Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Cyrus Ramsey First of all, if you're reading this, I assume you saw and enjoyed the first Ted movie. The good news is that Ted 2 has a lot - and I mean a lot - of the off-color humor that characterized Ted 1. Ted and Johnny smoke weed a lot, watch TV a lot and say "fuck" a lot. If you thought Ted 1 was funny, chances are you'll find this movie funny as well.Now for the bad news: while it has lots of good moments, this movie does suffer from a mild case of "sequel-itis". It doesn't fit together as well as the first movie did, there are quite a few scenes that don't move the plot along at all and would work just as well as standalone comedy skits. The movie also falls short of Ted 1 in a few other ways. So let's figure out exactly what's wrong with this movie:1. Mila Kunis isn't in it. Now, technically this flaw applies to all movies that don't have Mila Kunis in them, but in this case, it makes a noticeable difference. Mila's character was often the voice of reason in the first film, and while Amanda Seyfried's character in Ted 2 is hugely entertaining, she is as goofy, if not goofier, than Ted and Johnny. 2. In the first film, Ted and Johnny were obnoxious and vulgar, but essentially good-hearted. In Ted 2, our heroes and their friends seem to have lost their kind touch, and descended into simply being unhindered assholes. They harass strangers for fun, cause at least two vehicle accidents and make one or two mildly racist, sexist and homophobic jokes - hardly surprising, considering Mark Wahlberg's past, but still a letdown. 3. For some reason, this movie decided to try and be a legal drama as well as a screwball comedy. While it manages not to get too boring, there are still one or two courtroom scenes that feel out of place in this movie, to the point where it's a relief when the protagonists inevitably start shouting obscenities. 4. There quite a few running gags that feel very forced and unnatural. The celebrity cameos are also fun at first, but get a bit old after a while. 5. The ending seems a bit anticlimactic, especially after the brilliant ending of the first film. It mostly fits the characters, but it seems tacked on and pointless, and missed the obvious opportunity to be much cleverer than it was. 6. They don't sing the Thunder Buddy song.Now, just for the sake of fairness, let me point out some of the utterly brilliant things in this movie that make me love it in spite of its flaws: 1. There are a couple of scenes that parody other films in utterly genius ways. I won't name any names, but if you're at all familiar with the biggest films of the '80s and '90s, you should have no trouble getting the references. 2. Ted really comes into his own as a character in this movie. The first film, despite its name, was really about Johnny, but in this one, Ted really is the one we're supposed to identify with, and Johnny feels almost like Ted's sidekick more than the other way around. 3. Amanda Seyfried is fantastic in this movie, and manages to fit in perfectly with Ted and Johnny's weird rapport. She has a few specific moments that really improve the film overall, and while I won't spoil anything, I will say that this movie would have mostly sucked without her. 4. They don't sing the Octopussy song.In conclusion, if you enjoyed the first Ted, I think you'll enjoy this one. It doesn't really work as a standalone film, but few sequels do. As long as you don't expect it to be better than the first film, you'll be pleasantly surprised.

