I don't know how, but in what concerns to Seth MacFarlane I always preferred American Dad to Family Guy, and I think that's why I couldn't like this movie more. I liked very much of the first one much because the whole concept was surprising and fresh. With this sequel I believe we are getting the same movie with a bit of improvement in terms of jokes.
If you love Family Guy you will love Ted 2. It's practically the same kind of humour, the same kind of gags. If you don't, well, don't even bother to buy the ticket. Ted is almost like Brian, John is Peter Griffin and Samantha is Lois, although I rather preferred Mila Kunis's turn on the first one to the one Amanda Seyfried gives on this one. I just feel like Mila would have given something to the movie that Amanda can't simply give, despite being a very talented actress.
It's not that Mark Wahlberg is one of my favourite actors, but I think I 'd rather see him doing this type of film than the Transformers's ones which, I need to be honest, I don't give a crap. I think Wahlberg has this gift to comedy movies which started since Boogie Nights.
Jessica Barth is quite a surprise as Tami-Lynn. Once again, and as it happened on the first movie, the show stealer (although there's that Liam Neeson scene, which, in fact, I think was the movie's best) was Giovanni Ribisi as the awkward and misfitted Donny. That "fresh cakes" line just killed me. His scenes were the ones I laughed the much, particularly the Comic Con ones. I think that it was a masterstroke to place de climax of the film on this convention, because it allowed to some notably funny gags regarding the so called "geeks".
Just like the first, Ted 2 is cameo heavy. From Liam Neeson to Tom Brady passing by Sam J. Jones (who had already appeared on the first one). The Liam Neeson one was notably brilliant, in a satire to the more recent roles of the Irish actor.
Ted 2 is an enjoyable flick, with the virtues and flaws that you would expect of a summer blockbuster. Just for laughs and the popcorns!
