She brings a lot of laughs to the table and I actually liked her character more than Mila Kunis'. Amanda Seyfried fits in with these two so well and as a trio they really mesh well together. The plot wasn't what made the first so enjoyable, it was their bond. Just like the first film the chemistry between John (Mark Wahlberg) and Ted (Seth Macfarlane) is what makes the comedy work so well, you really believe you are watching two real life friends hang out, rather than Mark Wahlberg and a CGI teddy bear. I knew Mila Kunis was not coming back for this film and after her performance in the lacklustre 'A million ways to die in the West' i was not expecting Seyfried to be a good replacement, but she fits in with the cast very well. Jackson (Amanda Seyfried) and yes as you would expect there are many references to the Hollywood star. Following some marital problems, Ted decides to save his marriage with a baby, but in order to do this he has to prove that he is a person and not just property in the eyes of the law. The basic premise is that Ted has married Tammi-Lynn from the first film, whereas John has divorced Lori. but how could a film with such a premise possibly do anything more to become a franchise? Well not only does Ted 2 ramp up the laughs, it also gives us a surprisingly strong plot and pulls it off well. After the box office success it received a sequel was inevitable. That premise was enough to get us on board and it worked for a one off feature film. It was a basic film about a man and his senile teddy bear who would just smoke weed, swear a lot and hang out. In 2012 when Seth Macfarlane's directorial debut was released, I, like many other people enjoyed it a lot.
