Extremely funny movie which contains many laugh out loud moments, and a simple structure well executed, even if Mark Wahlberg is too old for his role. They keep calling him 35 but he doesn't look it, and there's a real gap between him and Mila Kunis. Both give good performances, though, as do the people who helped create "Ted". (The special effects are well done).
Jam packed with pop culture references, I mean really jam packed: Flash Gordon, Flying High, Boogie Nights, Tom Skerritt, Norah Jones, etc. It also went on too long, and the Joel McHale section didn't really work (the tone felt out or something), and it's got that strand of misogyny you often find in boysie comedies (there are a couple of scenes with these hot chicks just kind of standing around eg. the one at Wahlberg's work, the ones at Kunis' work) but was generally a lot of fun.
