Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues


With the 70's behind him, San Diego's top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), returns to the news desk in Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.  Also back for more are Ron's co-anchor and wife, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), weather man Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), man on the street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner) - All of whom won't make it easy to stay classy while taking the nation's first 24-hour news channel by storm.

This is pretty much more of the same from the first one.  The funny thing is that  I left the theater after the first one thinking it was stupid and so not funny.  It wasn't until repeated viewings that I realized how damn funny and quotable it was.  That whole experience helped this movie to be more funny at first viewing.  But like I said, it's pretty much more of what was funny in the first.  That material combined with the mocking of news casting evolution provided lots of huge laughs.  

I'd absolutely recommend this movie for anyone that enjoyed the first one.  The characters are all still great and you will be laughing throughout the movie.
