Ted

IMDB rating 7

Genre: Comedy

Country: USA; Running time: 1 hour 46 minutes; Year: 2012

Produced by Seth MacFarlane

Ted is an American comedy directed by Seth MacFarlane and starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, in which a teddy bear comes to life after his owner makes a wish on Christmas Eve when he was eight years old.

Despite being rated R for "strong" language and sexual content, the comedy managed to become one of the highest-grossing films in history. This happened thanks to its lighthearted humour combined with easily recognisable characters facing adult relationship problems or career difficulties. At the same time, an imaginary talking teddy bear lives with them, leading to appealing situations throughout the film.

21 Jump Street

IMDB rating 7.2

Genre: Comedy

Country: USA; Running time: 1 hour 49 minutes; Year of release: 2012

This film received positive reviews from critics because it cleverly combines action scenes and humorous dialogue, making it one of the highest grossing successes at the time. It also broke away from the usual clichéd cop films, turning into something fresh and original, even though it used the same formula as every other similar film.
