Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

Pure silliness, it was a Lot of fun.

I hate to admit, but I really enjoy this movie. Its so ridiculously absurd and funny.

I never get tired of watching this. I loved Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy

I thought Anchorman was one of Will Farrell's better movies. His acting is definitely a bit over the top, but it's a funny parody of a self absorbed TV personality. Also not to be missed is Steve Carrell's role as Brick Tamland. The "I love lamp," line really cracks me up.

Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is a man among men. He's got it all. Good looks, smooth moves, great suits, and the best job in the world as the number one lead Anchorman in San Diego. He even has his own entourage that consists of his fellow newsmen. Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) is the on-scene reporter, as well as a self-proclaimed ladies man. Champ Kind (David Koechner) is the sports analyst and almost a `much too close' friend of Ron's. Then there is Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) who is the weatherman and, well, lets just say `not so smart' guy of the group. They are kings of the news in San Diego, until a Veronica Cornerstone (Christina Applegate) shows up. As Veronica is trying to work her way into the camera lens, the boys are trying to keep her out. They are doing quite well, until one day when Ron has a freak accident, which lets Veronica have center stage.

The first time I saw this was with two of my best friends when I was driving through Texas and stopped for a few days of having fun in San Antonio. For most of the first half of the movie, I was barely laughing, and almost not enjoying the movie. And then about 35% to 50% into the movie, it clicked. I started to get the humor. And then the movie became hysterical. I was in tears on some parts. Now after the DVD came out, I even loved the movie more. From beginning to end, I find the whole movie hilarious. I honestly can understand why some might really hate this movie. The jokes can be very dumb at times. But once you find the humor in how the jokes are delivered, it becomes golden. The things I find myself laughing at the most are how the lines are delivered, or how some of the words are annunciated. The over the top acting also helps out a lot. It's just VERY silly. The improv lines are great also. When Ron and Veronica are smiling on camera and talking, the sound is muted for the audience in the movie while the credits role, but we as the viewers get to hear them hate on each other such as Ron saying "I'm going to hit you right in the baby maker, yep, right in the ovaries". The movie has a slew of cameos from some very funny actors as well. Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and even Seth Rogen (not a funny part at all really, but it's funny seeing him just be a plain old camera man with like 2 lines).

In the end, if you love this kind of silly comedy, then definitely own this. It never gets old.

P.S. - I own the double disk feature, and have yet to watch "the adventures of Ron Burgundy continue" feature yet. It's supposedly a ton of extra stuff they cut out from the movie. Enough to make a completely different movie. I fast forwarded through it enough to see there is like a bank heist and everything. So I'll give it a look-see sometime soon once I get the urge to watch some more Ron Burgundy. Then I'll just update my review with its review.

This is so bad I don't want to even waste time trashing it. It is moronic and juvenile. If you like this movie, you should be committed. I like Christina Applegate, but not enough to see this garbage. I'm also disappointed that a legitmate actor like Paul Rudd lowered himself to be in this bomb.

This is the best Will Ferrell Film Ever. The King of Kings. Beautiful. Brutally funny.

The commentary track for Anchorman is filled with the same brand of nonsense appreciated by fans of the film, it will have you rolling.

I finally got around to watching the film with commentary and it was a really fun ride. Rarely is the film itself discussed, instead questions about which cuss words/phrases will be "bleeped" out and random visits from unrelated celebrities fill the time.

The biggest laughs come from the visit of a "bitter" Dave Koechner who rants about how he was cut out of the film and wants to re-edit it himself since he is now reduced to selling shoes on the side of the road with his children. It was almost more enjoyable than the entire movie and literally had me crying.

Just a shout out to those who don't make full use of the special features that come with their DVDs check out this commentary for a very "unique" experience.

I got this as a birthday present for a friend, she mentioned it a couple months ago, before that I had never heard of "Wake Up, Ron Burgundy". The movie isn't really a sequel they just had a lot of extra footage and erroneous storylines that they edited together. That being said, WATCH THIS! Haha we're still quoting this movie. Buying this movie is worth it even if it's just for the bank robbery scene with Amy Poehler.

Ron Burgandy is a legend. There are a lot of famous cameos in this film too
