Ted is a 2012 comedy film directed by Seth MacFarlane, who also provides the voice for the titular character. When John Bennett, played by Mark Wahlberg, was a child, he made a Christmas wish that his teddy bear, Ted, would come to life. Miraculously, the wish came true, and the two grow up together. The film delves into the challenges they face when John's girlfriend, Lori (played by Mila Kunis), wants more from their relationship. Ted is rated R for its crude and sexual content, pervasive language, and some drug use.
