     There isn't much to say about Ted other than my opinion upon seeing the trailer held upon seeing the film--a possibly good concept executed poorly.  I'll admit that my opinion may differ from the mass public in general as the audience I saw it with was pretty much continuously laughing as I sat straight faced but I'll still hold with a verdict of lackluster.

     The only thing really amusing about it was its reference and incorporation of an 80s movie.  I, myself, don't remember seeing that particular film but am very familiar with the theme song and give kudos for the nostalgia factor.  For those that aren't children of the 80s, they'll likely find it amusing too, regardless.

     Also, Patrick Stewart as the narrator of the tale was a nice touch.
