The Plot of Ted 2

Ted 2 revolves around the story of Ted, the talking teddy bear, who marries his girlfriend Tami-Lynn. Meanwhile, Ted's best friend John Bennett has been divorced from Lori Collins for six months and they decide to have a child. Since Ted cannot father a child, John agrees to help find a sperm donor. They try to break into Tom Brady's house but are unsuccessful. Ultimately, John offers to donate his sperm.

However, Tami-Lynn's history of drug use has rendered her infertile, so they decide to adopt. But when the state authorities of Massachusetts declare Ted property rather than a person, he is fired from his job and his marriage to Tami-Lynn is annulled. John suggests that they take the state to court. They ask the best lawyer they can find, who assigns the case pro bono to his niece Samantha "Sam" Jackson, a novice lawyer. They are initially reluctant due to her lack of pop culture knowledge, but bond over their love of marijuana as they prepare to present the case.

The trio contacts Patrick Meighan, a civil rights attorney, to help overturn the court's decision. Despite Sam's best efforts, the court rules against Ted. Disheartened and desperate, they turn to Meighan for help. Meighan decides to take the case, inspired by John's selflessness and Ted's emotions over John, who managed to avoid death. Meighan successfully gets the ruling overturned by demonstrating that Ted is self-aware, that he feels complex emotions, and is capable of empathy. Along the way, there are plenty of laughs, hijinks, and pop culture references that make Ted 2 an entertaining and hilarious movie.

The Making of Ted 2

Ted 2 was directed by Seth MacFarlane, who also co-wrote the script with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. The movie stars Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett, the best friend of Ted (voiced by MacFarlane), and Amanda Seyfried as Samantha "Sam" Jackson, the inexperienced lawyer who takes on Ted's case. The film features a talented cast that includes Giovanni Ribisi, Jessica Barth, John Slattery, and Morgan Freeman.

Principal photography for Ted 2 began in July 2014 in Massachusetts and ended in November of that year. While the original storyline for the movie involved John and Ted smuggling pot across the country, it was ultimately scrapped due to concerns that it was too similar to the recently released movie We're the Millers. Instead, the storyline was overhauled to focus on Ted's fight for his civil rights.

Ted 2 received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the film's humor and performances while others criticized its lack of originality compared to the first movie. Despite this, the movie was a commercial success, grossing over $215 million worldwide on a budget of $68 million. Fans of the first movie will find plenty to enjoy in Ted 2, from its hilarious pop culture references to its heartwarming moments of friendship and loyalty.

Mark Wahlberg stars as John Bennett, Ted's best friend who helps him fight for his civil rights. Wahlberg's other notable roles include Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights, Micky Ward in The Fighter, and Marcus Luttrell in Lone Survivor.

Ted 2: Is it Worth Your Time?

If you're a fan of the first Ted movie and enjoy raunchy, irreverent humor, then Ted 2 might be worth a watch. However, if you're looking for a movie that breaks new ground or brings something fresh to the table, you might want to pass on this one. While the film has its funny moments and entertaining performances from the cast, it ultimately fails to live up to the original movie's charm and wit.

Despite mixed reviews from critics and audiences, Ted 2 still managed to become a box office success. However, the film's lack of originality and reliance on crude humor left some viewers disappointed. While the movie has its share of laughs, it fails to match the cleverness and heart of the first film.
