Surprised there's no thread for this already!

Just saw it tonight and it was really good. Definitely MacFarlane humour but far enough away from Family Guy to be different (helped by the lack of cutaways!).

Some really funny and quotable bits and cool to get some cameos of FG's voice actors in there too.

8/10. Definitely worth seeing.

Seen it a few weeks back and it had me laughing a great deal.

One of the funniest films I've seen

whitecrook · 31 Jul 2012 at 23:27

Was alright, not as funny as it should have been, the trailer has most of the gags.

I hate it when they do that.

Really want to see this, can't see anyone else wanting to see it at cinema, so will have to Witt 6months

Think it's great Macfarlane has made a film.

Haven't seen it yet though, nobody wants to goooooo!

It was good, and worth a watch but 80% of the "best bits" were in the trailer

cu3ed · 1 Aug 2012 at 02:20

Don't think the best bits where even close in the trailers.
The comebacks Ted makes to the manager when applying for the job was a highlight for me.
And loved Stewart going off on one about the power of an Apache Gunship.

Might see this on the weekend, seems really funny from the trailer.

Liquidfox · 1 Aug 2012 at 08:50

Loved it, definitely recommend going to see it

Marky · 1 Aug 2012 at 08:53

Hopefully going to see it in the next few days

I went to see this on Monday evening (special Cineworld Unlimited early viewing).
A really funny film. Enjoyed it all the way through and there were some real lol moments.
Patrick Stewart's role as the narratoris absolutely brilliant - just love his voice for that kind of thing.

Seriously?
The trailer was edited in such a way that hardly any of the lines actually followed one another.
And seriously - the trailer had most of the gags? You are kidding right? MOST of the gags?
I'd say...what.....10-15% maybe?

Hilarious film from start to finish !!

Russinating · 1 Aug 2012 at 12:25

I disagree that the best bits were in the trailer actually. They even cut some of the bits in the trailer from the main film.

Ryan Reynolds, the Apache, Ted with his boss etc

As someone who hates Family Guy, will I enjoy this?

Most of the best gags, and they weren't even that good to start with.

It very much follows a family guy tempate I thought, at times it seems like a live action family guy, someone above mentioned no cutaways -- but there even is cutaways (like when they are remembering him dancing in the club etc)
