 | If you like Will Ferrell you'll like this movie, the story or plot are not important it is just about screwball comedy. Honestly, that is all there is to it. |

| Alright. Where can I begin? Well, let's just say that Anchorman is probably the funniest movie to ever be shown on the big screen. From the moment we see Brick shoving mayo into a toaster to the special features (ESPN audition and all), I never stopped laughing. Anchorman is filled with non-stop, completely quotable lines ("You are so wise. You're like a miniature Buddah covered in hair"). True, it can be a little racy at points, but in the end, Anchorman is a winner. Look for amazing cameos by Luke Wilson and Ben Stiller! |
| Rating | | | Date | August 06, 2005 | | Summary | Half of it is funny, the other half needs editing...a lot of editing | Content
| When I saw the ads for this film, I expected it to be hillarious -- and some of it is. But the other half of the film is in sore need of editing. This IS the uncut version, so maybe the theatrical cut was more even, but this version has some scenes that just seem pointless. The beginning of the film contains a warning saying that this is the uncut version and contains nudity, but honestly, there's no nudity in this film, and in fact, I didn't understand what made this film "uncut" at all -- there wasn't anything racier in this that you wouldn't find in any other "R" rated comedy. The only thing "uncut" about this film seemed to be all of the pointless material that seemed like IT SHOULD have been cut!
Anyway, the film in a nutshell is as follows: Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his news team are the tops in town. It's the 70's, and TV news is an all-boys club -- until Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) comes to town.
There are 2 really funny scenes that make this film worth at least a rental. In one, Burgundy and his news team face off in what is essentially a gang fight with several other local news teams. This is followed by another very funny scene in which Burgundy and his news team sit around and discuss the fight that just took place. Especially funny is weatherman "Brick", played by that guy who plays the boss on NBC's trainwreck remake of BBC's "The Office". |
| Rating | | | Date | August 06, 2005 | | Summary | I love Lamp | Content
| This movie is awsom. It has the funiest people in it. It would probably be 1 star if it wasn't for Bric. He is halarios. "I love lamp". That is the funniest part of the movie. I'll agree with sum other reviewers that it is very stupid but thats what makes it funny. The guy that plays Bric is also the star of the 40 year old virgin. Is it a coincedence that he plays a loser in both movies or is he an actual loser in real life? I don't know, but what I do know is you simply need to buy this movie. It's the best there ever was. Will at his best. |
| Rating | | | Date | August 05, 2005 | | Summary | This is one of Will Farrell's greatest performances | Content
| Whoever says this film is junk is ignorant and doesn't know what good comedy is. This is one of Will Farrell's best roles and the cast he paired up with really made the film work. There were many corny one-liners in the movie, but they were FUNNY. I also loved the fact that this DVD also had a bunch of special features, they're also hilarious. |
