Synopsis
The wait is over, America—Ron Burgundy is back and "funnier than ever!" (Liam Mayclem, CBS-TV). After losing his job to his
wife and co-anchor, Ron reassembles the news team and squares off against a new rival. Will the world's greatest anchorman
be crushed beneath the weight of his own ego (and his salon-quality hair)? Anything goes in the outrageous comedy that critics
are calling "one of the funniest movies of the year!" (Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times)
