Anchorman 2

Overall Rating: 8/10
One Word to Describe it: Hilarious

Continuing on the success of Ron Burgundy in the first film, Anchorman 2 is right up there with its predecessor for humour and wit. Ron Burgundy is now happy and has a wife and son, until she dumps him for another man due to her being made head of the Network and Burgundy being fired. Burgundy feels that his wife has betrayed him and leaves. He is soon hired by the Global News Network and gets his old team of  Champ Kind, Brian Fantana and the hysterical to watch Brick back together. The relationship between the 4 is warm and humorous and is a highlight throughout the film, particularly exchanges between Will Ferrell and Paul Ruud as Burgundy and Fantana. However, some jokes are a bit overrun such as the racism and stereotypes that Ferrell shows towards his new black boss and her family. The film has its best moments at the end when it cumulates in an almost ridiculously funny battle between all the global news networks with Burgundy reconciling with his family and Brick finding a soul mate. Even the most stony-hearted people will find it hard to not enjoy the wit and vitality of Burgundy and his comrades.
