Writing
Genuinely clever legal satire buried under dick jokes—MacFarlane's whole brand.
Acting
Mark Wahlberg fully committing to screaming at a CGI bear. Respect.

That absurd opening Busby Berkeley number nobody asked for but everyone deserved.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Jurassic Park' theme gag cost more to license than some actors' entire salaries. MacFarlane apparently has 'fuck you' money and uses it exclusively for orchestral chaos.
This bombed after the first film's massive success—audiences in 2015 were apparently fine with a talking bear until he started demanding constitutional rights. The metaphor writes itself.
