Plot
In 1985, in the city of Swampscott, Massachusetts, a lonely kid named John Bennett (Brett Manley) dearly wishes for his new Christmas gift, a teddy bear he names Teddy, to come to life to be his best friend since he doesn't have any of his own. The wish succeeds with a falling star and Teddy finally becomes a fully mobile sentient living being (voiced by Zane Cowans). After John's parents Steve (Ralph Garman) and Helen Bennett (Alex Borstein) got over the shock, word of the miracle spread and Teddy right away became a celebrity.
27 years later, in 2012, John (Mark Wahlberg) and Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), now living in the South End neighborhood of Boston, are still staunch, if immature, best friends enjoying a hedonistic life, even while John is pursuing a relationship with a level-headed office worker named Lori Collins (Mila Kunis). As the 4th anniversary of their relationship approaches, Lori hopes to marry John, but she feels that he can't move ahead with his life with Ted around, who is now a rude, foul-mouthed alcoholic. John is resistant to making Ted leave, but he's finally persuaded that night to act when he and Lori see Ted with four prostitutes (one of whom has pooped on the floor during a game of Truth or Dare) on the couch at home.
John finds Ted his own apartment and a job at a grocery store, where his grossly irresponsible behavior on the job manages to get him promoted and acquainted with the superficial co-worker Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth). John and Ted still spend most of their time together, which frustrates Lori when she discovers John has been skipping work to do so while using her for his excuses. Meanwhile, an obsessed stalker named Donny (Giovanni Ribisi), who idolized Ted as a child, shows interest in possessing him for his bratty son Robert (Aedin Mincks). Things start to come to a head when John and Lori are invited to a party put on by Lori's lecherous manager Rex (Joel McHale), and Ted lures John away to a wild party at his apartment with the offer to meet Sam J. Jones (playing himself), the star of their favorite movie Flash Gordon. Even though John intends to stay for a few minutes, he gets caught up in the occasion which gets completely out of control, with Sam J. Jones persuading John and Ted to snort cocaine, Ted singing karaoke, and him fighting a duck. Sooner or later, Lori finds John there and angrily breaks up with him. At that, John gets mad at Ted for ruining his life and tells him to stay away and that he can't see him anymore, despite Ted's pleas and him telling John (via his voice box) that he loves him.
Eventually, John and Ted confront each other about their ruined friendship in John's hotel room and John tells Ted that he sometimes wishes he got a Teddy Ruxpin for Christmas, which provokes Ted and he and John have a destructive fight. After a TV falls on John's scrotum, he and Ted apologize and say that they love each other while crying, feeling remorse over their fight. To get John back with Lori, Ted arranges with his old lover Norah Jones (playing herself) to help by having John express his love for Lori with a song during her concert, which is held at the Hatch Shell. Even though John's performance proves an embarrassment, Lori is touched by his attempt while repelled by Rex's sneering. Later, Ted meets Lori at her apartment and explains that he was responsible for John's lapse; but he offers to leave them alone forever if she goes to at least speak with him. Lori is persuaded, but moments after she leaves, Ted is kidnapped by Donny and Robert and taken to their house to function as Robert's victim and new teddy bear.
Ted is able to distract Robert and reach a phone to contact John for help, but he is soon re-captured. Realizing that Ted is in danger, John and Lori get in their car and find Donny's residence and chase him and Robert to save Ted. The chase leads to Fenway Park, where Robert tries to stop John and Lori from getting to Ted first, only to have John knock him out by punching him in the face. During the chase, Ted gets himself damaged and just when Donny gets a hold of him on the tower, Donny lets go of Ted and he falls onto the field, torn completely in half. A police car then shows up, making Donny run away. As John and Lori gather his stuffing, Ted relays his wish that John be happy with Lori as the magic that gave him life fades away.
Unable to accept Ted's death, a depressed John and Lori return to her apartment to repair Ted, but it proves useless. That night, Lori feels guilty about her part in the incident, so she quietly makes a wish on a falling star. The next morning, John sits down on the couch and hangs his head while looking over Ted's dead body. Fortunately, Ted is magically restored and after he tricks John into thinking he is retarded, he and Lori fully reconcile with Ted, who encourages them to resume their relationship.
