Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (Unrated)

Another reviewer mentioned that Anchorman 2 is so bad you'll appreciate the first movie less. I oddly found myself agreeing. I loved the first Anchorman. The sequel is a baffling series of terrible improv edited together randomly. Watching it, I felt accosted on numerous fronts, never finding any stable ground to even give this movie the benefit of the doubt.

The beginning of the movie is brilliant, however as it goes on most humor falls short or is just boring. I feel that the story line following Steve Carell's character, Brick, was just put in to increase run time. It also goes on and the story shifts a lot, then at the end they try to recycle iconic scenes from the first movie, and those just get ruined in some way or other.

I never enjoyed the first, I'll say that out right. Anchorman is a "parody" on what's wrong in America, but instead of any sort of satire, the film displays everything hypocritically wrong in Hollywood. Vehement sexism, racism, and thoughtless humor are rampant in this movie. If you were heavily intoxicated, I could see how it might be mediocre.
