Ted 2 is the sequel to the very successful Ted which happens to be my favourite comedy of all time, so after the trailers, you could say i was looking forward to seeing what this could bring. And it did a pretty good job at including a lot of the crude humour you would expect from this sequel. I thought it had many funny moments that were well spread out over the entire film, a good amount were just funny while there were a few really really funny moments, unfortunately almost all of those really really funny moments were in the trailer so you knew they were coming. As well as the funny jokes there were also quite a few that fell flat, I will put them into two categories to make it easier; the jokes that were obviously there to try and top what was done in the first film, and, the jokes they re-used multiple times throughout the film. And there were like 4-5 jokes they used at multiple moments and it did get exhausting by the end. What it was missing was some more unpredictable jokes that the first film had, it did have a few that completely catch you off guard but a lot are predictable so that was a little letdown.
The plot? it was alright i guess, but who cares it's not the focus of the film where you have a swearing teddy bear, so when stuff happens you just go with it. It moved pretty fast but it also slowed down at times, the jokes really determined where the plot was going to go. Oh, and there is a side plot that i won't spoil because you don't know about it from the trailers, but it is so dreadfully boring and brings down the film a lot. It was just boring and felt like it was out of place and thrown in there just to add another 30 minutes to the film, so yeah, the film could have cut that 30 minutes out and it would have been much better. But in the end Ted 2 offers the crude and unpredictable jokes you want, so that aspect you will like if you liked the first film, unfortunately there is not enough of that to make it as good as its predecessor. If you just completely zone out during the side plot you will not miss a thing and will make for a better experience. - 6.7
