The first Anchorman had funny moments AND a story. The second Anchorman just had funny moments.

99% of the jokes in this movie were either recycled from the first movie or just random amalgamations of words that had really no relation to each other or relevance to anything. Much as family guy can be criticized for just saying random things and calling them jokes, Anchorman 2 does the same, minus the humor. I love a dumb joke as much as the next person, but the thing is, you can't just string funny words together whenever you want and call it a comedy. Although it had a few good moments, as a whole this movie was very disappointing. Whereas the first movie had genuinely funny jokes and original ideas, the sequel suffered from a lack of creativity and a crippling dependence on the first movie's plot structure. I wouldn't recommend paying any money to see this film.

Continuing the saga of Ron Burgundy and his news team , the comedy back 10 years later, now in the 70 to repeat his criticism of society and not be ashamed to make a nonsense mood. Gathering his team again this time to a telecommunications project journalism 24 hours in New York, Ron ends up being assigned to the the morning newspaper. To overcome hearing problems that track time has comes the solution to bring news that really would attract the audience in an appealing way, with his reports in kittens, best football bids and police chases, its public soon will the tops of the station. The film structure reminds much of its predecessor, which ends at a time, as part of joke. His style of humor, which is fully loaded for the great performance the core team, will make you laugh than others movies you might consider tacky or dull. Its brightness comes in its great reviews, which despite being made to the 70, continue to apply to today. Unfortunately much of the public not to play this style of humor most critical, finishes not understanding which the movie came, leading to be restricted to a less public. We can see this through your notes in RottenTomatoes, specialized reviews giving higher scores and big public tends to reject.With its weak direction, the set of jokes and construction characters captivate the film. Not to be seen in the room with the family, far addition, we need a more appropriate tasting. taking note that it is only a comedy, it fulfills its purpose and is with the added bonus of making you think.

Thank heavens that Adam McKay was allowed to make The Big Short because of this film, because it is the only acceptable reason for it existing.Anchorman 2 reunites most of the lovable cast of the original 2004 classic, but viewers would be forgiven for giving a sigh of pity. Each and every one of them looks sad and old in their makeup and wigs, especially Paul Rudd and Steve Carell. The latter, on the verge of his stunning performances in Foxcatcher and The Big Short, gives probably his worst ever performance in Brick Tamland, a lovable minor character in the first film but now just obnoxiously and intrusively stupid. I didn't enjoy even one of his scenes. Ferrell tries every now and then, but it falls to fresh faces like Josh Lawson and Greg Kinnear to actually inject the energy into the film. Kristen Wiig is cute but every scene she is in I hated because of how it was written for Carell. I cringe for Meagan Good and the tragically sexist and tokenistic role she was given.Anchorman wrapped up nicely, but Anchorman 2 promptly erases all of that by creating a new future for their characters. I hate that about sequels, especially because it breaks up Ron and Veronica (a la Ted and Jurassic Park, therefore ruining the first film for everyone). Ron's story of pushing puff news stories has its moments but is greatly undone by a blindness subplot and a family arc featuring a horrendous performance by Judah Nelson. Then there's the excruciating story of a shark which exists only to rehash the Baxter jokes from the first one.The film is not worth watching. Just YouTube the Josh Lawson scenes and the big Anchor fight that are the highlights of the film and don't subject yourself to the rest of it.
