Anchorman 2
Anchorman 2 was recently released on Netflix, so I guess I had to eventually watch this sequel which I knew was sure to disappoint. Overall, it was a goofy movie and it gave you all the things you probably loved in the first movie, an insane Ron Burgundy, a ridiculous cast of characters, an arch nemesis in the form of Jack Lime (who Burgundy bets and wins so is forced to change his last name to "Lame"), and a plot line that at times doesn't really make coherent sense (Burgundy going blind and raising a pet shark), but you roll with it because hey, you're watching a movie about a 1970s anchorman. I feel like there were a lot more racist jokes in this movie compared to the first, because Burgundy's new boss is black, but then again I think the first movie was just more discriminatory against women. They even copied the epic fight scene from the first Anchorman with just as many star studded cameos, Will Smith, Liam Neeson, Jim Carrey, Sacha Baron Cohen, Harrison Ford, and even Vince Vaughn made a repeat appearance. I watched the super-sized version which honestly got a little too long at 143 minutes. Look, I'm not going to recommend this movie, but it's there and if you saw the first one, you may just find this one tolerable too.
