Ted 2 is the sequel to 2012’s Ted, a film which I never got round to seeing at the time but everyone seemed to rave about a bear that swears. Well, I later saw it when it was shown on TV and… it was terrible.
In this sequel, Ted wants to marry his girlfriend and then have children, but he doesn’t have a penis and can’t provide sperm, hence, cue lots of messing about in a sperm donor clinic, and Mark Wahlberg going along with it again.
Surprisingly, the last segment of this new Red Band trailer – which contains some new footage – did give me a laugh or two, but the rest of it gave me nothing at all. See this tripe at your peril!
Ted is again voiced by Seth MacFarlane, and the cast also includes Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, Patrick Warburton, Dennis Haysbert, Lexi Atkins, Michael Dorn, Richard Schiff, Amanda Seyfried as Samantha Leslie Jackson (who’s never heard of Samuel L Jackson – laugh? I never started) and Sam J Jones (yes, Flash Gordon! He’s alive!)
Ted 2 is released in the UK on July 10th.
