‘Ted 2’ Due Dec. 15

The sequel to the surprise hit “Ted” (2012) finds John (Mark Wahlberg) dejected after a speedy marriage and divorce, but Ted’s romance with co-worker Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) is full-speed ahead after a dream wedding presided over by none other than Flash Gordon (Sam J. Jones) himself. But when the pair tries to adopt a child, they are stunned by the contention that Ted is not a person. With the help of John and newly minted lawyer and longtime weed aficionado Samantha L. Jackson (Amanda Seyfried), the couple takes on the intolerance of a system unable to understand their love.
