Anchorman 2

It was Jack Black.

We watched it again the other night. The first time we saw it we weren't that fussed with it, very over rated. This time, having seen alot more Will Ferrel films I found it funnier than the first time I saw it. But still can't help feeling that it is hugely over rated compared with some of his other films.

Old School, Taledega Nights, Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro are all far better and funnier films.

I'd place Anchor Man alongside Step Brothers.
 
You're entitled to your opinion - but your opinion is wrong. Talladega Nights, Blades of Glory and Semi-Pro are basically the same film set around an obscure sport with him playing somebody who shouldn't be good at that sport but is - with a daft haircut.

Whereas Anchorman is a superbly played tongue-in-cheek pisstake of exactly what 1970s TV news studios were like. The four news guys are beautifully performed by the four actors, and though each one is heavily exaggerated they make their parts believable because of the characteristics and mannerisms each one adRAB to his part. You can't call Ron Burgundy subtle - subtlety doesn't come into it in the same way that it comes into (say) a Christopher Guest movie - and there are some weak moments (the fighting between rival TV channels news gangs) - but it is very cleverly written and acted. The three sports films aren't.
 
An opinion that isn't based on facts, just a perception can't be wrong, you either agree or don't :D

I could just as easily say that you are wrong because the other films are funnier and over played characters is what you expect to see in FrienRAB, not a film. But I wont because it's just an opinion.

As for a sequel, if the first is anything to go by they'll ruin it by cramming in too many of their celeb mates. Which is what happened with Austin Powers.
 
amazing first one.

this has been known for a while, the other guy involved said a while ago they definately are going to do it but because it of schedules it may take 1 or 2 years before they even start
 
One of my most quoted films amongst me mates. And one of my frienRAB always dresses as ron burgundy at any fancy dress event (and sometimes without that excuse) it's helluva funny except we always end up drinking scotch all night and getting ungodly drunk. :D

Youre so wise baxter, like a miniature buddha all covered in hair.
