Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)
Not the sequel you're looking for
Don't get me wrong, I loved the original and this was one of my most anticipated movies of the year. I have been waiting for an Anchorman sequel for years, however this is not the movie I was waiting for. The best thing about this movie is the commentary about how ridiculous the news has become, but if that is what I was looking for, I would just watch The Newsroom. I watch Anchorman for the comedy and the buffoonery of the Channel 4 news team. This movie is full of buffoonery but lacks the fresh comedy of the original. It seems as though they just examined everyone's favorite bits from the first movie and tried to rehash them just with different wording in a different setting, almost as if this movie was made by a fan who was trying way too hard to replicate what he loved about the original. This time around though the jokes just seemed formulaic and didn't work. This is one sequel that, it pains me to say, I can definitely live without.
