Theater, Rent, No Thanks, Undecided? Rent. I am probably in the minority here when I say that the first Anchorman tickled my funny bone from time to time, but in no way shape or form did I find it to be the laugh out loud cinematic classic that everyone claimed it to be. Perhaps it was too overhyped. Perhaps I missed something. I’m due for a rewatch, for sure. But in any case, Anchorman 2 will definitely be a rental for me as I would rather put my money towards other films arriving in theaters soon. –LJF
Theater, Rent, No Thanks, Undecided? Theater. Great Odin’s beard! First, I can’t believe the comments my colleague made. Listen, everyone’s got their opinion and when it comes to comedy, people’s tastes vary wildly. For me, there are few movies I have laughed at harder than the original Anchorman. In fact, I still laugh at it to this day. Now, I know the sequel has the potential to disappoint, but I’m willing to take that risk and get back in the news van with Ron, Brick, Champ and Brian. The chemistry between these four alone can make up for any faults of the film…but I think the movie will be on the funnier Will Ferrell movies we’ve seen on quite some time. –BB