With that resolution, John and Lori finally get married (with Sam Jones as their minister) and Ted comfortably accepts having a life of his own, with his misbehavior getting him somehow promoted to grocery store manager. Then the narrator (Patrick Stewart) says that Donny was arrested for kidnapping a teddy bear, but the charges were dropped when it sounded too stupid. It is also revealed that Robert got a personal trainer, lost an amount of weight, and went on to become Taylor Lautner.

The film currently has a 70% rating on Rotten Tomatoes with 181 reviews, with an average score of 6.4 / 10, saying "Ted's "romance versus bromance" plot is familiar, but the movie's held aloft by the high-concept central premise and a very funny (albeit inconsistent) script".[11] Based on the top critics, the film holds a 67% "fresh" rating based on 12 reviews, with an average score of 6.9 / 10. Review aggregate Metacritic has given the movie a weighted score of 62, based on 37 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews."[12]

Lawsuit
On July 16, 2014, Seth MacFarlane was hit with a lawsuit from the production company of Charlie the Abusive Teddy Bear (a series of Internet videos), claiming that Ted infringes on the copyright of its videos due to the Ted bear largely matching the background story, persona, voice tone, attitude, and dialogue of the Charlie bear.[29]
Sequel
- Main article: Ted 2
During the 2012 American Dad! Comic-Con panel, Seth MacFarlane stated that he was open to a sequel of Ted.[30] In September 2012, Steve Burke said that the studio would be looking to make a sequel to Ted "as soon as possible".[31] The film is set to be released on June 26, 2015.[32]
Trivia
- Originally, the film due to come out July 13, but following G.I. Joe: Retaliation's delay, it was moved up 2 weeks later.
- Tara Strong makes her first live-action motion picture appearance since National Lampoon's Senior Trip (1995), but she only voiced Ted's "I love you" function.
- The film has been received favorably from critics, but it has received acclaim from Seth MacFarlane's fans, praising the storyline, voice acting, visual effects, and its crude humor.
- Unlike MacFarlane's projects, Ted isn't distributed or produced by 20th Century Fox, his main company for making TV shows. Instead, it is handled by Universal Pictures.
- MacFarlane originally wanted to make Ted into an animated series, in a similar way to his shows Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show, as revealed in the behind the scenes.
- This is MacFarlane's first live-action work, except for Ted, who's animated through motion capture.
References to Family Guy
- During the party scene, Ted mentions Peter Griffin's name.
- The scene where Lori tells John to give her his car keys after lying to her about visiting Ted is loosely based on "Saving Private Brian," where Chris tells Quagmire to give him the car keys, otherwise, he'll beat him up. But in this movie, Lori just told him to give her the car keys.
- In addition to Seth MacFarlane (Peter, Brian, Stewie, and various other characters) and Mila Kunis (Meg), several cast members from the series also made minor or cameo appearances, such as, Alex Borstein (Lois) as Helen, Patrick Warburton (Joe) as Guy, Ralph Garman (additional cast) as Steve, Tara Strong (various characters until season 4) as Ted's "I love you" voice box, and others from the series made cameo appearances (like Mike Henry and Danny Smith).
- During the aquarium scene, when Ted is mocking the fishes in a variety of voices, one of them are Stewie's voice.
- Oddly, Ted and Stewie are both voiced by Seth MacFarlane.
- During the fight between John and Ted, we can hear some punching sounds from the series.
- Ted borrows music tones from Family Guy, likely because the music is performed by Walter Murphy (who also performed the show's music).
- The opening sequence and the ending credits both have a similar letter font from Family Guy.
Footages
- A brief footage of SpongeBob SquarePants from an episode from the show is shown towards the beginning of the film.
- A footage of Flash Gordon is shown in some scenes.
- Interestingly, Sam J. Jones made two cameo appearances in the film as himself during Ted's party and as the wedding priest at John and Lori's wedding.
- A parody footage of Airplane! is seen when John and Lori are talking about how they first met. The only difference is the characters are different.
