"I used to use this in a class I taught on sound. There’s a part where Tati is in a waiting room and sitting on all these squeaky chairs, and then you hear clickety-clackety sounds in the hallway. I love the contrast between how clean and slick everything in that set is with his little umbrella and raincoat. It’s all so cartoony, but you’re worried about this character the whole time. Everything is done through gesture, and Tati’s performance is so brilliant it makes you feel such concern for this man drifting in this modern world."

Ted 2 (2015)
2015 | Comedy
The first film was hilarious and a fresh take on friendship that delivered big on laughs aimed squarely at adults.
Ted 2 is more of the same and is very satisfying although its lost some of its original appeal and charm.
The inclusion of Flash Gordons Sam jones is inspired and surprising which lends a comedy element to what is essentially a more prosaic plot centring around adoption.
It's still a very funny movie, but one that has reached an end, I for one have room for another Ted movie, but it's likely his last outing.
