Seriously, quite possibly, the most average movie I have ever seen. Talk about mailing it in, but in a 2013 sense. Adam McKay and Will Ferrell just decided to repeat every sight gag, every joke from the first film and make bigger.

I won't spoil who shows up (some familiar faces and some I wasn't expecting at all). But needless to say when the GNN crew faces off against the BBC, ESPN News, MTV news, …
