TED 2 Plot

Storyline of TED 2

Internally struggling with the question of who you truly are, and how your identity influences your most important relationships, can be a dauntingly emotional process for everyone, no matter what point you’re at in life. So mixing comedy with the existential question of who we are as people, and humanity’s inherent need to immediately define others mainly based on their personality, can be an even more harrowing process. But director-writer-producer-actor Seth MacFarlane effortlessly intertwined humor and emotional sentiments into his title character’s drive to end identity stereotypes with the help of his new wife, who’s played by Jessica Barth. in the anticipated comedy sequel ‘Ted 2,’ which is set to be released on Friday in theaters nationwide.

‘Ted 2′ follows the title character as he marries the love of his life, Tami-Lynn (Barth) and the two set out to happily build their lives together in Boston. But the contentment is short-lived, as the two have become bitter towards each only a year into their marriage, and they agree that the only way to improve their connection is to have a baby. Despite the rejuvenated satisfaction between the spouses, Ted becomes distressed again when he realizes that his best friend, John (Mark Wahlberg), is still pining for his ex-wife, Lori, even though they got divorced a year-and-a-half prior.

Ted and Tami-Lynn’s rekindled happiness is further crushed when the Commonwealth of Massachusetts declares Ted isn’t actually a person. Since he’s been identified by property by the government, he’s therefore ineligible to adopt a child with his wife. His grief is further extended when he’s fired from his job at the local grocery store, and is informed that his marriage has been annulled, as a result of being declared property.

Angry at the recent unexpected turn of events in his life, Ted asks John to help him sue the state for his civil rights. So they hire a young new lawyer, Samantha L. Jackson (Amanda Seyfried), to serve as their counsel in court. But they lose the case, as Ted’s biggest fan, Donny (Giovanni Ribisi), enlisted the help of his employer, Tom Jessup (John Carroll Lynch), the CEO of the toy company that created the bear, to deny him his rights. While Donny thinks it would be easier to steal Ted if he’s considered property as he begins to plan his abduction strategy, the title character, his best friend and his lawyer are still determined to protect the bear. So the three travel to New York to persuade legendary civil rights attorney Patrick Meighan (Morgan Freeman) to take on their appeal. The group hopes that if they win, they can finally prove that Ted isn’t a teddy bear, but actually a person who deserves the same freedoms as his fellow Americans.
