Anchorman 2:

The Legend Continues

Plot: Ron Burgundy is back! After getting fired, he and his former team decide to be in charge of a 24 hour news channel.

Review:

 

This is by far the funniest of the two Anchorman movies. After getting fired by Harrison Ford's character Mack Kannan and replaced by his wife, Ron Burgundy is on his own. After months of struggling with different jobs, he is approached to be on a 24 hour news channel program with his former team. Of course there is a rivalry within the newness channel. Jack Lime (James Marsden) tries to muscle out Ron's team but ultimately fails to beat the legend.

 

Anchorman 2 is hilarious! Steve Carell is the highlight of the movie by far as Brick, the weatherman with an iq of 42. He actually winds up getting a girlfriend and they happen to date by vending machines. Will Ferrell is his usual self. His character is totally clueless at certain things. Like not knowing you have to steer with cruise control and getting into an accident. He also happens to have a black boss by the name of Linda Jackson (Meghan Good) and has a hard time at first with the racial difference, but eventually the two hook up for a bit. There are way more ridiculous stunts in this movie. He even adopts a baby shark at one point! If you are up for a good laugh, definitely check this flick out!
