About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want loud, absurd comedy with a satirical swipe at modern news and don’t mind a sequel vibe; Not for you if you want fresh, tightly paced humor like Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
Pros: big laughs and quotable bits; sharp news-media satire; fun ensemble energy | Cons: uneven hit-or-miss jokes; feels long and meandering; rehashes earlier highlights
