- 80Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekVillage VoiceStephanie ZacharekMacFarlane's comedy may not be sophisticated on its face, but the mechanisms behind it are delicately calibrated.
- 70VarietyScott FoundasVarietyScott FoundasBoth “Ted” movies are, ultimately, one-joke affairs rooted in the idea of taking some emblem of childhood innocence and vulgarizing it.... That joke, though, turns out to be a resilient one, and the chemistry between Wahlberg and MacFarlane is infectiously puerile.
- 60The GuardianJordan HoffmanThe GuardianJordan HoffmanThe Ted franchise is perhaps unstoppable if MacFarlane sets his sights a bit lower, finds a way to streamline the plot mechanics and just give moviegoers what they never knew they wanted: time hanging out with a foul-mouthed anthropomorphised soft toy.
- 60The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThe Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckTed's Boston-accented zingers are expertly delivered by the director/star, whose voice talent is undeniable, and Wahlberg again demonstrates that he's skilled at comedy.
- 50Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperChicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperTed 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.
- 38Slant MagazineChris CabinSlant MagazineChris CabinThe film is a redundant showcase for Seth MacFarlane's racy, dick-centric sense of humor.
- 38Movie NationRoger MooreMovie NationRoger MooreThe acquired taste that is Seth MacFarlane is harder to acquire and the one joke in his one-joke comedy about the pot-smoking/potty-mouthed teddy bear wears thin in the endless two hours of Ted 2.
- Ted 2 is as subtle as a frat-house flick.
- Ted 2 is the equivalent of a middle school bully. It's not as funny as it thinks it is. Its penchant for casual cruelty masks a hollow soul. And it will be totally forgotten once we move onto bigger and better things.
