Movie Review - Ted

"When you hear the sound of thunder, don’t you get too scared.
Just grab your thunder buddy and say these magic words:
F*-k you thunder, you can suck my d*-k.
You can’t get me thunder, cause you’re just God’s farts."


Used to know that lyrics? Yes, it's the thunder song sung by Ted and his bestie, John, in the film 'Ted'. I watched this film about 3 weeks ago. This cute looking teddy bear has caught my attention since its trailer was published long before the film itself was published. So I was so excited to watch this film and had a high enough expectation on it.


In my humble opinion, film 'Ted' has a simple yet a realistic idea and story plot. It tells about John, a boy who was not so popular in his childhood and ask for a best friend on a Christmas eve. Miraculously, his wish came true, and that bestie came in the form of a teddy bear doll, which could speak, think, and act as a normal usual boy. John then named this doll as Ted.

John and Ted grew up together and supported each other through all the moments of life, until John finally has had a girlfriend, Lori. And from this situation, things changed and it came to a point where John had to choose between his bestfriend, Ted, or his love, Lori.

This film has a good message in it, which teaches us how to behave wisely in life, how to treat everybody well, to learn responsibility, to grow up and be mature, and to know how to mean a relationship & friendship as well. 

But, honestly, for me, this film is really an adult film *if you know what I mean*. There are so many vulgar scenes and dialogues, and it doesn't fit well with the image of a cute teddy bear. Yeah, I think maybe that's the way the producer wants, to give the other image of a cute-looking teddy bear, lol.

Well, that's a little review of mine about Ted. Happy watching!
