Ted 2 (2015)

I had just watched the 1st part yesterday and thought why not watch the sequel today, as i watched the film a thought popped up maybe the reason i enjoyed the previous film as much was may be the fact it displaced my opinion, but this film felt generic from the get go.

here the story is that  Mark Wahlberg has gotten divorced and Ted (Seth MacFarlane) who fight for his right as a person (to those who forgot ted is a plush toy a literal teddy bear came to life) in court with a novice attorney Amanda Seyfried

this film falls into the very common issue that a sequel to a film that need none and planned none faces that is solved by bring out a story out of the ass. this generally goes in a very generic pattern of comedy other elements sprinkled throughout.

does it have good parts yes i guess so, if i had to choose the cameo and post credit scene of Liam Neeson would be my pick.

this film might be better catered to those that liked the prequel or Seth MacFarlane style comedy. again a lazy Saturday type film.

Ted (2012)

now i remeber the time this film was released i remeber seeming its poster in the theaters when i went to watch other films, yet i never felt to interested to sit down watch this till today. i was under the impression this was like all teddy bear related films aimed at children about parents and their children coming close due to there shared interest or love from something or a teddy.

the amount by which i was off was so huge that the film took me by complete surprise, to those who haven’t watched it the story goes like this a child wishes to have his teddy come to life which happens and now they both grow up in to adults and stay best friends the fact one is one is a man child in a adults body and other is a man child inside a teddy’s body.

other that the initial shock of having expected something else of the movie everything else well every generic comedy material down to the romantic aspect, the choice of choosing love over friendship clique, is it bad no but its a simple lazy watch for a Saturday afternoon.

night night…

i couldn’t point it out first but all through out the film i had this feeling this movie seems so similar yet i was sure i haven’t watch anything particularly like this, it wasn’t until i sat down to write this and went through the IMDb page that i got the eureka moment, Seth MacFarlane was the director writer and voice of the titular character, it was this comedic tone that i have experienced in Family Guy.

so in the simplest sense if u have enjoyed family guy this film might be similarly enjoyable to you.
