We ring in the weekend with a trailer from Universal Studios for Ted 2, the sequel to one of the most surprisingly funny films to hit theaters in years. Maybe it’s the fact that this is a green band trailer (rather than a red band one) that makes the film feel censored but it just falls a little flat. An R rated comedy about a talking teddy bear was a brilliant idea but it was one that probably didn’t have franchise legs. Universal will either prove us right or wrong with this film. If the trailer is a representation of what’s to come then we will win this battle. The concept for the story doesn’t feel nearly as immovative as the first film did and the jokes in the trailer are just meh. The R rated jokes could still be really funny though: we’ll see.
