Pros: Ferrell, Willard, and Carell are the standouts of this cast Cons: More comedy than fact
In the 1970s, most local TV networks did their evening newscasts in one similar fashion - all the on-air reporters were men. In "Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy," we also learn the men who reported the news were a fierce fraternity. In San Diego, ...
Pros: A few good one- liners; Some cameo appearances by big name stars Cons: Weak humor throughout; Stupidity abounds
Many films have been made about newsrooms across America. "Network" is one such movie. Another is "Broadcast News". These and other movies like them took a more serious look at the evening news and what goes on when the cameras are not rolling. ...
Pros: Ferrell, cameos Cons: not funny, boring, awful characters
In comedy, there is such a thing as good stupid. Dude, Where’s My Car? was certainly a stupid movie featuring stupid characters, but at least it made me laugh. It doesn’t take much to make me chuckle, but I think I laughed approximately five times ...
Pros: Will Ferrell, bizarre sense of humor, Steve Carrell, Fred Willard, celebrity cameos Cons: A bit too disjointed, some scenes just don't seem to work, even comedically.
It is rather funny to me to read critics who trash Will Ferrell's latest film, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgandy. The more out of touch among them seem rather appalled that the film's plot is rather flimsy, that it's characters are ...
Pros: hilarious satire of local TV news, with great performances Cons: not everybody gets the exaggerations, or the satire
When I was a teenager, Mad Magazine shot its first film, Up the Academy, which was alright but nothing to write home about. No film would adequately capture the look and feel of a real Mad Magazine story until the release of Anchorman - The Legend of ...
Pros: Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) Cons: Simplistic (Somewhat Boring) Plot, Average Acting
"...And suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo...in other words Ron Burgundy was the balls." I really thought Will Ferrell lost some ground when he starred as a dorky human/elf in the holiday movie, Elf. I was really ...
Pros: I don't think my Dad behaved like this in the 70's! I hope not anyway... Cons: some of the plot somewhat unbelievable. "Afternoon Delight" video not shown during/after movie.
Wow. For what I'm pretty sure is maybe the second time since my 15-month old son's birth, I actually got to see a movie by myself yesterday! Hmm, an afternoon all to myself...what to do?? My husband had seen Anchorman - The Legend of Ron ...
Pros: Ferrell, Carrell, very funny movie, Ferrell Cons: Applegate, too silly at times
Will Farrell is great. How many SNL cast members have left the show and made it big besides some of the older stars like Bill Murray and Mike Myers? Cheri Oteri? Tim Meadows? Dana Carvey? They’ve all sucked since they left the show, but Will Ferrell hasn’ ...
Pros: very very funny moments, solid performances from the supporting cast, cameos Cons: it feels like a bad SNL sketch too much of the time
There was a time where I despised Will Ferrell and found him to be the most obnoxious and untalented man ever to be the main star in a movie. I watched Old School and just didn't find the movie funny. But he won me over in Elf, and ...
Pros: Will Ferrell; Paul Rudd; Christina Applegate; great cameos; very funny Cons: Exceptionally silly
How silly is ANCHORMAN, the new Will Ferrell comedy? So off the wall silly that when the former SNL-er's Ron Burgandy is fed the randy line "Take me to pleasure town" before some buns up and kneeling sex, his response is almost dead pan custom made, ...
Pros: funny, charming, Ferrell steals the show, surprising cameos Cons: over-reaches about half the time, a few jokes miss the mark
To take “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” seriously is to accept that on any given Sunday the rival crews from all the local news networks fight to the death in a warehouse backlot. To admit it’s just plain funny is appreciating Will Ferrell’s Ron ...
Pros: Dumb stuff that works. Cons: Dumb stuff that doesn't work.
Ever wondered what it would be like if 13 year olds ruled the world? You know, what if those jokers at the end of the lunch line, the guys who loved to talk about “milk, milk, lemonade”…what if they were transported to adult bodies with ...
Pros: Performances, improvised comedy Cons: Not much of a structure, humor might be too random for some
A majority of the star cast in Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, all have backgrounds in improv comedy. That being that three of it's co-stars and co-writer/director are all distinguised alumni of Chicago's Second City Comedy Troupe, the theater ...
Pros: Laugh out loud funny, fine cameos Cons: Not to everyones taste
"The following is based on actual events. Only the names, locations and events have been changed" With "a voice to make a Wolverine Purr and suits that make Sinatra look like a hobo", Ron Burgundy is at the very top of his profession. As lead anchor ...
Pros: Steve Carell, occasional laughs from Will Ferrell Cons: Poorly written, ill-conceived, and weakly played by everyone else in the cast
A completely unexplored topic in the most recent Will Ferrell vehicle Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy involves a San Diego news station’s motto: “If they say it, it’s the truth!” One would think that an otherwise intellectually defunct film ...
