It all seemed to add up to Anchorman 2 never being realized. Enter Ron Burgandy.

GRADE: B-
This movie is very similar to Dinner for Schmucks in that it is a comedy featuring a tag team of lead actors who together form the only soluble piece for the entire film.

I am going to try my hardest not to let my disdain for Wahlberg shine through in this review, but I cannot promise anything.
