I have to admit, I wasn’t instantly the biggest fan of Ted upon its release. Despite being a huge Family Guy fan, it ironically took some time for me to warm up to being a fan of a flick that deals with a talking teddy bear living in our real world. Thanks in part to the chemistry between Mark Wahlberg, who’s hysterical in this role, and Seth MacFarlane, who infuses life into the fuzzy Ted, warming up was a relatively quick process. For when Ted fell below $8 on Blu-ray a couple Black Fridays ago, I thus became a fan due to my economical choice to invest in the feature and give it a second chance at redemption. Therefore, you don’t need to sign me up to go see Ted 2, I’m already there and onboard. See how wishy washy I can be? It’s terrible.
