“Anchorman 2: The legend Continues” review

Will Ferrell is back on the big screen as newsman Ron Burgundy, almost a decade after he first declared he was "kind of a big deal" and told San Diego to stay classy.
"Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" hits theaters on Wednesday, following a promotional blitz that included premieres, Dodge commercials, an exhibit at Washington's Newseum, the temporary renaming of a college's communications school and anchoring a real-life newscast in character.
So, how does the sequel compare to the endlessly-quotable "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy"? Critics have weighed in -- and the reviews are mostly positive, calling the film silly but fun. (As Burgundy himself once said, "Don't act like you're not impressed!")
Here's what some of them had to say:
"Making a sequel to a cherished cultural totem is no easy business, but director Adam McKay and his muse Will Ferrell keep things very classy in 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues,' a modestly less quotable but generously funny new adventure for scotch-and-mahogany-loving 1970s newsman Ron Burgundy, here catapulted into 1980 and the dawn of the 24-hour news cycle." -- Scott Foundas, Variety.
"It's a frequently amusing, occasionally hilarious, rarely unpleasant grab bag of mild mockery and inspired lunacy, decked out with cameos from beloved comic performers and random celebrities." -- A.O. Scott, The New York Times.
"The movie cleverly spoofs the 24-hour TV news cycle, as well as sexism and racism in the workplace. Not every scene is equally funny, of course, but most of the comic antics generate laughs." -- Claudia Puig, USA Today.
