What is Ted 2 about?
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.
Does it have a happy ending? (spoiler-safe)
Yes. It lands on a happy note.
A newlywed teddy bear fights for personhood in a raunchy, absurdist, and crowd-pleasing legal battle.
Campy and darkly comic, with raunchy humor. A date-night pick at a brisk pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
