Ted 2 (2015)

Ted 2 is a comedy about a talking bear (Voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and his best friend John (Mark Wahlberg).

Ted 2 tells the story of Teds attempt to legally be deemed as human after the US government ruins his life. He is aided by his thunder buddy John and Sam L. Jackson, a young lawyer portrayed by Amanda Seyfried.

The main story was alright, but in a comedy the journey matters more than the story. The journey easily delivered the more enjoyable part, and it was very enjoyable.

The cinematography is alright, but pretty standard fair, sprinkled with some great quick cuts for that extra laugh. There were, however, musical numbers that overstayed their welcome.

Seth MacFarlane uses this film to demonstrate his voice acting ability, being able to make the character of Ted seem as if he was alive. Mark Wahlberg also does a great job of returning to the role of  John. Amanda Seyfried seems to come into her own in this role and was a pleasure to watch.

The real star power however, comes in the celebrity cameos. Each actor fully takes on their character in the cameo and it enhances what is already a very funny film.

This movie had me laughing out loud in the cinema, probably annoying the person sitting next to me. To me, this is a sign of a very funny movie.

Ted 2 demonstrates how lude, crude and rude comedy can still make a hilarious movie when effort is put into it.

Number of times I looked at my watch: Zero

Recommendation: See this film for a good laugh.

I hope you enjoyed this review, please let me know what other movies you would like me to review.

Have a great day. Looking forward to your feedback.
