In Ted 2, Ted is now married and wants to have a baby (yes, this is a stuffed bear we are talking about), with Ted’s best friend and childhood companion John providing the sperm for artificial insemination. But, he has to go to court to prove that he is a person in order to have custody of the child.
In this latest trailer, Ted reveals to his wife that he has been declared as “property” and she replies with “they can’t change your whole life just by calling you property!” Then of course everything is shown to go wrong before John suggests to Ted that he should get a lawyer, and so Amanda Seyfried graces our screens. The trailer is full of quips and jokes that hint at the comedy that is yet to come, and a few sing-songs along the way. Oh, and a teddy bear driving a nice, shiny car into the side of a barn.
If you like all things surreal, funny and ultimately entertaining, then Ted 2 looks like a hit.
Though there is a chance, like with all sequels, that there is not much more to gain from the talking teddy-bear plot and it may end up dry, dull and a bit lacklustre. We shall find out when Ted 2 is released in cinemas nationwide on the 8th of July.
