Two stars have been born - Ted and writer/director Seth MacFarlane.
We know who MacFarlane is - think of the madness behind Family Guy and The Cleveland Show.
In Ted, he steps out with his first non-animated effort and it is a beauty.
But who is Ted? If you think he is a cuddly, childhood teddy bear, you'd be partly right.
If you added a sexually charged, foul-mouthed and wild best mate then you'd be closer to the truth.
This movie is one of the funniest you are going to find this year, if sexual content and some foul language don't upset you.
MacFarlane brings a refreshing brand of humour to this story and the plentiful laughs sneak up on you when you least expect them.
The story starts with a young and lonely John Bennett wishing his teddy could come alive and be his best friend forever.
When he wakes to find that Ted is alive, his life will never be the same again.
Fast-forward a few years and John (Mark Wahlberg) and Ted are inseparable even though John now has a lovely girlfriend, Lori (Mila Kunis).
While Lori wants John to grow up and settle down, Ted is still all about partying and continues to be a bad influence on his mate.
If John doesn't want to lose the love of his life, he must put some space between himself and Ted. Ted has to go it alone, find a job and move into some new lodgings. This is some of the funniest material as Ted lives life to the full. It is not often you see a teddy bear chatting up beautiful girls and getting his way with them.
Ted is just one of John's problems - Lori's rich boss Rex (Joel McHale) is determined to win her over, too. Then a crazed father kidnaps him so he can be the best friend of his son.
John must work out exactly what Ted means to him if he wants to keep both Lori and Ted in his life.
