The Plot of Ted 2

Three years after the events of the first film, Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) has married his girlfriend Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth), while his best friend John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg) has been divorced from Lori Collins (Mila Kunis) for six months. John and Tami-Lynn decide to have a child, but discover that Tami-Lynn's history of drug use has rendered her infertile, and they decide to adopt. However, the background checks put Ted's legal status as a person into question, leading to his credit cards and bank accounts being terminated, and his job being terminated due to him being declared property instead of a person.

John suggests that they take the state to court, and they ask the best lawyer they can find, who assigns the case pro bono to his niece Samantha "Sam" Jackson (Amanda Seyfried), a novice lawyer. Despite her lack of experience and knowledge of pop culture, Sam agrees to take the case, and they prepare to present the case. Meanwhile, Donny (Giovanni Ribisi), Ted's life-long stalker, convinces the CEO of toy company Hasbro to hire an expert attorney to ensure that Ted maintains his status as property, leaving him open to seizure by the firm to create more living teddy bears.

Despite Sam's best efforts, the court rules against Ted, and the trio contact Patrick Meighan (Morgan Freeman), a highly respected civil rights attorney, to help overturn the court's decision. Driving to Manhattan to meet Meighan, the trio meet with him, who is sympathetic to Ted's plight but initially refuses the case. However, inspired by John's selflessness and Ted's emotions over John, who managed to avoid death, Meighan decides to take the case and successfully gets the ruling overturned by demonstrating that Ted is self-aware, that he feels complex emotions, and is capable of empathy.

The Making of Ted 2

Ted 2 was directed by Seth MacFarlane, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. The film is a sequel to the 2012 film Ted and features the return of Mark Wahlberg as the voice of Ted's best friend John Bennett, as well as the voice of Ted himself by MacFarlane.

One interesting aspect of the making of Ted 2 was the change in storyline during the development process. Initially, the film was going to be about John and Ted's attempt to smuggle pot across the country. However, due to concerns that the concept was too similar to the recently released film We're the Millers, the concept was scrapped and the storyline was overhauled to one inspired by John Jakes' North and South series as well as the life of Dred Scott.

The film also received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the humor and performances while others criticized the plot and lack of originality. Despite this, Ted 2 was a box office success, grossing $215.9 million on a $68 million budget.

In addition to the main cast, the film also features appearances by a number of well-known actors, including Morgan Freeman, Liam Neeson, and Sam J. Jones, who played the title character in the 1980 film Flash Gordon and appears as himself in Ted 2.

Cast

Here are some of the main actors in Ted 2 and their roles:

Mark Wahlberg as John Bennett - John is Ted's best friend and helps him fight for his civil rights. Wahlberg is also known for his roles in The Fighter, The Departed, and Boogie Nights.

Ted 2: A Disappointing Sequel

Ted 2, the sequel to the cult favorite Ted, is a mixed bag. While the film has its share of laughs and witty humor, it ultimately falls short of its predecessor. The plot feels disjointed and lacks the focus of the original, with subplots that feel tacked on and unnecessary. The film also relies too heavily on crude humor and shock value, rather than the clever writing and pop culture references that made the first film so memorable.

While Ted 2 received mixed reviews from critics, it still managed to be a box office success. However, the film failed to capture the same magic as the original, and it's clear that the filmmakers were struggling to come up with a compelling storyline. The performances from the cast are solid, but they are let down by the weak script and lack of direction.

If you're a fan of the original Ted, you may find some enjoyment in this sequel. However, if you're looking for a film that lives up to the hype and delivers on the promise of the first movie, you may be disappointed. Overall, Ted 2 is a lackluster sequel that fails to capture the charm and humor of its predecessor.
