Ted 2
Short description
Ted 2 continues the story of John Bennett and his living teddy bear, Ted, who has married Tami-Lynn. When the couple decide to have a child in an attempt to repair their marriage, they run into a legal obstacle: the authorities treat Ted as property rather than a person, which rules out adoption and calls his marriage into question. Ted and John set out to challenge that status in court, with help from a young lawyer and later a prominent civil rights attorney.
Seth MacFarlane directed the film and wrote the screenplay with Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild, and he again voices Ted. Mark Wahlberg returns as John, with Amanda Seyfried, Jessica Barth, Giovanni Ribisi and Morgan Freeman among the cast. It is the third feature MacFarlane directed, after Ted and A Million Ways to Die in the West, and it followed three years after the first film.
Released in June 2015, the comedy cost about 68 million dollars and took roughly 216 million dollars worldwide, a solid return though well below the first film. On IMDb it holds 6.3 out of 10 from about 259,000 votes, and on TMDB it also sits at 6.3, from over 8,000 votes. A critics' rating of 5.3 out of 10 from 200 reviews places it below both audience scores.
What's left behind the scenes
- In the Comic-Con scene, Patrick Warburton's character is dressed as Tick, and Michael Dorn's character is dressed as Worf. Warburton played Tick in the series "The Tick" (2001-2002), and Dorn played Lieutenant Worf in "Star Trek: The Next Generation" (1987-1994).
- The trailer features a car chase scene with a crash, after which Samantha asks Ted and John if they are okay. This scene is not in the final version of the film.
- When Ted is driving, he parodies the classic John Candy scene from "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" (1987).
- Morgan Freeman's character was named after "Family Guy" (1999) writer Patrick Meany.
- During the fight scene at Comic Con, Peter Griffin can be seen fighting a chicken in one shot, referencing the characters' fights in the series "Family Guy" (1999).
