I avoided this film as long as I could, watching every dumb chick flick I could find to banish the hot hairiness of Ron Burgundy from my mind. But just like I can't keep Burt Reynolds' Cosmo bearskin rug pic off my fridge, I couldn't keep Ron out of my bedroom for long. He's everything he promises, and more. Some lines in "Anchorman" had me spitting up wine, but dang if I could remember them later. The love story was moving, the sidekicks hysterical, and the setting in San Diego -- airhead/moronic anchorman capital of the world -- is sheer genius. Perhaps we should be sending "Anchorman" instead of Bibles around the globe to bring the finest of our culture to benighted heathens everywhere.
Watch it and spit up.

If I watch a movie more then 3 times, I mark it down as a all time favorite. Anchorman is a movie I could watch over and over again. There are a lot of simple lines and humor that will be as everlasting as those in Dumb n Dumber, Happy Gilmore, Old School, Tommy Boy, etc... Lines like, "I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker." or "You have an absolutely breathtaking heinie. I mean, that thing is good. I want to be friends with it."

This movie was shot in a segmented style like that of a news program. It's kind of like a movie with many mini movies within. I like it that way because I can skip to my favorite parts.

I think this movie is great fun and very entertaining.

A lot of what people have said about this movie being rediculous and too far fetched are true, but who cares! This movie is hilarious and is perfect for anyone who likes Will Ferell type humor. This movie was leaps and bounds better than "Old School", and really let Will Ferell let loose and go nuts with the chracter Ron Burgandy. It's a shame that this film is not more popular. This is one of the best movies from the SNL alumni since Wayne's World. People who usually like movies like this will not be disappointed in the least.

Watching "Anchorman" made me laugh the hardest I've laughed since the first time I watched "Life of Brian". Will Ferrell is hilarious, that's a given, but his cohorts (Paul Rudd, David Koechner and especially Steve Carell) make it a grand slam. If Amazon allowed it, I would give this movie 6 stars.

An overall rating of 3 and 1/2 stars for "Anchorman" is, of course, a frigging travesty. But sadly, in a land where dreck like "Desperate Housewives" and "American Idol" is the top of the pop culture heap... well, let's just say I understand.

I can tolerate the majority of the GP not knowing good music from a dirty toilet, but reading bad reviews of this movie makes no sense. Anchorman is a hilarious film that only gets better with time. Tons of self-deprecating moments for Will Ferrell ala Meet The Parents (Gaylord), Ferris Bueller's Day Off (Roonie), Happy Gilmour (Shooter). Get a clue people. This is one of the great ones.
