You pipe hittin' bitches don't need to go in expecting it to be as funny as the first. Also, if you don't like Ferrell's ridiculous humor, do not go see it. There will inevitably be people that post in this thread saying "Oh, I never understood the appeal of Ferrell." That's because you don't "get it."

--I enjoyed it because I knew what I was going in for. There's alot more Brick and alot more funny Brick. I, personally, thought Brick was the funniest part of the movie.

He ain't afraid of no ghost.

--I dislike Champ Kind in this one. I dislike him in the first one too. I always thought he never brought much to anything.

--I thought the scene at the light house with Paul Ruud was funny also.


--The fight scene. It was absolutely so ridiculous, you couldn't help but laugh.

-- The Canadian cameo in the fight scene had me rolling as well


7.5/10

This is one of my biggest pet peeves related to TV/movies. Just because someone doesn't like something, it doesn't mean they don't "get it". For shite's sake we're talking about Will Ferrell not dostoyevsky here. He has his own brand of humor that is fairly consistent in all his roles. Some people love it, some people don't care for it. But it's completely off base to claim people "don't get it" simply because they don't like it.

I think it was on par or better than the first one, especially the first hour and 15 mins.
I couldn't stop laughing the entire movie.

Friend went and saw it last night. They said it wasn't bad but it wasn't close to as good as the first.

I liked it better than the first, but I didn't see the original in theater. I like how they just could start with the jokes bc the setup was done in the first one.

The scene meeting the black chicks family was my favorite part by far.

Brick was better in this one, but that's not saying much bc I thought he was the worst part of original. He made me laugh a few times, but wasn't the highlight of the film for me.

I haven't seen Anchorman 3 yet but "Wake Up Ron Burgundy The Lost Movie" was WAY better than the stupid first Anchorman.

I liked it, Brick was a little over the top. It was what I thought it would be. 8/10.

I would say that it was good. But i do not know how much repeat value it would have in viewing over and over. Unlike the first where i can watch it over and over. Anyhow it was good. Not on par IMO with the first. Prob something someone could catch on DVD. Had some LOL funny parts. And some jokes that the crowd i was with in the theater did not laugh at all at. It would be hard though to top the original.

Just got back from seeing it. I honestly thought it was funnier than the first. The first hour of the movie was hilarious. The movie definitely dies down in the last act, but overall it was a lot better than I thought it would be.

That part had me in tears.

I got out of this movie about an hour ago and my sides still hurt from laughing. I was laughing almost the entire time.

This lived up to everything I was hoping for, and I was expecting to be somewhat disappointed going in. Definitely worth the wait of almost ten years.

If ridiculous humor isn't your thing, then you won't like it. As for some who said they were disappointed, I have a feeling that like with most Ferrell/McKay films, a couple viewings will turn your opinion of it around. This movie has it all.

The flipping van scene, the dinner, the battle scene, I literally couldn't take any more laughing by the time it ended. I loved it.
