Submitted by BrianTT on June 28, 2012 - 4:38pm.![]() Rating: 3.5/5.0 |
CHICAGO – “Ted” is one of the most inventive and surprising films of the year. It has a sense of humor that will be very familiar to fans of writer/director Seth MacFarlane’s “Family Guy” but is refreshingly unique in a film genre that is too often stale.
