Bear down

Who doesn’t want to rip shots with Flash Gordon and a perverted talking teddy bear?

This Boston-based ball of fun comes with all the right clichés and plenty of things unexpected from the land of misfit toys.

Comedic mastermind Seth MacFarlane brings his first silver-screen production to life. “Ted” was written, produced and directed by the “Family Guy” creator.

“Ted” stars Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis as a fragile couple constantly battling the hindrances of Ted’s irresponsible lifestyle.

Ted, voiced by MacFarlane, was once the biggest thing since sliced bread, but the fame of the magical bear has faded. The living teddy bear turns to a life of hookers, weed and booze, and lifelong pal John Bennett (Wahlberg) can’t say no to temptation.

The movie benefits from MacFarlane’s uncanny ability to manipulate pop culture and sustain supremely comical awkwardness. Sprinkle in some classic fart jokes, fat kids and nudity — and what do you have? “Ted,” a film about an overly aggressive, drug abusing Care Bear with an insatiable appetite for causing as many problematic situations as possible.
