Ted: Funniest Movie of All Time?

Yes... wait, no... well maybe it's the funniest movie of all time? Regardless of whether it can take the title of "funniest of all time," Ted at least makes me have to think about it. In world filled with mediocre and stupid comedy movies, Ted finally can satisfy the humor taste buds of even the pickiest consumers.

The Official Red Band (unrated) trailer for Ted

The premise of Ted revolves around a young boy name John who wishes his teddy bear were real. When he wakes up to find his wish has comes true, John and Ted decide to be best friends forever. 

Now fast forward 25 years...

John has found perhaps the love of his life in an extremely successful advertising agent named Lori, but his relationship of doing irresponsible (and illegal) acts with Ted jeopardizes his future with her. In a desperate attempt to help John grow up and take control of his life, Lori gives John an ultimatum: either she moves out or Ted does. John must decide to just stay a boy with his teddy bear, or grow up and leave his beloved Ted behind. 

Ted is one of those great movies to just go see with you best buds. It draws ties in your mind to the best times you have had with your friends, exploring the interesting depth of "bromance" among men these days. The humor is also very clever, and Seth MacFarlane's knowledge and employment of pop culture references go unmatched, but the characters also have good depth. You can really get connected with the characters, and the movie resonates as one of those "feel good" types. 

Be sure you get out and see Ted with your best buds, but don't just take my word for it. Check out the ratings of some of the most prominent movie review groups.
