Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- José Arce @ LaButaca.net [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Sin la capacidad de sorprender de la primera entrega, “Ted 2? vuelve a tropezar en la falta de sentido del ritmo de Seth MacFarlane. Hace reír, por supuesto; esconde genialidades, por supuesto. Pero se hace pesada en general.
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: Really, what’s most offensive about ‘Ted 2’ isn’t the smirking “black jokes” and the like, but the somewhat startling amount of screen time MacFarlane spends being syrupy, self-important, and (God forbid) taking his ridiculous “plot” seriously.
- Kevin Carr @ 7M Pictures
- Excerpt: Doing an originally unplanned sequel to an unexpected hit often results in mediocrity. Sadly, and predictably, that’s what we get with “Ted 2.”
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: While the plot drives the sperm donor hijinx (an attempt to ‘milk’ Patriots QB Tom Brady, a Boston Police code 317, and MacFarlane upping the ante on the Farrelly’s “Something About Mary” with havoc at a sperm bank), it’s a dead weight on the last two acts.
- Jim Dixon @ Examiner.com
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: The movie … finds itself in a strange place in tying Ted’s legal fight to similar real-world ones.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Susan Granger @ www.susangranger.com
- Excerpt: The bawdy bear is back in this flagrantly fumbling sequel – and it’s disappointingly un-funny.
- Vadym Grygoriev @ kinoblog.com [Ukrainian]
- Mark Hobin @ Fast Film Reviews
- Excerpt: Ted 2 offers more hilarious high jinks in the same manner as the first. If you’re OK with that, then it should satisfy your humor cravings.
- MaryAnn Johanson @ FlickFilosopher.com
- Excerpt: Is the man who sang “We Saw Your Boobs” at the Oscars one to give us a touching story about civil rights and human dignity? Take a guess..
- Charlie Juhl @ Citizen Charlie
- Excerpt: Ted goes to court Miracle on 34th Street style to convince a jury he is as much a person as the next bear. If he imbibes alcohol, does he not get drunk? If he smokes marijuana, does he not get high? You know, deep philosophical questions like that.
- Jeremy Kibler @ The Artful Critic
- Excerpt: Shave off twenty-five minutes and “Ted 2” is a solidly diverting 90-minute comedy.
- Kristin Dreyer Kramer @ NightsAndWeekends.com
- Dan Lybarger @ ArkansasOnline.com
- Excerpt: The film itself isn’t much fun without chemical help.
- Alan Mattli @ Facing the Bitter Truth [German]
- Excerpt: A hit-and-miss comedy with a flimsy plot that constantly makes you feel that the next great joke might just be around the corner. Much like the first one, really.
- Brent McKnight @ The Last Thing I See
- Excerpt: Ted 2′ is everything about the first film recycled, less effective, and totally forgettable.
- [New – 10/1/15] | Jared Mobarak @ The Film Stage
- Stefan Pape @ HeyUGuys
- João Pinto @ Portal Cinema [Portuguese]
- Jason Pirodsky @ Expats.cz
- Excerpt: Seth MacFarlane’s talking bear is back in Ted 2, an intermittently uproarious comedy that also features minutes-long dramatic sequences with nary a laugh, and lumbers to an ungainly 115-minute running time.
- José M. Robado @ CineCrítico [Spanish]
- Frank Swietek @ One Guys Opinion
- Excerpt: This second helping of MacFarlane’s smugly lowbrow hijinks [is] we;;-nigh unbearable…a juvenile stream of drug gags, penis-centric jokes, pop culture riffs and other raunchy stuff ladled out with a sluggish, leaden hand.
