I almost didn't make it past the first five minutes of Anchorman 2. It wound up being mildly interesting to watch, but it's not that funny, and most of the time it's just disturbingly bizarre.
I liked Anchorman, and Roeper said Anchorman 2 was funny,
so I watched it. I almost didn't make it past the first five minutes. It wasn't
funny in the slightest, and Will Ferrell looks weird these days. This was the
first movie I've seen him in since someone pointed out how jacked his bottom
teeth are. I never noticed them before, but it's like the arrow in the FedEx
logo - once you see it, it's all you can see. Everything was just over the top
and bizarre and off-putting.
I thought it might get better once the other members of
the news team appeared, and it did a little, but overall the movie only made it
to about 50% funny. The first one must have been better, but I don't remember
it well enough to know for sure.
