I'm not a big watcher of movies, but one of my kids wanted "Ted" for Christmas, & we watched it tonight & it is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Touching as well. I give it 4 stars.

Is that 4 stars out of 4 or 10?

Aren't movies rated on a 4 star system?

Waiting for the time when I can finally say
That this has all been wonderful, but now I'm on my way

There are different rating systems (i.e. IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes). The 4 star system is inherently flawed because just about every movie gets 2 or 3 stars.

Ted was alright, I suppose. It got quite a bit hamfisted with its metaphorical sledgehammer; insomuchas ted is clearly the representation of marky mark's inner child so as the movie went on and on it had to go through the motions of the canned/hackneyed love story in peril because, gasp, marky mark has to decide if he wants to "grow up" and "be a man" to "take the next step" with meelah kuntis or does he want to forever remain a funloving immature little kid with Ted?

like any seth macfarlane outing, the individual gags are the strengths.... and the random flash gordon subplot delivered the goods. i forgot that crappy lil movie had such an epic soundtrack: FLASH.... DAH DAH DAH.... FLASH!!!

but hey, major films have to appeal to a low/est common denominator, and given the state of ameritainement these days (we haven't risen up and started a reasonable revolution to ensure that the country that won world war 2 isn't subjecting a significant % of its populace to honey boo boo) welp, * inhales and holds in the hit, feeling reality jiggle around his head before exhaling a giant puff of smoke * it is what it is, man.... it is what it is*. </profoundrevelations>

* = i haven't smoked in a very long time, something like 8+ months. i'm emeritus, and lord knows you lot can vouch for me in that i'm spaced out enough as it is =D

Ted was in my top 5 of the year. A lot of people think it'll be a "one joke" movie about a Bear who makes dirty jokes, but there's more to it.

Overrated.

Still good.

Much like the Hangover

yep. Ok movie, nothing special. If anything, it should've been a lot funnier than it was.

Damn, I haven't seen yet. But if you're comparing it to the overrated-ness of the hangover, I'm in for a big disappointment.

The Hangover is great the first like 2 times you see it. After that it becomes very 'meh' outside of a few Allan lines.

I liked the Hangover. Ted was ok. You know what you are in for.

The Hangover was the most overrated comedy since American Pie.

I think saying "The Hangover is overrated" is overrated. Even the people who really like the movie don't think it's anything more than a funny throw away movie about getting drunk.

I saw it maybe three weeks after it came out after listening to nearly every single person I know say it was one of the greatest comedies of all time.

It was hyped up in theaters but I still think it's amazing the first time you see it. It becomes a good movie when you already know all the twists.

Either way it made so much money that they decided to do a sequel.

With a 3rd on the way in the spring or summer

I'll wait for the Hangover 4 to come out starring Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider & David Spade.

Ted was just eh. Felt like the current state of Family Guy, meaning just a bunch of swing and misses.

I think American Pie is a great movie that can hold its own with others in the pantheon of the coming of age comedy genre

American Pie was hilarious when I was in High School. It doesn't really hold up now that I am older.

They're talking about the movie, not the song.

Why would that song be hilarious?
