Newlywed couple Ted and Tami-Lynn want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he's a person in a court of law (www.imdb.com).
Director: Seth MacFarlane (Ted, A Million Ways to Die in the West)
Cast: Mark Wahlberg, Seth Macfarlane, Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Giovanni Ribisi, Morgan Freeman
Seth Macfarlane yet again proves that his brand of humour isn't everyone's cup of tea. In fact it's not for many with his latest feature length film. Ted was all about the thunder buddies and the ups and downs of their relationship. The second takes a completely different approach. Instead of mocking political subjects, which Ted 2 focuses on, Macfarlane fills up it's long running-time by abusing celebrities, with distasteful dick jokes and awkward racism. This time round the puns invoke little or no reaction. Mila Kunis is sorely missed, replaced by a reputable but unconvincing Amanda Seyfried as a lawyer. John Bennett (Walhberg) and Ted's (Macfarlane) relationship never flourishes past the first film. Big shock, when it's their banter and wild antics that made the Ted so outrageously entertaining.
2/5
