Reviews
I remember the first Ted movie
being more jammed packed with jokes and gags. Not that Ted 2 does not make me
roll on the floor with laughter,
But in this movie, Ted attempts to adopt a baby after marring Tami- Lynn only to have the system catch up with him and realize that he's not a real person, but someone's property, so Ted goes to court for his Civil Rights, a beautifully message especially at this time, with the movie suggesting the plot was inspired by the fight for same sex marriage (or considering what a pop culture junkie Seth Macfarlane is, he probably was mostly inspired by the 80s movie Short Circuit 2 which has a similar concept)
It's a good plot line that makes you think about what it means to be a real person. The whole layout reminds me more of Seth's other animated series, American Dad, which had a lot of episodes that had a strong message, layered under fart jokes.
It's a no brainier for those of us who love Family Guy(I recognized one of the sight gags from the animated series coming to live-action in the movie), and for those of us who are pop culture junkies (My biggest laughs are when they go to comic con), and then there is a huge chunk of the sequel (a really big one) with the concept of equality,to grasp a new demographic and prove to the world that Macfarlene is not a complete jerk.
It's a good message about humanity but it does make Ted 2 less funny than Ted, but it's still worth seeing.
