About this movie

There was a time before cable when the local anchorman reigned supreme....Enter the hard-hitting world of the 1970s local TV news, where Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and his loyal Channel 3 New Team are San Diego's #1 rated news source. All is well in their male-dominated world of news until beautiful, rising-star reporter Veronica Corningstone turns it all upside down. Sparks don't just fly, they ignite an all-out war between the two perfectly coiffed anchorpersons. In a job where it pays to keep a straight face, Anchorman is the comedy that makes it almost impossible to stop laughing.

This took me by surprise at just how much it made me laugh. Most of the jokes took me unawares such as the fight that escalated quickly. Very little fell flat, which is incredibly rare.

... and I don't have that one, I'd give it 1 start but it gets a second because I finally had to laugh during the outtakes at the end.

The trailer contained nearly all the funny lines in the entire movie. In a word disappointing, had potential but ultimately failed.
