Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: 

• The sexual references are a touch milder than the first movie. No Nudity at all

• A man enters a sperm clinic as a donor and comes out of a room with a jar. A teddy bear throws another jar at him and his face is slimed (seen in the trailers, not graphic)

• In the very beginning of the movie, at a bachelor party, a brief fleeting video is shown on a TV with 2 grizzly bears mating, one bear is shown standing behind another moving, no full detail and played for comedic effect.

• A woman is shown at a movie convention wearing a costume which portrays 3 breasts, no nipples and very little detail is shown.

• Many women are shown at some parts of the movie wearing skimpy clothing, but no nudity or even close.

• A picture is seen on Facebook with a teddy bear trying to smoke a genital shaped bong. Not fully clear but can be made out.

• A teddy bear says that Jay Leno comes to a bar to "get action in the bathrooms", and later, Jay Leno is shown hurriedly running out of the bar

Violence & Gore: None.

Profanity:  The language is also a touch milder than the first movie, with around 50 uses of "f--k", some smaller language, and one each of "whore", "c--k" and "tits."

Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: 

• Some small cigarette use by Ted and some incomprehensible various others.

• Marijuana usage is shown in more than a couple of scenes.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: The R rating is only for language.

Story: Newlywed couple Ted and Tami-Lynn want to have a baby, but in order to qualify to be a parent, Ted will have to prove he's a person in a court of law.

Likes : I'm going to be honest here in say i loved the first film it had all the comedy in the right places, it was complete laugh out loud funny but W.T.H happened to the sequel , don't get me wrong this sequel had its moments where you do have some funny moments but it's just wasn't as good as the first film was.

Sadly this film tries to use a more serious tone with comedy which quiet frankly dose work in comedy yes this film does a few moments where your going to find yourself laughing at but it seem to miss so much comedy that could of been in this sequel for it to exceed the first film.

ya i know alot of the review are saying it was a better film than he first one but sadly i disagree, this first film have more laugher moment , it didn't try to make it self to serious & it was just a roll of the chair funny film.

Sadly this film is missing the comedy that the first film had the only thing good which was a welcome cast Amanda Seyfried she brought a bit of a mellow atmosphere to the film as a weed smoking lawyer that a straight A student, there are a few moments with ted usual self that make you laugh but it just seem it wasn't enough to keep me laughing with this one.

Dislikes : Sadly this film has fallen in to that trap of a identity crisis weather to be a serious film or a comedy as the two just don't mix, which sadly make this a very weak tame version of what was brought in the film, don't get me wrong as ive said before it has it odd moments where its funny but most of the jokes fall flat.

Overall : First film was better, this one was ok, some funny moments but not much, try to be two thing at the same time.

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.3 out of 10 for story.
