Ted 2

Ted 2 is a 2015 comedy film directed by Seth MacFarlane. It was released on June 26, 2015.

Plot
Life has changed drastically for thunder buddies John (Mark Wahlberg), now a bachelor, and best pal Ted (Seth MacFarlane), married to the woman (Jessica Barth) of his dreams. Problems arise when the couple decides to adopt a child, but the law declares Ted to be property and not a person. Angry and dejected, the lovably foulmouthed teddy bear must now seek legal help from a young lawyer (Amanda Seyfried) and a legendary, civil-rights attorney (Morgan Freeman) to get the justice he deserves.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) A majority of the jokes rely on pop culture references and vulgar humor (including a lot of profanity and swearing just for the sake of it).
 * 2) *Pop culture references are fun to point at, but you don't need to make a heck load of them unless if done right. They need a context in order to work otherwise it's just a character mentioning something popular. Reference humor works when there's a joke in the reference, not when the joke is the reference.
 * 3) John and Lori are divorced, thus making the happy ending of the first film pointless (the latter doesn't even appear, although it is understandable why due to Mila Kunis being pregnant during production and being unavailable to return).
 * 4) The running gag of every Google search leading to “black cocks” isn't really that funny.
 * 5) Product placements everywhere. In fact, Comic-Con and Hasbro are basically plot points.
 * 6) Certain jokes are rehashed from the first film.
 * 7) Mostly weak acting, even from great actors like Mark Wahlberg (though he did okay for the most part) and Amanda Seyfried.
 * 8) Ted can come off as a bit unlikable. He keeps saying “fuck you!” at people just because they think he’s property.
 * 9) The film is a bit mean-spirited. The scene at the beginning where Tami-Lynn and Ted argue feels like it goes on for absolute ages, and it's not even meant to be funny.
 * 10) Some scenes like Liam Neeson's character buying a box of Trix (which for some reason goes on for like a minute) only serve as filler so the film can reach its justified run time.
 * 11) On the topic of Liam Neeson, he and other celebrities make random cameos that serve no purpose and often come out of nowhere.
 * 12) Morgan Freeman's character, despite getting top billing, only gets two scenes, making his appearance feel more like one of the aforementioned cameos.
 * 13) The film slightly contradicts the first. Here, it's said that Tami-Lynn is unable to have babies, but in the first, she tells Lori that she did indeed give birth once. Although she probably said that by accident cause she was very mad at Lori for allegedly calling her a whore.
 * 14) Donny doesn't feel like the threat he was in the first film, and his son, Robert, doesn't appear and isn't even mentioned without explanation. Instead, he serves more as a failed comic relief character. Bringing him back in the first place also makes his defeat in the first film pointless.
 * 15) John's "death" scene at the end could've been an emotional moment, but it gets ruined by it all being an off-color joke.

Good Qualities

 * 1) The film is still very funny, with scenes like the improved scene, Ted and Johnny fighting over the last beer, and the contents of Johnny's laptop.
 * 2) The premise of a living, breathing teddy bear trying to prove its sentience is rather unique.
 * 3) The film is admittedly off to a great start with a terrifically choreographed and orchestrated dance sequence.
 * 4) The first film was much better in terms of comedy, but the rest of the film has the upper hand on the messages.
 * 5) Seth MacFarlane and Mark Wahlberg (despite the fact that his acting can sometimes be weak in some scenes) still give off good performances and have a fun dynamic.
 * 6) The film can have its sweet moments.
 * 7) The Comic-Con fight scene was decent and funny, despite the generic pop culture references.
 * 8) Sam J. Jones returns and is still absolutely hilarious.
 * 9) The CGI on Ted is still top-notch.
 * 10) It is still faithful to the first film, even though this sequel is average.
 * 11) The unrated cut is much better than the rated cut, it even reinserted the "Thunder Buddies" song.
