Since I saw A.I.in 2001 I thought that is that bear could swear it would make a great movie. Well, in 2012 Seth MacFarlane had the same idea and released a movie in which a teddy bear was one of the most unbelievable thinks. On the downside, this movie is an ode to mediocrity. It does send the message that it doesn't matter if you make an effort with your life things have a way to balance.
