Ted

Ted (voiced by MacFarlane) is the come to life childhood friend and teddy bear of John (Wahlberg) and their close brotherly relationship becomes very challenging for him and girlfriend Lori (Mila Kunis). Seth MacFarlane is a damn genius as the writer, director, producer, and star of Ted.  I haven't laughed out loud so hard in a long time since probably Tropic Thunder, really.  This is not a movie for the little kids, but nearly everyone else should find themselves in stitches.  One of the brilliant things about this movie is that the adult content and outrageousness still give way to same heartfelt sentimentality one would expect in say a children's coming of age story.  The idea of a Boston accented, cursing, rascal of a teddy bear is funny by itself, but to put it not just to animation where it would be expected, but to a live action film is incredible.  Incredible because you forget about the whole animated, cgi, blue/green screen computer generated effect of it all.  You instantly buy it because the effects and  interactions are that great.  Beyond that, there is so much hilariousness throughout from Patrick Stewart's warped narration to the many cameos.  Those of us who are of generation X will definitely appreciate the many references throughout the film.  I thoroughly enjoyed Ted, the unrated version, the special features, and all.  MacFarlane graduates to film with a bang.
