Ferrell McKay and Aptow recapture the magic of the first Anchorman
Anchorman 2 was released nine years after the original. There were big questions whether Will Ferrell as Ron Burgandy and co-writer, Adam McKay as director and co-writer, and Judd Aptow as producer united once again could pull this off.<br /><br />The film focuses upon Burgandy trying to climb the ladder back up to the top, while Veronica flourishes. It also has some social commentary on current news as Burgandy makes a name for himself not reporting the hard news but trivia like car chases, the weather, home runs, and other such things on a 24 hours new network. Their producer Freddie Shapp played by Dylan Baker says they’re putting out total garbage but people love it and it gets the ratings.<br /><br />While that’s nice the heart of the story is comedy. Did Ferrell, McKay and Aptow recreate the magic? Yes they did. There are all kinds of hilarious situations such as when Burgandy is talking to his little son and tells him he’ll be nothing he wants to do be and has to aim low like being a light man in an adult movie where he can hold a flashlight while people “do things.” They re-create the news fight but this time there are far more teams such as ESPN, MTV, Entertainment News, and the History Network that brings along a minotaur and the ghost of Stonewall Jackson. Paul Rudd as Brian Fantana tries to tell Brick Tamland, Steve Carell, about which condom he should use. The last one Fantana said he wore 4 out of the 7 times he had illegitimate children. Burgandy asks him if that doesn’t defeat the purpose of wearing a condom. Fantana replies, “Nope.” The only time the film jumped the shark was when it introduced Doby the shark. Sorry for the pun, but it should have been chopped.<br /><br />Ferrell and McKay also continued their love of great oldies putting just the right song with the right scene.<br /><br />Overall, this was a very worthy sequel with tons of laughs.<br />C
