The Plot of Ted 2

Ted 2 follows the story of Ted, a talking teddy bear, as he fights for his civil rights in order to be legally recognized as a person, rather than property. Three years after the events of the first film, Ted marries his girlfriend, Tami-Lynn, while his best friend, John Bennett, divorces his wife Lori. After a heated argument, John and Tami-Lynn decide to have a child, but their attempts at finding a sperm donor prove unsuccessful.

When they decide to adopt instead, their background checks lead to Ted's legal status being called into question. The state authorities of Massachusetts declare Ted property rather than a person, leading to his job loss, financial ruin, and annulment of his marriage. John suggests that they take the state to court, and they team up with a novice lawyer named Samantha "Sam" Jackson to present their case.

Despite their best efforts, the court rules against Ted, leaving the trio heartbroken and desperate. They seek the help of a highly respected civil rights attorney to overturn the decision, but he initially refuses the case. As John falls into a coma, Ted and Sam continue to fight for Ted's rights, leading to unexpected twists and turns along the way.

Behind the Scenes of Ted 2

Ted 2 was directed by Seth MacFarlane, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. As with the first film, MacFarlane also provided the voice for Ted, while Mark Wahlberg reprised his role as John Bennett. The film also stars Amanda Seyfried, Giovanni Ribisi, Jessica Barth, John Slattery, and Morgan Freeman.

Principal photography for Ted 2 began in Massachusetts in July 2014 and lasted until November of that year. The film's production faced a few challenges, such as changing the storyline midway through the process, and having to recast Mila Kunis' character due to the change. She was eventually replaced by Amanda Seyfried, who played the role of Samantha "Sam" Jackson.

Ted 2 received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the film's humor and performances, but criticized the plot and pacing. Despite the mixed reviews, the film went on to become a box office success, grossing over $215 million worldwide on a $68 million budget. Fans of the first film enjoyed the continuation of Ted and John's adventures, while newcomers to the franchise were introduced to the lovable, foul-mouthed teddy bear for the first time.

Ted 2: Not Quite as Funny the Second Time Around

While the first Ted film was a fresh and hilarious concept, Ted 2 fails to capture the same magic and instead feels like a rehash of the original with a slightly tweaked plotline. The jokes are still there, but they lack the same impact and originality as the first film, leaving the audience feeling disappointed.

Despite the mixed critical reception, Ted 2 did prove to be a box office success, perhaps due to the popularity of the first film and the continuation of the lovable characters of Ted and John. However, as a standalone film, it falls short and fails to live up to the expectations set by its predecessor.

If you're a fan of the first Ted film, it's still worth a watch for the sake of continuity and closure. However, for those who are expecting something fresh and new, Ted 2 may leave you feeling underwhelmed.

If you're interested in watching Ted 2, or any other movies that may be restricted in your country, consider signing up for ExpressVPN.
