Seth MacFarlene continues to tell a formulaic story maintaining the offensive, disgusting and ridiculous style of fun from the first Ted but choosing to legalise Ted as the main plot has drastically reduced the opportunity to present more jokes in a creative way, causing the film turns out to be slightly long and less funny. However, the story progresses in an organised structure, allowing plenty characters development with some surprise cameos appearance - Liam Neeson, Jimmy Kimmel and Morgan Freeman. The expression and movement of CGI- created Ted is still perfectly crafted just like he is truly exist as in first film, the chemistry between Wahlberg and Ted is still strong but the romance in between other characters is rather weak, the performance of all the main casts are good even the new comer Amanda Seyfried just fits well as part of the film. Without much difference from its predecessor, the sequel might not offer any fresh theme but its lightheartedly fun and surprisingly emotional ending is still worth to enjoy at the big screens.
