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.

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.

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 liked that they kept it realistic.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Anchorman 2 is easily one of the most surreal and bizarre films ever made. I'm not kidding, what other film has a news anchor bottle-feeding a shark as well as Harrison Ford playing a werewolf. Now tell me that isn't completely insane. And that's why I love this sequel. Now, I don't think it is as good as the original, but that film has had many years to culminate into a cult phenomenon. I hope Anchorman 2 will find its footing with viewers in the future, because it's a truly uneven but undeniably crazy piece of comedic cinema.

Surreal avant garde Bañuelesque comedy has finally gone mainstream.

"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…
Review by Harry Ridgway ★★

In my experience, the first Anchorman has a strange and captivating charm that toils away in your mind until a solid appreciation for the film manifests. It took me five or so years to entirely appreciate the wittiness that Anchorman and its genial performers have to offer, eventually having my eyes opened when I kept witnessing hilarious quotes tossed about from the film. Disappointingly, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues has somehow lost all magnetism of the original and instead meanders its way through an insipid narrative and a vast array of lackluster characters in an attempt to revive the beloved persona of Ron Burgundy.
The Legend Continues commences with stability; Ron losing his current anchor gig and must reunite the…

why
Review by Jizzmonkey ★★★

I was really worried about this one, but the crack-smoking scene saved it.
Review by Matt Singer ★★★★

"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."

I remain a big Kench Allenby guy. So glad he was acquitted of murder.

Doesn't have the same rewatchability as the original, but still has its moments.

Review by Robb Pastor

The wait is over, America - Ron Burgundy is back and 'funnier than ever!' After losing his job to his wife and co-anchor, Ron reassembles the news team and squares off against a new rival. Will the world's greatest anchorman be crushed beneath the weight of his own ego (and his salon-quality hair)? Anything goes in the outrageous comedy that critics are calling 'one of the funniest movies of the year!'
