Story in a few words
In Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, Ron Burgundy is back — and somehow still convinced he's the greatest newsman alive. This time, it's the 1980s, and the hair is bigger, the suits are louder, and the news is 24 hours a day?! When Ron and his equally clueless (but lovable) news team get recruited by the first 24 hour news network, they set out to revolutionize journalism, or at least yell loudly on camera while looking good in polyester. Expect dolphin fights, fried chicken introspection, and a whole lot of Burgundy bravado as the team fumbles their way through love, fame, and the idea that news should actually matter.
In my own words
It’s super silly, full of random moments that make no sense (on purpose), and it actually throws in some clever jabs at how modern news became more about entertainment than actual reporting. So yeah, it’s hilarious, ridiculous, and somehow manages to say something real — all while Ron Burgundy yells things like “By the beard of Zeus!”
Overall, it’s a film that knows exactly what it is: ridiculous, loud, quotable, and packed with weird cameos and even weirder plot twists. If you liked the first Anchorman, this one just gives you more of what you loved plus a whole new layer of 1980s madness.

For me, this was one of the funniest films I've watched in the last few years.
This was so good and funny that I'm gonna watch it again, and so should you, because the actors really delivered a phenomenal performance which makes the film so enjoyable to watch.

This film really shows the power of friendship and determination really well. Fun fact: the Director took inspiration from a real 24-hour news service from CNN, that's why the news channel is called GNN in the film.
I think my most favorite actor in the film was Steve Carell, I had quite a few laughs.
