Amanda will play the female lead in the sequel

JP Liz V1 · 11-09-2014 12:06am

Morgan Freeman has now joined too

Liam McPoyle · 13-09-2014 11:37am

The first one is an over rated, laugh free piece of crap imo.

Seth McFarlane needs to gtfo of Hollywood and stick to 25 minute cartoons.

karaokeman · 13-09-2014 5:57pm

Morgan Freeman will be super, no doubt. Otherwise I'm not too excited about this. The first Ted was decent enough but the concept got stale by the end of it, anything more will just feel like a cash grab.

Looking forward to this actually, this scene from the first one was fecking hilarious!

That looks fùcking horrendous!

thebostoncrab · 31-01-2015 12:35pm

Like the first one it looks like harmless fun so I'll be checking out. Only problem is after watching that trailer I feel like I've seen the entire plot of the film and how it ends.

Honey Monster · 31-01-2015 12:37pm

Looks as bad as the first one tbh.

Agent Coulson · 27-04-2015 6:35pm

New Red Band Trailer.

cloud493 · 08-07-2015 2:10pm

It was alright. Kinda funny, not as funny as the first. Didn't help they gave away a lot of the best jokes in the trailer.

candy-gal1 · 08-07-2015 4:07pm

Loved this, saw it last night at the Cineworld unlimited screening

, fair play to SMcF for not making a balls of it - it being a comedy sequel and that, very funny and as good as the first if not better tbh!

ancapailldorcha · 08-07-2015 6:05pm

Saw it last night. I didn't watch any trailers so I quite enjoyed it despite missing the first 15 minutes.

I can't stand Mark Wahlberg so seeing him get covered in semen samples

was worth the trip by itself.

krustydoyle · 09-07-2015 2:07am

Plenty of funny one liners but that's it really

Disappointed overall and yes Morgan Freeman is great as usual

cloud493 · 09-07-2015 12:42pm

Best bits that weren't in the trailers

Liam Neeson! And the bit in the improv club

DrFloppy · 09-07-2015 10:37pm

Thought it was very funny. Not as good as the first one but if you've seen Ted and you liked it then you'll know what to expect and you'll like this.

Critics will tear it apart though.

Agreed,

improv club

was one of the only moments that had me in stitches, but I'm a d*ck.

I have to agree with the critic's I thought it a massive disappointment, not as bad as A Million Ways to Die in the West but pretty close. I think if you are a fan of the first film then you would be massively disappointed in this one, and I thought the first Ted film was fine comedy. I found some bits very cheesy

amanda seyfried singing in the woods with animals coming out off nowhere was the worst culprit

. I thought Mila Kunis character was written off pretty badly considering the depths Wahlberg character went to get her back, would it have been easier for her to do a cameo.

Only two jokes made me laugh and they've been mentioned above although I did snigger at the

Weed farm with Jurassic Park music

. But overall I thought this is MacFarlane's second disappointment in a row and it felt a cash in then written with any love. I'm not surprised it's done half the business that first film did.

gucci · 13-07-2015 11:05am

I went in with pretty low expectations, even had a couple of beers beforehand to help loosen up my usually rigid laughter muscles. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first one, but I do like Family Guy and I won’t claim to the humour is anyways below me. I also went with a very eager friend who was really looking forward to it.
We were both in agreement that this was very very poor. The actual gags (number of gags attempted, it is obviously pretty subjective whether they are good or bad) was much lower than I would have expected, and the quality of them were pretty poor too. There were one or two decent giggles

Liam Neeson and the chicks with dicks lines

but all in all a pretty damp squib.

I guess the reality of it is, a teddy bear swearing and smoking weed is funny for about 10 minutes, and the overall novelty factor and momentum created was enough to carry you through to the end of the first movie. However for this one, the joke is on the people who hand over the cash for their tickets.

We actually laughed more at the trailer for the Griswalds that was on before the movie, and even that looked pretty lame!!

Taboola · 13-07-2015 4:03pm

I thought it was OK. Wouldn't be a film I'd ever watch again. Found myself getting distracted during some parts.

Agree with this. One or two good laugh out loud moments but overall 6 / 10.

TerrorFirmer · 14-07-2015 9:18am

I expected far worse after reading this thread. It's not as good or quite as clever as the first movie admittedly - the script and pacing are definitely very inferior. But... it's still a very enjoyable comedy, got a fair few laughs out of it, some of which were definitely laugh out loud moments. Watched it with two friends, and we all liked it. Not as waste of time as I feared, would consider it solid entertainment.

walshb · 15-07-2015 2:41pm

It can't be much worse than Ted? The most atrocious so called comedy I have ever seen.

candy-gal1 · 16-07-2015 7:34pm

Ah have seen it twice, and both times I have to say I burst out laughing quite a few times, I loved the first one with the story and jokes and that but imho I thought this was funnier, more crude but clever and very relatable!
Will probably go again!

nix · 16-07-2015 11:34pm

I went in expecting it to be garbage like the first one so enjoyed it more, imo its far superior to the first with a good flow of laughs, well at least a lot more so than the first.

We're a fun hospital

had me laughing out loud

baldbear · 17-07-2015 11:14am

I didn't get the Liam neeson cameo at all. Couldn't understand why tere was no thunder song either. And Mark Whalberg and the girl 20 years younger is getting a bit tedious.

4/10. Good film for a very bad hangover maybe.

Penn · 17-07-2015 12:30pm

Not as good as the first, but had its moments, particularly

Liam Neeson and the Neil Diamond bit

Neeson · 18-07-2015 12:41am

Anybody else wait for the scene after the credits or could most just not wait to leave the cinema?

_Kaiser_ · 18-07-2015 10:23pm

Saw it earlier.. as said above, not as good as the first one but still laughed at a lot of the one-liners.

18-07-2015 10:29pm

Enjoyed the first one, thought this was awful. Pacing and story were terrible, not many gags attempted and the hit rate with those that were tried was pretty low.

NachoBusiness · 20-07-2015 2:01am

Ted was in a different league to this tbf. Was a far far funnier and much tighter movie.

This felt too long, and much of the jokes you could see coming a mile off.

Felt like a bunch of poor sketches all strung together rather than a complete film.

Wanted to like it so much too. Disappointing

But, still a decent comedy worth seeing, just no where near the original.

efb · 20-07-2015 2:07am

I thought this movie was awful. Didn't watch all of it.

Penn · 20-07-2015 9:52am

One thing I forgot to mention, the opening huge dance sequence over the intro credits was an insanely poor decision. I get that MacFarlane loves that sh*t (it happens all the time in Family Guy), but it completely bores people less than 5 minutes into the movie. It's incredible that no-one was able to talk him out of it.

Yeah I agree with that. Honestly quite a lot of the movie feels like it was taken from family guy, like not inspired, but literally taken directly from the show.

Addle · 30-07-2015 1:56am

Of the bit I saw, all that impressed me was the musical number at the start.

Saw the televised concert mcfarlane took part in with the john Wilson orchestra a few years ago, during the proms I think, and he was very impressive.
He's evidently a big fan and I thought it was very respectful of him to use the john Wilson orchestra.
