Review of Ted 2

Ted 2 (2015)
7/10
LOL, Better Than the First One
26 June 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I saw "Ted 2", starring Mark Wahlberg-Lone Survivor, The Perfect Storm; the voice of Seth MacFarlane-A Million Ways to Die in the West, Tooth Fairy; Amanda Seyfried-A Million Ways to Die in the West, Jennifer's Body; Jessica Barth-Get Smart_2008, Next and Giovanni Ribisi-A Million Ways to Die in the West, Avatar.

This is the sequel to the 2012 Ted, in case you could not tell by the number 2 in the title. Most of the original actors return, except Mila Kunis, and it is explained why she is not in the picture. The movie opens with Seth/Ted and Jessica getting married. It's not long before they start having marital problems-just like everybody else in the whole wide world does-and they decide to have a baby because, as everyone knows, that always solves the problem. But Seth, being a teddy bear, well he has no ......genitalia. Their only options are to adopt or use a sperm donor and that's when things get complicated. Seth has to go to court to prove he is a person or his status would be that he is considered just ordinary property. His old thunder buddy for life, Mark, helps by getting Amanda, an inexperienced lawyer, to fight for Seth and Jessica. Giovanni shows up hoping that Seth loses in court so that he can use Seth in his own personal schemes. There is a scene involving the NY Comic Con that should bring a tingle to any nerds out there-me included. There are several good cameos; I remember seeing Liam Neesom, Jay Leno and Tom Brady, just to mention a few. FYI: there is a scene after the end credits that includes one of the three cameos that I just mentioned. It's rated "R" for language, drug use and sexual content-including nudity- and has a running time of 1 hour & 55 minutes. If you liked the first one, then you should enjoy this one. In fact, I laughed a lot and I think this one is better. I would buy it on Blu-Ray.
