Ted becomes a very immature, inappropriate, and crude. Johns girlfriend Lori, thinks Johns lack of professional drive is all because of Ted. Will John have to choose between his best friend Ted, or his girl friend Lori? 

Review: I found the movie Ted to be very hilarious but also very inappropriate. This movie is very unrealistic and things that happen in this movie would clearly never happen in real life. I did watching the teddy bear becoming real and what his life was like. The movie did see to have an endless middle. The ending was disappointing.

Rate: I would give the movie Ted a 6 out of 10 stars!

Review: This movie is definitely a classic. Since it is a very old movie the quality isn't the best. It's a very imaginative family film. Some parts may be a little creepy for younger kids. I enjoy the journey Charlie has to go through. I like how the movie shows that hard times don't last forever.
