Movie Review: Ted 2
Sequels are always a daunting task in
the world of motion pictures, lest a potential franchise become
victim to the dreaded sophomore jinx phenomenon. A sequel has the
difficult task of building on an established world and the characters
that inhabit them. Usually for a film to even have a chance at making
a sequel it means that the first film did it's job well and become
moderately popular at the very least.
Ted 2 is definitely one of those films
that you can see being a hit or a bust, based on the original films
interesting premise of a talking teddy bear that comes alive.
Although that kind of magical tale of toys come to life might have
been in our heads since we were kids, when mixed in with the
sometimes brilliant and slightly over the top comedy writing of Seth
MacFarlane, it became something more.
