Ted

"A predictably irreverent satire that's sweeter and, sadly, less funny than you might expect."

"The sin of "Ted" is not that it is offensive but that it is boring, lazy and wildly unoriginal."

"The plot of is fairly standard but greatly embellished by MacFarlane's ability to establish comic situations and keep them building."

"To fully appreciate "Ted," it's best to simply forgive its bad behavior upfront and save any apologies for liking it until later. Sorry."

"Not too many films serve up laughs that just keep on rolling with regularity from beginning to end, but Seth MacFarlane's directorial debut does so and without any feeling of strain."

"An incongruously cute interspecies buddy comedy that's powered alternately by the pixie dust of boyhood imagination and the ruder, cruder urges of adolescence."
