Anchorman 2 : The Legend Continues (2013) 6/10

Starring : Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Christina Applegate
Director : Adam McKay
Running Time : 125 mins

When Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) gets fired from his new reader job in San Diego, he is forced to leave his wife Veronica Corningstone (Applegate) and head to New York for a job on the world’s first 24-hour news station. There he brings back his old friends from his glory days and together they create a news room unlike any other.

I’m a big fan of the original Anchorman movie, and was shocked it’s been left almost a decade before making a sequel. Sadly part of me wishes that the sequel had never been made. As with The Hangover Trilogy, familiarity breeds contempt, and what were once loveable rogues and likeable idiots are now just annoying rogues and intolerable idiots. Fans of the original will shudder at the complete lack of humour that large sections of this movie contain and will be wishing they could turn back time.
