Will Farrell followed up his star-making vehicle Elf, which matched his fine-tuned comic obliviousness to a sweet sincerity, with a more arrogant variation on the same character: Ron Burgundy, a macho, narcissistic news anchor from the 1970s. Along with his news posse--roving reporter Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd, Clueless), sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner), and dim-bulb weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carell, Bruce Almighty)--Burgundy rules the roost in San Diego, fawned upon by groupies and supported by a weary producer (Fred Willard, Best In Show) who tolerates Burgundy's ego because of good ratings. But when Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate, View from the Top) arrives with ambitions to become an anchor herself, she threatens the male-dominated newsroom. Anchorman has plenty of funny material, but it's as if Farrell couldn't decide what he really wanted to mock, and so took smart-ass cracks at everything in sight. Still, there are moments of inspired delirium. --Bret Fetzer
Product Description
Will Ferrel (Old School Elf) is Ron Burgundy a top-rated 1970's San Diego anchorman who believes women have a place in the newsroom - as long as they stick to covering fashion shows or late-breaking cooking stories. So when ron is told he'll be working with a bright young newswoman (Christina Applegate) who's beautiful ambitious and smart enough to be more than eye candy it's not just a clash of two TV people with really great hair - it's war! Filled with wicked wit and slapstick humor Anchorman is the year's most wildly irreverent must-see comedy hit! System Requirements:Run Time: 98 minutes Genre: CHILDREN/FAMILY UPC: 097361314143

 A very long SNL September 14, 2008
If you are a fan of Christina Applegate, maybe it's worth watching. As usual, she is just astonishing. I also liked the 70's soundtrack. But that's it. Just sketches after sketches. The one where he plays the flute in a restaurant is too long and not funny. I don't know why people like Will Farrell's movies.
 AWESOME August 24, 2008
if you have any sense of humor at all, you'll like this movie. this movie consists of will ferrel, steve carrell, vince vaughn and luke wilson. if you like random comedy, such as talk about hand grenades, tridents and guys on fire, then watch this movie.
Funniest movie of all time! July 21, 2008
Absolutely the funniest movie ever made. You'll find yourself quoting lines over and over again. And if you don't know what "Sex Panther" is, you are a cultural illiterate.
 ONLY Will Ferrell movie I like July 13, 2008
I had caught this film on pay cable when it came on in 2005.
Surprised me I liked it.
At the time of release, it was original idea for a film I thought.
It is the ONLY Will Ferrell film I like where he is the lead character.
Now of course EVERY ear he does a similar film like all the sports films basketball, NASCAR & ice skating where this good Anchorman idea keeps being repeated.
The cast were perfect in their roles. Did NOT need Luke Wilson though. Unnecessary. And, I do NOT like the Wilson brothers.
Now, the DVD package it's.
I expected more since it is a "Unrated, Uncut, & Uncalled For!".
1. Has those HORRIBLE little flaps tat are a pain & terrible to have to open up.
2. NO chapter search list or any information on the film inside.
Good soundtrack for the film
 Good idea for a spoof, shallow script. Poor female lead. July 9, 2008

I wanted to like this film, I enjoy Will ferrell's work, but-----this film just doesn't cut it. Paul Rudd as the macho Geraldo like reporter is very good, (talking about how he was "in love") and Ron Burgendy says: "I don't think that's love." etc..... so there are some good moments in the movie. Christina Applegate was a big drag on the film for me. She did not have the sexual chrisma that shows up on camera. She's pretty enough, but she does not have what it takes for the big screen. All in all, now worth any more time.
