I feel unsure about the stars I have given this film. Only because I feel guilty for scoring it so high. But why should I be snobby when I found this film absolutely hilarious and such an improvement on the original. I feel like this could've been a great plot for the original film as it would've elevated the substance and meaning and created a more impactful film as well as a hilarious comedy. That's not the say I didn't like the original however, I feel that people will judge this film in a different way because of their thoughts of the first.
The first film I felt fell flat on quite a few laughs however this one knocked it out of the park with physical humour and references as well as just slapstick and silly humour. The comedy timing has improved severely and I think this is a good redemption for Seth MacFarlane.
I didn't particularly think much of Amanda Seyfried's character. Apart from a good love interest to John who was intelligent and did her own badass thing, I think she was more of a fantasy girl than a real woman. Like, who just whacks out a bong in front of your first clients as a training barrister?
I'll overlook some writing errs though as the image of Ted in a raincoat is still making me crack up.
