Ted 2

Ted 2 - starring Mark Wahlberg & Seth MacFarlane.  This is a fucking funny movie.  The movie opens at the wedding of Ted, the foul mouthed Teddy Bear (narrated by Seth MacFarlane) & his equally foul mouthed girlfriend Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth).  John (Mark Wahlberg) is Ted's best man but has a hard time enjoying the festivities as he is still getting over his failed marriage and divorce.   Ted's marriage soon begins to crumble also and in an attempt to save it, he & Tami-Lynn decide to have a baby.  With Ted being a Teddy Bear that obviously presents some problems.  John offers to help them get a baby and several hairbrained, and hilarious, ideas are hatched.  When those ideas fail, Ted & Tami-Lynn decide to try adoption, that in turn opens up a personhood investigation, and a court case in which Ted is deemed to be property, not a person and his marriage and hopes of starting a family thus crumble.  I won't spoil any more of the movie, needless to say things end well for most of those involved.  I really liked this movie, it was pretty funny, that's no easy task for a sequel.  I also loved all of the cameos, especially Liam Neeson.  Amanda Seyfried also does a nice job in her role as Ted's attorney/John's new love interest.  Be forewarned, if you're not a fan of crude humor, you probably won't like this one too much, and despite the Teddy Bear, it's not a movie for kids. If you're an adult who likes to laugh and likes a little crude humor though, give it a watch!

I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars (*****).
