Anchor Man 2-Double Your Fun
Anchor Man II is the type of absurd & silly comedy that you can't help but love even as you cringe or puzzle over the humor. Cut yourself slack & allow your self to laugh till you cry. Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrel) &Veronica Corningstone (Christine Applegate) reprise their roles as newscasters now married with and parents to an adorable & precocious boy. Life is bliss until Vernoica is offered the 1st female anchor spot on the news & Ron gets fired. Having given Veronica an ultimatum to choose between her job or marriage, Ron finds himself out of both his job & their home. Ron's dismal future gets boosted when he get's offered an anchor job in NYC with a news network, GNN, that will be the first to broadcast 24 hours of news. Ron gets to hire reporters for his segment (2:00-5:00AM) and assembles his old crew of friends: Paul Rudd, Steve Carrell and David Koechuer; today's answer to the Marks Brothers. Let the good times roll & the zaniness begin. Set in the early 80's, the clothes, music and fads are revisited with a warm-hearted wink to the decade. A love story of odd-balls perfect for each other, Carrell & Kristin Wig is hilarious. Mix in a cornucopia of today's most talented comedians & actors and the laughs just keep on coming. Anchor Man 2 is a comedy that doubles your pleasure, doubles your fun.
