  The scene where Ron Burgundy walks into his office and the rest of the news team is cackling hysterically at Garfield At Large is the artistic pinnacle of American cinema.

  Steve Carell's Weather Forecast scene was one of the funniest things I've seen recently. Also I was tripping at that exact moment, and nearly freaked out as much as he did.

  I don’t know why I watched this but it was kinda fun I guess. It’s not all that funny and it’s really stupid but I promise you’ll be entertained. Probably definitely gonna forget it soon, whatever. It’s still better than Vice and The Big Short oops.

  "Adam McKay’s movies tend to play better on the 10th viewing than the first. His humor is so surreal and unpredictable, it sometimes takes a couple of tries to fully appreciate its quirks and eccentricities. No wonder his aesthetic lends itself so well to a sequel; faithful fans of the first ANCHORMAN already understand the rules of THE LEGEND CONTINUES’ universe, and they’re all the more prepared to indulge McKay and star/co-writer Will Ferrell in their inspired flights of comedic fancy. A lot of sequels suffer from a debilitating sense of sameness, but in McKay’s world, familiarity breeds quotation rather than contempt. When ANCHORMAN 2 repeats gags or motifs from the original movie, it doesn’t feel like a rehash so much as a reunion with old friends."

  "You made one mistake today. You messed with somebody from San Diego."

  Director Adam McKay and Will Ferrell have teamed up once again for the sequel to their most successful film after nearly 10 years with very big shoes to fill. Despite having worked together in Step Brothers, The Other Guys, and Talladega Nights (which is my personal favorite), Anchorman was their most quoted and remembered film so expectations were high for this sequel. Despite not being as great as the first film, this sequel manages to entertain thanks to several hilarious scenes and many memorable characters that are just fun to be around. Some of the jokes are a bit familiar and repetitive, but Will Ferrell brings in the…
