JP I haven't seen the first one. I watched this because I want a stress reliever. I want to watch something funny. Oh well. It is indeed hilarious.Characters and storyline are formulaic, but it is still really funny at times. Let me warn you. This movie is not for everyone. Not for those who can't tolerate crude humor, with lots of f words.

angus-silvie I have to confess that while watching Ted 2 I laughed out loud - something I rarely do when watching a film - more often than I did during Ted 1, or any other film I can remember for many years. The dialogue is fast and snappy and although much of it doesn't hit the mark, when it does, it is hilarious.Yes, the characters do things no-one would do in real life, but then in real life no-one would have a talking teddy bear. However, I did find the relentless cruelty and bullying by the gay guys from Star Trek a little over the top and unnecessary. Likewise the almost constant drug-taking. It seems almost expected these days that any Hollywood film will have most of the main characters constantly taking drugs, and I don't really know why no-one has suggested that this might not actually be helping young people wean themselves away from drugs - it really isn't helping society. "Oh look, all the people we look up to and who earn lots of money are spending almost every day drugged out of their minds yet they seem to function perfectly well. Can't be anything wrong with it then!" I'll bet the drug barons are rubbing their hands with glee every time a Hollywood film rolls off the presses these days and yet more characters are seen snorting lines of cocaine as though it is the most normal thing in the world. By all means have Ted and John smoking weed now and again, but it's all they seem to talk about, and pretty much every time they stood still out came the apparatus for another hit. Too much! They were perfectly funny when they weren't smoking, they didn't need the drugs.Certainly didn't need all the swearing either - completely unnecessary and the sign of lazy writing. I don't know why writers think by adding the f-word into sentences where there is absolutely no need for it eg 'How about we get some effing breakfast' makes it any more entertaining to listen to. People don't all talk like that, it just makes the film less realistic and frankly depressing.The more films keep promoting incessant swearing and drugs, the more people will start to think it is acceptable. It isn't! Stop it!!Apart from that, I really enjoyed this film. It didn't drag despite being quite long, and although some scenes were a bit silly, there were not too many massive plot holes or daft character behaviours and the majority of it worked.

sakram Ted 2 is a sequel (not the first plot) where we see the unique puppet-human duo on another drama sequence creating problems, well this time they are 'encountering' unexpected problems (Can't spoil any) the humor is finer in this one, I liked this plot even more, the same cast is back, except for the black-haired girl who is unreasonably absent in this one (I disliked this) and was somehow replaced by a blonde girl (Samantha) just for the sake of having another love story take place, this very aspect is both good and bad. The ending of this one is much better, and I like the idea this is no longer about some puppet-abductor fools who try over and over to steal Ted (To me that is ludicrous), it's about some real problem, law problem, and I loved how it all ended.7.5/10 , Better than Ted 1, I would watch this one again !

soul-l There is no masterpiece here folks, this isn't Green Mile, it's a movie about a drug using teddy bear. I always rank comedy films differently than any other movie because to me all that matters is the laughs. This movie packs plenty of chuckles as you follow the life of Ted, a peter griffin sounding bong smoking Teddy Bear. If there was one major fault of the first Ted, it was that they made an attempt to make it a "good" movie. What started of as hilarious turned into Hancock and got mildly depressing, but this time around they nail it. The movie starts dumb, stays dumb, and ends dumb, all while making me laugh to the point of tears. This is why I view this film as much better than the first one, if you're in the mood to laugh and you enjoy Family Guy type humor than you won't be disappointed. I certainly hope they stick to this formula and we get to see more shenanigans from the worlds most vulgar teddy bear. (PS. Morgan Freeman is in it if you weren't already convinced)
