I was so disappointed after the 1st viewing and didn't watch it again until today, its actually pretty good, the Harrison Ford scene alone was brilliant, the film just suffered massively from the sheer brilliance of the 1st film, the anticipation was too high but now it has all calmed down watch it again.

The jokes are not funny. Will Ferrell is stale. A waste of time. Unfortunately, it looks as though this script was written while smoking newly legalized weed and a parody of a parody is what this turned out to be. I find it very hard to believe the ratings on this movie and I am convinced, more than I have ever been before, that many ratings are simply a figment of marketing and that many movie viewers knee-jerk react to 'names' and slick advertising to approve of junk that under ordinary circumstances they would reject immediately. The Hollywood marketing machine has created a dud.

Although there are a few moments of laughter, most of the film felt as if it was improvised by actors who think a little too highly of themselves. They probably think that they are so funny that whatever comes out of the mouths just HAS to be funny.Kristen Wiig was totally unfunny...she did what seemed to be a SNL character, that, unfortunately, had not yet been fully developed.Steve Carell gibberish was worse that ever...I guess he felt that it would be hilarious if he really went over the top.Overall, it felt like this movie was thrown together without a real working script. They had a legitimate good idea (the theme of how real news reporting morphed into reporting about unimportant events) and decided to wing it during filming...and of course, since they feel they are such brilliant comedians, they believed they could pull it off!
