Summary: The Role Will Ferrell was Born to Play...
Review: Anchorman is the funniest film that I've seen in the past ten years. I haven't laughed as consistently or harder than I did at some of the lines from this film:
Champ: I will smash your face into a car windshield and then take your mother, Dorothy Mantooth, out for a nice seafood dinner and then never call her back!
Wes Mantooth: Dorothy Mantooth is a Saint!
or
Brick:"...Years later a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and that I am what people would call mentally retarded."
or
Ron: "You have an incredible heine...I mean that things good...I wanna be friends with it...Do you know who I am? I'm kind of a big deal...I'm known...I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mohogany."
Seriously, do not hesitate to buy this film it is hysterical. Ferrell does a great job as Ron Burgundy but his supporting cast is just as good. This will go down in the comedy annals as one of the greats. Highest Recommendation.

Summary: Funny comedy with Will Ferrell at his best
Review: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is a hilarious comedy with a great cast that shouldn't be missed. In early 1970's San Diego, anchorman, Ron Burgundy, and his news team are on top. The whole city loves them as they continue to hold the top spot in the ratings(Super duper!). However, just when everything seems to be going the right way, a female anchor/field reporter, Veronica Corningstone, is hired. Burgundy and his news team will stop at nothing to get rid of Corningstone so that the Channel 4 news office can return back to normal. Not everyone will enjoy this type of humor, but if you're a fan of Will Ferrell, you will love this movie. Plenty of off-the-wall humor, too many great lines to even mention, and some of the worst hairstyles you'll ever see. One particularly hilarious scene, with some great cameos, has Burgundy and Co. duking it out with all the other channel's news teams in a no-holds barred street fight. Not all the jokes work, but the ones that do are hysterical. Highly recommended comedy about a different time that will have you rolling around. Will Ferrell is hilarious as chauvinistic Channel 4 in San Diego anchorman, Ron Burgundy. His character, even when arrogant and cocky, is still likable. He fully embodies the man who reads from the teleprompter without thinking, which ends up getting him in trouble. Christina Applegate is also very good as co-anchor, Veronica Corningstone, who tries to survive in a male-dominated news office. The rest of the news team includes Paul Rudd as ladies man and field reporter, Brian Fantana, Steven Carell in a great part as weatherman, Brick Tambland, who has an IQ of 48, and David Koechner as sports anchor, Champ Kind. The always funny Fred Willard plays Ed Harken, the head of the news office. I won't say who the cameos are because it is so funny to see them in their parts, much of the time unexpectedly. I can't wait to see the DVD for Anchorman for all the deleted scenes, outtakes, and hopefully a lot more. Be forewarned, many of the scenes in the trailer airing on TV did not make it into the final cut, but the version shown is still great. For a hilarious movie with a great performance by Will Ferrell, check out Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Summary: It Smells Like Big Foots D**k
Review: Before I start this review I need to add that if you don't like dumb, stupid, and idiotic humor. Then you probably will not like this movie. This movie is filled with some of the dumbest (yet funniest) jokes i've ever heard. One involving "big foots d**k" is one of the funniest things i've heard in a long time. I like dumb humor, so I thought this movie was hilarious. I like Will Ferrell, "Elf", "Old School", "Starsky & Hutch".
He's a very funny guy. He stars in this movie as, well...Ron Burgundy. Ron is an anchorman in San Diego
(I'm From There, SAN DIEGO RULES!) who's very popular and rather sexist. So when Veronica (her last name escapes me) joins the news, Ron and his coworkers are not happy. But Ron does fall in love with her,
even though most of his pickup attempts are kind of lame. The end I need to add, is a little bit drawn out and that is why i'm only giving this movie 4 stars, but this quite literally has some of the funniest jokes. I really have appreciation for crude humor and I was laughing so hard, if I had low bladder control then I would be washing my pants as I was writing this review. B+.

Summary: "I'm in a glass case of emotion!!!"
Review: How could you not love this film? It has a 5 star cast! Will Ferril from old school, Christina Applegate from Married with Children, and special appearances by Ben Stiller, Vince Vaun, Jack Black, and Luke Wilson. The performances were hilarious and I couldn't stop laughing. As watching the film I noticed that there is other cast members from SNL in this film. Will Ferril plays Ron Burgundy so well. Will Ferril would have made a great anchorman for an actual T.V. These actors/actresses play there characters so well its hard to believe this is a movie. [the plot] Set in 1970s San Diego, this is the story of local TV anchorman Ron Burgundy (Ferrell), God's gift to the ladies and the area's most respected reader of the teleprompter of the news fit to be known, who finds his position challenged by an ambitious female newscaster Veronica Corningstone (Applegate) who, unlike Ron, actually knows something about journalism. Ron and Veronica then begin dating and fall in love. But when Ron couldn't make it on time for the news they needed a replacement, which was Veronica. Veronica nails it and Ron gets mad because he didn't really take her serious when she said she wanted to be an anchorwomen. Then it becomes a fued between the two. A hilarious film.
If you love Will Ferril you will not be disapointed by his performance in this film. He is funny through out the whole film and doesn't get annoying. If you love comedies, this film is definitley for you. A must see film!!!!

Summary: Terribly Disappointing - Not Funny at All
Review: I love Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell and all of the others in this movie. These are people who can be funny just standing around. On top of it all, it sounded like a great premise with plenty of opportunity for big laughs. Unfortunately, this movie produced no more than 3 mild chuckles from me. We watched every minute of the movie, including the bloopers just hoping for one actual laugh ... only to be completely denied. I am not a difficult person to please when it comes to comedy and I have to say it was the worst movie I have ever seen. DO NOT waste your money on buying this movie. If you insist on seeing it for yourself rent it or borrow it from a friend, but you will regret spending money on it.

Summary: review
Review: I loved this movie. I have seen the movie many times as well as own it. If you like the movie Dodgeball or Old School then this movie is right up your ally. I quote the movie often with my friends. There never seems to be a situation that can not be related to the movie. This movie also has many hilarious scenes in it. Will Farrell does a great job in his part of acting as Ron Burgundy. I've been watching this movie for some time now and in no way is that depressing. Anchorman is a must see movie and I strongly suggest that you go out and see the movie.

Summary: This couldn't have been worse
Review: I was sooo excited watching the previews for this movie. I thought that the anchorman character and Will Ferrell fit like a glove...Instead it fit like OJ's glove.
This movie stinks. The humor was left out along with, plot, style and basic entertainment. I cannot remember being so bored during a comedy movie, and especially during a movie with Will Ferrell. Usually all this guy has to do is talk and I'm smiling. Not the case in this movie.
I'm not going to get into the plot of this movie, because I don't think it would persuade anyone to watch the movie. That is also not my intent in writing this review. I want people to lower their expectations of this movie. Maybe that will give it a chance. I will admit, I had high expectations and I fell on my face with this one.
Ferrell fans..regardless of what I say, you will watch this movie.
Anyone else...rent "Elf" instead. At least that movie is good.

Summary: Painfully unfunny
Review: It's strange to see how other people thought this move was hilarious when I considered it a waste of time (and rental fee) to watch. I'd watch Will Farrell in Elf or on SNL and laugh out loud but this movie just didn't strike me as funny. To each their own I guess.

Summary: This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen.
Review: No, this is definitely the worst movie I have ever seen. I had high hopes for this movie, but I couldn't even get all the way thru it. One of the main characters, Brick:"...Years later a doctor will tell me that I have an I.Q. of 48 and that I am what people would call mentally retarded." Then the whole movie has this guy saying inappropriate things, and that's supposed to be comedy? I did not laugh once. NOT ONCE! Very disappointed.
