Review of Ted 2 (2015) by Joel M — 23 Aug 2015
I absolutely had a plethora of laugh-out-loud laughs in the first 20 minutes of "Ted 2", the sequel to the very good predecessor "Ted" film. But I could not "bear" the rest of the movie with its ludicrous plot of Ted's struggle to be claimed as a person. What!!! The raunchy Ted bear is now married to his cerebrally-challenged but "easy on the eyes" supermarket colleague Tammi-Lynn. Ted is still best buddies with Mark Wahlberg's John; no not Mark Wahlberg's bathroom, but the John character he plays who is Ted's best pal and thunder buddy. John is now divorced and in a depressed state. When Ted finds out he is not being designated as a person, he gets John to help his cause for "I'm a person" justice alongside novice stoner female lawyer Samantha (which by the way, was portrayed atrociously by Amanda Seyfried). Writer-Director Seth MacFarlane, who also voices Ted, did include a few classic Ted hilarious raunchy scenes. But MacFarlane went way off the the far lane, when he tried to drive "Ted 2" into a "plight for justice" lesson- learning movie. It simply did not work, and I hate to bear this one on you also: but the bear Ted has overextended his welcome into my cinematic world; the novelty has worn off. Call me wicked, but "Ted 2" is the most disappointing (but not worst) movie I have seen so far in 2015. It just was not beary good!
** Needs Improvement.
