Ted is an upcoming American comedy flick which is directed, produced and written by Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy. The movie has a production budget of $65 million and is set to release on 13th July this year. It stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis,
Joel McHale and Seth Macfarlane (who gave the voice of Ted). It is edited by Jeff Freeman and distributed by Universal Pictures and Media Rights Capital.
The movie follows John Bennett (starred by Whalberg) and his teddy bear that came to life as a result of a childhood wish. Bennet is a grown-up now and he must deal with Ted who has never left his sight ever since he came to life.
Macfarlane wrote the screenplay alongside his Family Guy colleagues Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. The opening crawl for the Family Guy episode, It’s a Trap, alludes to Ted in a sentence, "But Fox suddenly had dollar signs in their eyes, and they said,
‘Seth, if you don’t do Jedi, we’re not gonna let you leave to go direct your movie.” He announced the movie in the 10th February, 2011 episode of Conan.
Joshua Wilburn, a super Reviewer at the site Rotten Tomatoes, was quoted, “There are big expectations for this film with alot of Family Guy haters already crusifying it. But with the two trailers out so far I’m sure this to be a great film. I dont know what
it is with macFarlane and talking foul mouthed animals or stuffed animals but it’s obvious there’s a cult following of his work. I’m a fan of family guy but I hope this isnt like the Simpsons Movie where I pay to just see an extended tv episode. But again,
I have high hopes for this film and hope Marky Mark & Meg’s talents come out in it.”
The MPAA gave the film an R rating for crude sexual content, Pervasive language and some drug abuse. However, it will be a must watch movie for everyone.
