Comedy Film Review; Anchorman 2 the legend continues


Anchorman 2 the legend continues released in 2013 is the sequel to the hilarious first film anchorman. This film stars the original cast of Will Ferrell, Steve Carrel, Paul Rudd, David Koechner and Christina Appelgate and sees the cast in the same slapstick comedy as the first film. 

*SPOILER ALERT*
(if you haven't seen it yet sorry)

Anchorman 2 the legend continues follows Ron Burgundy and his fall from the top and triumphant return (basically the same plot as the first film). Throughout the audience learn more about Ron and veronica's relationship and see that their jobs come between them and their child. In the film Ron losses his job while Veronica becomes the top TV anchor. Of course this causes a massive clash between the two and Ron's ambition to be back on top. 

For me the film was a disappointed as many jokes were recycled from the first film and it followed the same plot with exceptions of a shark and Ron going blind. Although there are many great things introduced in this film as we find out more about Brick and how he deals with his feeling for a women which leads to their marriage ( the shark of course appears but I will overlook this).

The best scene in the film which had me laughing out loud was the fight scene. This is the one bit I wont spoil as it needs to be seen

Over all I give this film ***stars as it was disappointing to begin with but is still a good film to watch.
