User Review
When John was 8 years old, no one in Boston was friends with him. Then his parents gave him a Teddy bear and a miracle happened. One day he fell asleep with the toy, and woke up with a living and talking Teddy, who became his friend, brother, and at the same time a TV star. Now John is 35, he lives with a beautiful Laurie, and Ted, who has turned into a pot-smoker, backstabber and womanizer, seriously threatens his personal happiness.

“Ted” was the directorial debut of Seth MacFarlane - the father of the aforementioned cartoons. This is a separate attraction: how a man who has built his career on absurdization and mockery of linear storytelling, will cope with a big ($50 million budget) Hollywood project, whether he can make the stars go crazy in the right direction.

The answer to the question is more complicated than it may seem. On the one hand, the trademark flashbacks and forays into parallel layers of pop culture have largely been abandoned. Where the viewer was happy to look at colorful pieces of a shattered plot, a conditional visitor to the multiplex could start demanding money back. We still allow ourselves to be fooled by far too few - except for David Lynch and maybe the occasional Richard Kelly. For this reason, McFarlane's movie develops according to all the laws of romantic comedy of growing up and seems to defiantly observe decency, from which fans of schizophrenic animation are unlikely to be delighted.

On the other hand - the director, shooting a real genre movie, managed to refresh it quite a bit. I mean, yes, you can name a lot of movies about how an old friend, a jerk, prevents you from building love, but in this case in this role is not even Carlson, but a real damn teddy bear, swearing in a smoky bass. Ted, by the way, is a separate and absolute victory of the authors: firstly, he is brilliantly worked out from the point of view of character development, and secondly, he looks really alive thanks to motion capture technology. But in addition, McFarlane gives the viewer a lot of rare pleasures: the dialog of a bear in a three-piece suit getting a job (as if seen in “Half a Liter Mouse”), the brilliant appearance of the star of the series “Community” Joel McHale and, finally, the return to the big screen of the legendary “Flash Gordon” Sam Jones as himself.

Surely there will be fans who will not like that the favorite author no longer operates with plots running in several directions at once, like a schizophrenic squirrel. But there's a more understandable explanation for that besides the offensive “sold out.” When McFarlane started “Family Guy”, he was 26, now he is 39 and it is just the right age when it's time to show your favorite toys their true place.

Well, and, after all, to find out that the man who everyone thought was a witty scumbag, is actually able to tell about the love of Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and a teddy bear - the pleasure is not undeniable, but much more powerful than it may seem at first glance.
