Critics Consensus

It's just as uneven and loosely structured as the first Anchorman -- and while Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues may not be quite as quotable, it's nearly as funny as its predecessor.

It's older, fatter but as sublimely silly as ever, with ba-da-bing! timing and a finale of celebrity cameo craziness.

Rated: 4/5

Flavorwire

In their big, expensive, hyper-marketed Christmas studio movie, they're doing the same kind of Fox-mocking that Jon Stewart does every night.

Ferrell and McKay were so determined to tell new Burgundy jokes that they didn't appear to care what they were about or whether they were any good.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues might not be as quotable as its predecessor but the comedy is still a solid film in how it lampoons the world of cable news.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

It's either two hours of brilliance or two hours of torturous stupidity.

Funny in an outrageous way. It's a bit too long but the buffoonery level is high in a season where serious drama seems to be the ticket.

I loved the original movie and sometimes I think..."I wish they'd make Anchorman 2"....then after a pause, I realise that they did, and I'd watched it...and it was immediately forgettable. Maybe it's better for others, but I would have preferred what could have been instead of what happened.
