	Author	Review
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"Although the original's over-the-top vulgarity has been dialed down a notch, Ted 2 still offers plenty of R-rated laughs (...) Wahlberg again demonstrates that he's skilled at comedy"	POS
United States	Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune	"I laughed three or four times, mostly at verbal byplay since director MacFarlane struggles when it comes to timing, filming and cutting sight gags."	NEU
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"In its own, sweetly subversive way, this might be just the tolerance plea America needs right now - a movie that says, in effect, 'Love thy plushie as thyself'."	POS
United Kingdom	Graham Fuller Screendaily	"MacFarlane has delivered Universal a faster, bigger, splashier tentpole this time out. 'Ted' fans will be pleased to hear that the follow-up is more crass, slapstick-driven, and politically incorrect than the 2012 original."	POS
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	As he proved with his misbegotten A Million Ways to Die in the West, MacFarlane is essentially a guy who’s gotten appallingly lucky on television. He exhibits zero proficiency in cinematic staging and no sense of pace.	NEG
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"If you're ready to go with the hit-and-miss flow, you'll laugh your ass off. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Jacob Hall New York Daily News	"Once again, you will believe that a talking CGI stuffed animal can be a racist, hateful monster with no redeeming qualities ... but his greatest sin is that he's not funny (...) Rating: ★ (out of five)"	NEG
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Mostly though, 'Ted 2' feels like far too many other sequels: born of box office expectations more than a bona fide reason to return to the characters we loved the first time around (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"Seth MacFarlane's sequel has enough grins to bear the sticky bits (...) Undeniably funny (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"Mr. MacFarlane can be funny, but 'Ted 2' is insultingly lazy hack work."	NEG
United States	Dan Callahan The Wrap	There are some good laughs in this movie (...) But bad taste needs to be more honest and more all-inclusive if it’s to make a lasting impression, and MacFarlane’s bad taste here is both too wishy-washy and too knee-jerk cruel to really make any impact"	NEU
