Trivia
Ted mentions 9/11. Mark Wahlberg and Seth MacFarlane narrowly missed being on American Airlines Flight 11, one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Wahlberg was booked on the flight, but decided to drive to New York City and fly to California later. MacFarlane arrived at the gate ten minutes late and was not allowed to board. He was sitting in the airport when he saw that his plane had hit the World Trade Center's North Tower.

Goofs
When John answer's Ted's call while riding in the car with Lori, John holds his iPhone upside-down (as evidenced by the lock button and headphone jack) for nearly the entire conversation.

Quotes
Narrator: No matter how big a splash you make in this world whether you're Corey Feldman, Frankie Muniz, Justin Bieber or a talking teddy bear, eventually, nobody gives a shit.

Crazy credits
At the start of the movie, the Universal 'planet earth' signature sequence appears, and the narration begins. As the narration continues, the camera zooms in to the logo, "Google Earth Style" eventually centering on the action in the young John Bennet's home town.

Alternate versions
When the film proved to be a huge success in Germany, it was re-released in several cities with two different dubbings. One features Ted speaking with a Bavarian accent, the other has him speaking in Berlinerisch.

Enjoyable movie

Enjoyable comedy coming-of-age story with a novel character, a boozy talking teddy bear. Mark Wahlberg is an underrated comedian. He does commit. Mila Kunis is average actress but plays believable role.

I enjoy the premise and the jokes and the whole idea of growing up and losing some parts while not giving up others, and making the proper choices. The ending was a bit stale but mixed with some pathos. I ended up feeling for that teddy too.

I like the conversation about coming of age the story has, that the teddy bear character isn't just a novelty but a solid part of the plot. Despite some less inspiring parts, high points for creativity and strong primary and secondary characters peppered throughout.
