5.0 out of 5 stars
A land-mark in history, December 30, 2007
This review is from: Wake Up Ron Burgundy (DVD)
Right off the bat, I will say, if you don't or didn't enjoy Anchorman, don't see this. If you do have a soul however, this might be the greatest movie known to man. It has all the extremely funny humor of Anchorman, but it is 100% less popular. This means that unfunny people who quote movies all the time (like Napolean Dynomite) cannot and have not ruined this movie (like Napolean Dynomite). I personally think it is more funny and much more random than the first. In conclusion, this is (in my opinion) Will Ferrell's greatest and funniest film ever.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Feels like what it is, January 18, 2011
This review is from: Wake Up Ron Burgundy (DVD)
Dont get confused, this isnt a sequel to the movie "Anchorman" which was one of Will Farrell's best movies. All this movie is every deleted scene from the original movie put together like a movie.
Director Adam McKay has a habit of making enough deleted scenes with sub plots to make a full lengh movie.
In the original, there were 2 planned main plots, a Panda giving birth along and Veronica/Ron situation. Then there is the unused plot of a group of Bank thieves called the "Alarm Clock". There were a ton of deleted scenes to go along with the plot and some even cancelled out other scenes in the movie if they had gone with that plot.
It could have been a good movie, but the movie felt more like watching the deleted scenes. There were no transition into some scenes. Heck most of the scenes were deleted parts of a scene in the original.
The plot is told to be after the first and yet the scenes tell you otherwise...that its the same movie but with different scenes. Same plot as the original.
-Ron is the #1 anchor in San Diego
-Veronica starts as a small reporter and gets to do the news
-They hate and then love each other
-Ron does something to get fired and looks like a bum
-All this while a plot is going on
In the begining we learn Veronica is out of town at an award show as an anchor but really its deleted scenes setting up for her first appearance.
This movie had potental but it wasnt that all good. Watch it if you must
Pros:
-A somewhat new storyline
Cons:
-Actually felt like watching deleted scenes
-A lot of factoral errors, claiming some scenes happened much later then they actually are
-Basically its the same movie as the original but with different scenes
-Most of the scenes are deleted parts from the original
