There's no doubt in my mind that Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is very much a 'Marmite film'. And, for the most part, it hinges solely on your opinion of Will Ferrell.
As a huge fan of everything Ferrell's done to date, from the various comedies he's starred in through to the more serious dramas, I think his return to the beloved role of Ron Burgundy is absolutely hilarious. The sequel had me in stitches from the moment it started.
Many years have passed since the events of the first film, and when legendary anchorman Mack Tannen (Harrison Ford) decides he wants Veronica (Christina Applegate) to be his replacement, Ron grows insanely jealous, to the point of almost entirely throwing his career away.
Fast forward six months, though, and things are about to change. For one thing, it's the '80s! Cue nostalgic costumes, hair cuts, and music, and everything that goes with one of the greatest decades of all time. And with it comes the birth of the 24-hour news cycle, and Ron is going to be its champion.
Offered a job to anchor the world's first 24-hour news network, he assembles the legendary Channel 4 News Team once more, bringing Brian (Paul Rudd), Champ (David Koechner), and of course Brick (Steve Carell) back to the table once more.
The jokes are even better than the original, and with some inspired casting additions in the form of Kristen Wiig, Greg Kinnear, and many more, the comedy just keeps getting better and better throughout.
Expect controversial jokes from all sides, some hilarious gags that you can't help but laugh at, and some exceptional cameos from the likes of Harrison Ford, Jim Carrey, and Kanye West, to name but a few.
Not only that, but the Blu-ray version of the film has the added bonus of including an entirely different take on the film, the re-released Alternate Version, featuring 763 new jokes! Absolutely amazing.
Director Adam McKay has a long-standing proven track record in the comedy genre, but releasing two completely different cuts of the same movie both in theatres and on Blu-ray is a real testament to his comedic sensibilities. The jokes will never get old if you're watching them half as much, and when you've got more than seven hundred new ones at your disposal, the fun just keeps on coming.
