You have incidents that didn’t live up to anything. Watching Anchorman 2 can be a distracting experience. I enjoyed this part – I laughed, especially when Ron didn’t understand the nature of “cruise control” in his RV.Īfter that reunion, the rest of the film falls apart spectacularly. Down and out, Ron is then recruited to headline a brand new 24-hour news channel and feeling inspired he gets the gang back together – Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), Champ Kind (David Koechner) and Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd). Veronica then gets offered a top anchor position whereas Ron is fired which in effect puts a strain on their relationship. Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) live the high life with their son in New York. It felt pointless, primarily guilty of having too many jokes for the sake of it. Honest to God – that is a hard task in itself! So many plotlines going off in a tangent that the plot felt forced and disconnected, not sure of what it wanted to achieve. Right about now I would be summarising the plot. The same thing repeatedly happens and suddenly that laughter turns into outright pain. I wanted to laugh but just like my opening statement – you get kicked once, you laugh. Scenarios were dreamt up but nothing actually scripted. Watching Anchorman 2 was like watching a two-hour improv joke that ran nowhere. I’m pretty certain that I watched the extended version and what I watched was very dull. Maybe I’m one of those people who found it surprising that a sequel was announced but you do what you normally do – you roll with it. It certainly had its moments, developing a cult-like status amongst its fans. Talk about a film that repeatedly kicks you in the (female) balls just to make you laugh…
