Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Not so politically correct
In a time when anyting can't be said for fear of offending someone, this is another great offering from Seth McFarlane (unrated). it continues the story of a boy and his teddy bear... great movie, great price at best buy for the Bluray/Digital combo... just don't google it!!
John (Mark Wahlberg) and the foul-mouthed teddy bear (voiced by Seth MacFarlane, who also directs) return for a sequel. It’s been about three years since the successful original was released, and there are plenty of jokes and references throughout “Ted 2,” but the new film seems in desperate need of a story that these characters deserve.
As “Ted 2” opens, MacFarlane’s teddy bear marries Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth). And he wants to have a baby! In spite of the interesting opening, however, the filmmakers fail to develop the story that gets weaker as the film goes on, with a drawn-out story about Ted’s legal battle. Giovanni Ribisi reprises the role of a creepy kidnapper, but his character is simply unnecessary.
“Ted 2” MacFarlane’s jokes are as crude and politically incorrect as in the original, but not as funny as before, partly because what made the first “Ted” unique is missing. It is not just about the novelty of talking teddy bear, but the friendship between him and Wahlberg’s character.
As Mila Kunis refused to return, Amanda Seyfried appears as a new girlfriend for Mark Wahlberg’s character John. Seyfried is not bad. The problem is, like big names such as Morgan Freeman and Liam Neeson who also appear here, her screen time is too brief.
After all, though pretty entraining, “Ted 2” fails to provide a drama that the main characters “thunder buddies” really need.
