REVIEW:
First movie review of the year! Woot woot! 

I'm going to be honest here...I've only seen bits and pieces of the first movie, so I might have missed some of the references in this sequel. However...props to the creators of this film, because you can watch this without seeing the first film. I never felt loss or confused. Kuddos to them.

Well...it was certainly really, really funny. I had no idea where the storyline was going and it kept me on the edge of my seat. Not only did the film create laughter, but it made you interested in the characters and what was going to happen. Which can be hard to do with comedies. 

On my goodness...the ending was hilarious and extremely random. I can't say much without giving away major spoilers, but there were many, many cameos by people you would never expect to agree to do a Will Ferrell movie. hahaha. 

This movie certainly isn't going to win an Oscar, but it was a good movie. If you need some comedy (sometimes dirty) then I would recommend this film. If you haven't seen this first one, don't worry about it; its not necessary. Well....I will give this four stars. :) 

Re-Watch?:
Yup. hahaha

Favorite Character(s): Brian Fantana (any man who loves kitties is a man I can respect), Ron Burgundy (such an ass, but he was hilarious), and the shark (bahahaha classic)
Not-so Favorite Character(s): Mmmm...Freddie (he was annoying)
