Ted

Tonight I finally saw the movie Ted. It was showing at a theater called West Boylston Cinemas that plays movies after they leave normal theaters and before they come out onto DVD. It is usually a good idea to go to this theater because it costs much less than normal theaters, probably about $4 or more cheaper depending on where and when you go.

This was a really funny movie, though it did seem to be a live action version of Family Guy, however it was still really funny. I think this movie was funnier than some of the newest episodes of Family Guy because this was a movie, and typically there is a lot more time put into making movies than a television show. I can definitely understand that Seth Macfarlane used a lot of his style of humor and references when he directed this movie, which is why it can be compared to Family Guy so easily. Here are some of the similarities: a seemingly innocent thing able to talk and use adult humor, some bizarre daydreaming, a weird fight between a guy and something you wouldn't expect, and a climactic chase scene.

Overall, this was a good movie making great use of Mark Walberg, Mila Kunis, and even Patrick Stewart who was the narrator. I was surprised at some of the random celebrity appearances.
