Summary: Absurbly Funny
Review: Seeing the words: 'starring Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate' gave me the clue that I would be watching another golden performance from Ferrell himself. But I was still not prepared for how over-the-top and idiotic this film was.On the other hand, however, I laughed the better portion of my head off - and so did most of the audience. And, when you think about it, that's not a bad way to spend a good 90 minutes in a dark movie cinema, is it? The film tells the tale of Ron Burgundy, a vain, ridiculous, fictional San Diego television news personality in 1976 who's the #1 network news anchor in the local ratings and presumably based on 70s anchor Harold Green. A billboard says it all: 'If Ron Burgundy says it - it's true.' He leads a pompous, sexist group consisting of redneck alpha-male sportscaster Champ Kind, played by David Koechner, sleazy Geraldo Rivera-like ladies man in Brain Fantana, played by Paul Rudd, and moronic weatherman, Brick Tamland, played by Steve Carrell, who rebel against the station's manager, Ed Harkin (Fred Willard) when a beautiful woman, Veronica Corningstone, played by Christina Applegate is brought in for diversity's sake. Burgundy thinks diversity means an old, wooden Civil War ship, but soon falls for the blonde, curvacious former star of Married With Children head over heels. Unfortunately, a run-in with a burrito, Jack Black on a motorcycle and Burgundy's pet pooch on the Coronado Bridge changes the newsman's life - for the worst (which results on a great scene). With Corningstone's star on the rise and Burgundy in decline, he falls into a three-month drunken stupor (on milk, no less) before an opportunity comes along to change his fortunes. Like his previous turns in Old School and Elf, as well as most of his characters on Saturday Night Live, Ferrell is as hilarious in his addled simplicity and gives a very good comedic performance capturing the misogyny and ignorance of many 1970s male chauvinist pseudo-celebrities, especially those who populated local TV and radio stations before cable came along. The silliness of the wild leisure suits, white shoes, overstarched hair, sideburns and mustaches is only matched by the gang fight scene in which Burgundy's group goes up against the likes of other newsmen, including Vince Vaughn, Luke Wilson, Ben Stiller and, of all people, Tim Robbins. Though it sweetly preaches acceptance and equality, McKay's scattershot comedy is primarily founded on the premise that there's nothing funnier than dialogue strewn with ludicrously illogical lines, such as Burgundy, grief stricken over the sudden murder of his beloved Spanish-speaking dog Baxter (who he refers to as "a miniature Buddha covered in hair"), screaming to his friend from a phone booth, "I'm in a glass case of emotion!" Carell's brain-dead Brick randomly exclaims about women "I read somewhere that their menstruation attracts bears!" and Burgundy's vain crew engages in a weapon-filled rumble with Vince Vaughn's competing, second-rated local broadcast team in which the only rule is "No touching of the hair or face." Anchorman's satiric skewering of the era's fashion, cheeky optimism, and sexism occasionally grows a bit stale, but it's hard to keep a straight face when somebody thinks San Diego means "a whale's vagina."

Summary: And I thought Dodgeball was bad! This takes the cake as BAD
Review: So I loved Elf, I love Will Ferrel and I loved Old School. But Anchorman was the biggest waste of time in my life! I wanted to burn the movie in the street after I wastched it. I can't believe I spent good money on this awful movie. Please Will stick to acting and do not attempt to write another worthless mind-numbing experience as this was!

Summary: Ron Burgandy gets tiring after awhile
Review: Will Ferrell (Old School, Elf), Paul Rudd (Wet Hot American Summer, The Cider House Rules), David Koechner (Bruce Almighty, Tv's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart), Christina Applegate (Tv's Married With Children, A View From The Top)and Fred Willard (Best In Show, How High) star in this movie about Legandary Anchorman Ron Burgandy. There are a lot of raunchy and disgusting things in this movie that really pull it down but it's main punch is those little clever jokes on the side. Examples are when Ferrell is talking to his dog. The anchormen brawl in the alley. All the anchorguys singing. If your a fan of Ferrell's then go see this, you wont be dissapointed. Actors who make guest cameos are the following: Luke Wilson (Old School, Alex and Emma), Vince Vaughn (Dodgeball,Swingers) , Jack Black (School Of Rock, High Fiedelity), Tim Robbins (Mystic River, The Truth About Charlie), Danny Trejo (Spy Kids, Once Upon A Time In Mexico) and for the love of god, this man should take a break from making movies, Ben Stiller (Dodgeball, Zoolander). im storming your castle my lady with my great steed (best line)
I think that's how it went but it was a funny one liner
