels a bit sloppy looking back. Still, worth a watch, and another(in a few months or so.) See more Teague F @RT62421317 May 30 This movie is so amazing that everyone with half a brain would love it. Since it's made by the same creator (Seth MacFarlane), it kind of feels like a Family Guy episode, and it has multiple references to Family Guy. All the crude humor and drug use are really cool to see in a movie about a talking teddy bear. (If this movie were made today, it wouldn't be half as popular, so I'm glad it was made when it was.)
