Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy - The Extended Cut

The film has a strange kind of humour but in general it is funny. Worth watching but don't expect too much

Often called a classic comedy, many people have written rave reviews about this film.......Why??? It is truly truly awfull, I hardly laughed at all, would not recommend this at all, such a shame as I absolutely love other Will Ferrell films and felt let down by this abomination....AVOID!!

I've often wondered what the appeal is with Judd Apatow comedies and especially the ones that star Will Ferrell. They normally bore the pants off of me. Now i know how they gained their reputation and that's because of the hilarious Anchorman - The legend of Ron Burgundy.

Even though this film had gained a sort of cult status I wasn't expecting to like this at all , yet i loved it.

It reminded me a little of the Aeroplane movies. It's the sort of comedy that you would have to watch two or three times just to catch all the jokes.

This film is full of subtle jokes surrounded by gags that are as subtle as a brick. Silly yes but also very funny.

Ferrell is good but he's not really the star . I love Steve Carell as the weatherman and Paul Rudd who plays Brian Fantana but the scene that will stick in my mind for a very long time is when they are in the news office and they all start singing ' Afternoon Delight' in acapalla . Absolute genius.

If you have not seen Anchorman before , you must.

the most grinding horrible film i have ever seen, i shall never see a will ferrell film ever again, i gave it 40 mins and turned it off.

Argh how did i last 40mins, i must have been really bored.

It's the early 1970s and the local anchorman is not only a source of news but a revered local hero. In San Diego, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), a moustachioed bachelor with a taste for scotch, unparalleled passion for the jazz flute, and a near-telepathic connection with his spirited mutt, Baxter, is that man. Rounding out Ron's testosterone-heavy news team are his close friends--cologne-obsessed man-on-the-street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), sports reporter Champ Kind (Dave Koechner), and mentally challenged weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell). Their male camaraderie is challenged, though, when producer Ed Harken (Fred Willard), pressured by changing times, brings the first female reporter, ambitious Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), to the team. Ron finds his chauvinistic ideals compromised further when he starts falling in love with her. Fuelled by Ferrell's singularly loopy persona, ANCHORMAN joins the long list of comedies which have successfully poked fun at the styles and mores of the '70s. Here, with Ferrell's script and Adam McKay's direction, the character of Ron Burgundy becomes a full-bodied comic creation whose possibilities for laughs aren't nearly exhausted by the end credits. The result is an often hilarious celebration of moustaches, wide neck-ties, alcohol abuse, and good, old-fashioned sexism. This is slap stick gone mad with a whose who of comedy films at the moment hamming it up in yet another Will Farrell project and while it is not roar out laugh comedy from beginning to end there are one or two moments and that is it.

There is a lot of talk in Hollywood as to weather another film will be made as the actors do but the studio are not so sure which is a shame because of all the comedy films Farrell has done this is one of his better films
