The sequel was almost as funny as the original, which is a cult-classic now. The infamous news team returns 10 years later in "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues". Steve Carell returns as the retarded weather man, "Brick Tamland". David Koechner plays the hilarious and possibly gay Sports News Caster, "Champ Kind". Paul Rudd reprises his role as field reporter, "Brian Fantana", and of course, Will Ferell brings back the legendary anchorman, "Ron Burgundy".
In the time that's past since the original movie, the news team has disbanded and all ended up doing different things. "Ron" is now married to "Veronica Corningstone", again played by Christina Applegate. They split up and "Ron" is now a suicidal drunk that works at Sea World San Diego. "Champ" owns a fried chicken franchise that actually serves fried bats instead... "Brick" thought he died.... and the infamous "Brian Fantana" made a good living photographing kittens.
Once the News Team reunites - the antics and crazy adventure starts immediately with a hilarious slow-motion RV crash showing all the guys bouncing around inside. Its a good comedy and very similar to the first one as expected. I don't understand why "Ron" going blind was relevant to the plot... it takes up a large portion of the movie and I don't understand why it's in the movie OR how an ice-skating fall can cause you to lose your sight..? Also, the pet shark thing was unnecessary for the story line of the movie.. I didn't get it. Other than that, it is a fantastic movie.
Burgundy is back! and in a big way. Fans of the original "Anchorman" will not be disappointed!
I give this sequel a 7/ 10
