Funny, obscure and ridiculous comedy comes at you in spades as Ron Burgundy takes on New York in the 1980's. Juvenile and stupid, but it doesn't really matter as that is exactly what you would expect from anyone familiar with Director Adam McKay. The original was a sleeper and the real reason we have a sequel is because of on going fan requests, especially in Australia where Anchorman made massive box office then became a globally cult DVD. There are few comedies that go as quick fire as this, something outrageous is constantly happening, most jokes hit the mark, others spin off into awkwardness, a few do fall flat too, not everything works. Repeated viewings won't be kind. Perfect movie to watch after a few top shelf scotches, sporting salon perfected hair, wearing a new pastel suit or simply enjoying amongst a big appreciative cinema audience. The cameos are a highlight, some you will know, some you may not. Liam Neeson is awesome. Amazing Kristen Wiig is the best new character while Harrison Ford is in rare comic form.
