#NewOnNetflix – Pick of the Week: Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues

While not as good as the original (how could it be?) Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues is still well worth a watch or two. It’s nice to be back in the company of Ron Burgundy and the gang. It’s a solid premise for a newsroom movie with plenty of laughs even if some of the jokes misfire. Bridesmaid’s Kristen Wiig and Brick have especially enjoyable chemistry.

With the 70’s behind him, San Diego’s top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), returns to the news desk in “Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.” Also back for more are Ron’s co-anchor and wife, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), weather man Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), man on the street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner) – All of whom won’t make it easy to stay classy…while taking the nation’s first 24-hour news channel by storm.