jcjs333 This could not be worse. Firstly, the 'F' word is used a zillion times in the first 5 minutes. Dirty or forceful vulgarity is so appropriate, magnificent, poignant when used sparingly and with punch at the right moment. Otherwise, i think brainless writers and compliant actors. It's not as disgusting and low life, uneducated trash talk which isn't the least bit humorous of interesting. The whole deal looked like the actors were asleep the entire show. I have no idea how they could stand doing it. I paid online and so wish i hadn't because i couldn't force myself to watch it. Making things worse was i had watched 'What We Do In The Shadows' and 'Hunt For The Wilderpeople' the night before. Taiki Waititi' stuff out of New Zealand is gut bustingly the best i've seen in decades, maybe ever. Percentage-wise, American movies, especially comedy (or even drama)are so much worse than what's coming out of New Zealand and the Scandinavian ('River', 'Lillyhammer'). In this 'Ted 2', dirty language, smut, porn references, repeatedly to 'Bl--k C---'. I forced myself to watch around 15 minutes and had to turn it off. I thought, 'Mark Wahlberg', 'The Fighter' but who is this Mark Wahlberg? On reflection, i realize 'Wahlberg' does mostly stuff that's below par and produces the same. In 'The Fighter' his co-star Christian Bale does 'wow' stuff. There aren't words strong enough to say how bad this flick is. And, watching Taiki Waititi's stuff the night before made 'Ted 2' all the much worse. No, American comedy comes close to what's coming out elsewhere. I don't know if it's the Facebook generation which has made Americans unable to communicate seeping into everything, or what, but yuk. Like 'La La Land' which i thought was bad compared to Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor and Sid Charise. And, Red Buttons, Shecky Green, Red Skelton, Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, Ma and Pa Kettle, Abbot and Costello, Dick Van Dyke, Steve Allen, Sid Ceasar, Jack Benny, George Burns and Gracey Allen, Jonathan Winters (Robin Williams was the only modern day comic to grave or era), Art Carney, Jackie Gleason, Richard Pryor, Red Fox, Moms Mabley, Eddie Murphy, Bill Cosbie, Flip Wilson. come to think of it we do have many black comedians today and some white dudes. Not a good show.

zkonedog The original "Ted" was one of the most unique movies I had ever seen...and also one of the best movies I saw in 2012. I was a fan of the Family Guy-style humor, as well as the fact that a movie about a living stuffed bear could make me both laugh and feel. Unfortunately, this sequel (while still providing a number of good laughs) just couldn't live up to its predecessor in any category.For a basic plot summary, "Ted 2" resumes the life stories of Ted (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) and John (Mark Wahlberg) and their crazy antics. Ted is now married to fellow cashier Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) and they want to have a "little Teddy" running around. However, after the obvious insemination difficulties (!), they are stymied further when Ted is ruled "property" by the government. The gang decide to fight the case and are assigned Samantha L. Jackson (Amanda Seyfried) as the junior lawyer hoping to make a mark in her career by winning the case.The obvious issue with this movie is that the novelty has worn off. In the first film, McFarlane could practically get by with the sight gag of a talking teddy bear. That is no longer the case now, with this next film having to rely solely on the humor. Much like "Family Guy", which is now almost completely in the tank (its comedy has dried up), "Ted 2" can't sustain nearly two hours on straight comedy alone. With the novelty gone, it turns into more of a generic, run-of-the-mill comedic effort.Another weakness is that the role Mila Kunis played in part one is not present here. Seyfried brings her own style to the proceedings this time, don't get me wrong, but there was a better chemistry between Kunis, Wahlberg, and MacFarlane. Again, though, perhaps that is just as much because the story is more original in that original film.All of that being said, "Ted 2" still managed to provide me with enough laughs to give it a decent three-star ranking. Had it not started off so terribly slow (after nearly 30 minutes, I was worried it was going to be a completely unfunny disaster), it could have even been bumped a tad higher. Unless a really original, groundbreaking script surfaces for this franchise/characters, it is likely that this will and should be the last installment in the adventures of our furry friend. I would probably see a third one...but with extremely lowered expectations.

soul-l There is no masterpiece here folks, this isn't Green Mile, it's a movie about a drug using teddy bear. I always rank comedy films differently than any other movie because to me all that matters is the laughs. This movie packs plenty of chuckles as you follow the life of Ted, a peter griffin sounding bong smoking Teddy Bear. If there was one major fault of the first Ted, it was that they made an attempt to make it a "good" movie. What started of as hilarious turned into Hancock and got mildly depressing, but this time around they nail it. The movie starts dumb, stays dumb, and ends dumb, all while making me laugh to the point of tears. This is why I view this film as much better than the first one, if you're in the mood to laugh and you enjoy Family Guy type humor than you won't be disappointed. I certainly hope they stick to this formula and we get to see more shenanigans from the worlds most vulgar teddy bear. (PS. Morgan Freeman is in it if you weren't already convinced)
