The Thunder Buddies — John (Mark Wahlberg) and Ted (voice work by writer-director Seth MacFarlane) — are back and seeking to establish personhood for Ted so that he and his new bride Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) can have a baby together (a grown woman wants to have a baby with a teddy bear — don’t ask). The dynamic duo team up with a lawyer named Sam L. Jackson (Amanda Seyfried) to win this landmark case, but somehow I’m already missing Mila Kunis who, as John’s girlfriend in Part One, was the real highlight for me, beyond all of the raunch and raucous titillation that dominated the first installment.
