Your favorite bad bear returns to the silver screen, this time to win his rights as a real, live person. When he tries to save his failing marriage by having a baby, the government decides he can’t since he’s just a piece of property. It’s a civil rights march to the courtroom with Mark Wahlberg, arguing against anybody’s right to bear this bear and for Ted’s right to bear a child. Rated R and just shy of two hours, you can join the freedom fight at either Cinemark, Stars and Stripes, or out at the Alamo.
