Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
(2013) By the hymen of Olivia Newton-John, I just don’t understand those who knock Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues as “a retread.” That’s like saying you don’t like sex because it “feels the same as the last time.” This time around, now the early 1980s, blowhard network anchor Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell, The Lego Movie) […]
