Will they go to Mars? Maybe. Will there be quips? Oh most definitely. Will a certain woman appear? Well you'll just have to go and see.

 


 

 

(warning this trailer does contain swearing)

However if your'e a fan of all things Family Guy, then you need to see Ted. From the creator Seth McFarlane, comes his first ever feature film, he writes, directs and stars (well his voice does anyway!)

John Bennet wishes his teddy bear would come to life, his wish comes true. Though what he didn't factor was that Ted stuck around. 27 years later Ted is still around though not quite as cuddly, cute or adorable. 

A comedy that steers close to the mark in a way that only MacFarlane can.
