I loved the original Anchorman and cut this some silly slack. Even so, this sequel just doesn't measure up to the first. It felt like just too much Burgundy. Maybe seeing more of the other News Team members would have helped. There really wasn't anything laugh out loud funny taking place at any point. It felt like I was watching certain scenes that were funnier in print then they were being acted out. The Anchor Battle II brawl is the perfect example of that. If I typed out exactly what happened it would read as wild and hilarious. Seeing it on screen, not so much. The cameos in the brawl are amazing. I have a feeling that each of those big names did what I mentioned. Liked the first film and read the scene that looked funny in the script. It's too bad it really didn't play out that way. I did like that they didn't care about being politically correct. They insult blind people and do some insane racial comedy... more power to them for that factor.
In the end, this film is crazed, over-the-top and thoroughly insane but not really That funny somehow.
