This is a great film starring the hilarious Will Ferrell who plays Ron Burgandy the manly news anchor broadcasting live from the 1970s San Diego. The film looks great and the recreation to a time gone by is incredibly accurate. Of course it is the performances that will have you in splits and everyone from Paul Rudd to Steve Carrell is outstanding, as is Christina Applegate. Will Ferrell however towers over everyone-this is his movie and Ron Burgandy is a character I know is bound to become legendary.

This was a funny movie. The satire wasn't very biting or anything but it's just a ridiculous comedy about ridiculous characters. One of the movies where Will Ferrell is the lead but doesn't annoy or "get old" to me, and the supporting cast is really great. The dog scene made me cough up my soda. Not much more to it than that and the story is simple but it was definitely funny which is all this movie needed to be. The sequel was very disappointing though.

The Anchorman is suppose to be silly and dumb but it seems there are quite a few giving low ratings due to being delicate and offended. Disregard them if you're a Will Ferrell fan and enjoy the absurdity.

Silly, childish comedies like 'Anchorman' are always divisive. There are a lot of people who hate these types of films, while for others they turn out to be real guilty pleasures. For this one, I'm the latter. 'Anchorman' did crack me up on more than one occasion and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It's one of those that's just so stupid you must be dead inside if you don't crack a smile.The ridiculous plot and goofy characters mean that the laughs come thick and fast and, unlike a lot of other comedies of its kind, it never runs out of stupid situations and jokes. Will Ferrell was the sole reason I decided to give this movie a chance and he didn't disappoint, he was hilarious throughout as the anchor. For entertainment value, 'Anchorman' is great, but those who can bear silly humour and cheap gags should probably look elsewhere.
