Ted 2 (2015)

Sequel to director/writer/voice actor Seth McFarlane's 2012 adult comedy about a talking teddy bear, Ted 2 is more of the same, and ironically its that lack of ambition that I think makes the movie work. A casually paced outing loaded with pop culture references and non-squitter humor, the stakes are just high enough to keep a keep a plot moving and the characters, well at times they are strangely endearing. There is brief cameo appearance by Liam Nesson which is so funny that it had me nearly in tears. Better then it should have been. ***
