My 30 Day Challenge this month is all about new movies. I challenged myself to watch 30 new-to-me movies. I'll be pulling primarily from my neverending Netflix queue but may always get to a movie or two in the theaters...

Trivia:

Marion Cotillard is drinking Laughing Clown Malt Liquor at the final brawl scene, a reference to Talladega Nights.
When the Winnebago is rolling, a bat can be seen flying near the window at one point, in reference to the bats served in Champ's restaurant.

Summary: With the 70s behind him, San Diego's top rated newsman, Ron Burgundy, returns to take New York's first 24-hour news channel by storm.

Review:

Overall I just wasn't excited about this one as the first movie. The scene in the winnebago is priceless and the final brawl is amazing. But other than that, I just didn't laugh a lot this time around. I mainly kept watching to see what stupid thing Brick would do next. He's the funny in the movie. I probably won't rewatch this one...

Best Bits:

Ron Burgundy: If you've got an ass like the North Star, wise men are gonna want to follow it.
Brick Tamland: I can always guess how many jelly beans are in a jelly bean jar, even if I'm wrong.
Ron Burgundy: Who the hell is Julius Caesar? You know I don't follow the NBA!
Ron Burgundy: Let's not down play the fact that that is Stonewall Jackson ghost right there.
