Review of Ted 2 (2015) by Thegodfatherson — 27 Jun 2015

Seth MacFarlane movies. Love them or hate them. Ted 2 sort of comes in the middle. Yes, it was packed with laughs and it was certainly a good time, but when you look at it from a MOVIE standpoint, MacFarlane's nuts comedy turns sour.

Say what you want about A Million Ways To Die In The West, but I thought that it was innovative and funny, but not a good movie. Same happens with Ted 2, the highly awaited sequel to the monstrous 2012 blockbuster comedy.

Also, Seth MacFarlane's sweet tooth for misplaced musical numbers makes its way to the final finished movie. I really think that MacFarlane's team could have spent more time with Ted 2, to make it even better than its predecessor.

Well, too bad. Copied spoofs for Family Guy, tiring cameos and horrible pacing are just some of the problems with this movie. Ted 2 is more of the same, which is good for some movies, but I think that we wanted something fresh and new rather than a flimsy cast with a few adjustments and a wafer thin script.

But, the chemistry between Johnny and Ted is electrifying. And, Amanda Seyfried is decent too. But, Marky Mark is TOTTALY lifeless. Overall, Ted 2 is popcorn entertainment for the people who just want a good laugh, other than that it is a painfully mediocre sequel to a movie that mesmerized me.
