Ted

I was really excited for Ted after seeing the profane trailer. I was looking for mindless humor from a teddy bear that cursed and acted insanely inappropriate, but this ventured too much into the Walberg/Kunis love story for me. This was not a showcase for Ted, but rather a love story with Ted being a funny side character. Kunis after four years of dating Wahlberg's character (John Bennett) realizes he isn't going anywhere/doing anything with his life and offers an ultimatum to have Ted move out and do his own thing. Wahlberg can't stay away from his best friend of the past 30 years and relapses. Here's where the humor and fun lie. Ted and John hanging out and getting into trouble. This has a great cast of Wahlberg, Kunis, Seth McFarlane, Patrick Wharburton in a tragically small role, Giovanni Ribisi, and Joel Mchale. It's still funny and worth watching, it's just not the movie I was expecting.

Bottom line: Don't spend $10 on this one, but definitely rent it when it's out. It's some cheap laughs from some very good actors and a love story that detracts from those things.
