Ted has to be the surprise of summer. I guessed it would be a hit, but not to this degree. Magic Mike is a close second for the surprise of summer. The producers had to be delighted when they saw the receipts for The Vow and 21 Jumpstreet.

Tyler Perry cranked another from his Madea cash-cow and it paid off.

People Like Us is another misstep in Chris Pine's non-Star Trek career.
