Actors: Will Ferrell, Steve Carell
Director: Adam McKay
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is the It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad Mad World for our generation - get a bunch of the era's funniest people together in a movie that is supposed to be 'funny' but is not. The film's humor lies mostly in recognition - 'I recognize that cameo!' 'I recognize that joke - it's from the previous movie!' I guess I shouldn't've expected different. The film also decides that Steve Carell's character needed more lines and more time on screen. It's not like this film lacks inventiveness - some of its new bits are inspired, absurd comedy. It's just dragged down by all the other stuff. The Ron Burgundy character's obliviousness barely survived one film, but here it reaches tedium.
