There is no way Ted and Tami-Lynn can adopt or have a child with donor sperm unless Ted has his status changed.
John and Ted enlist the help of young lawyer Samantha (Amanda Seyfried) to help regain Ted's "human" status in the courts.
But waiting in the wings is serial pest Donny (Giovanni Ribisi) who has always wanted Ted as his own.
He is just waiting for the opportunity to grab the furry guy.
An entertaining sidelight through the movie are special appearances from people such as Liam Neeson, Jay Leno, US football star Tom Brady, Jimmy Kimmel and Morgan Freeman.
Neeson, in particular, pops in for only about a minute but what a minute it is.
Ted 2 is absolutely more of the same from the original.
Nothing is sacred and no references are off limits. MacFarlane is prepared to grab a laugh whenever and wherever he can.
Ted 2 is not for everybody but if you are prepared to accept it at face value, it is a hoot.
