The Best Movies of 2012

13. Ted

Seth MacFarlane's feature film debut (directed, produced, written by and voice-starring him) is so ridiculous on paper — it's about the bromance between a manchild (Mark Wahlberg) and his talking teddy bear (MacFarlane) — that only the ingeniously perverse Family Guy creator could make it work. Making the film riotously funny, weird and crude would be entertaining enough, but MacFarlane manages to, uh, stuff the raunch-fest with enough heart to have us feeling a little warm and fuzzy.
