Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

USA 2004, 94 minutes
Dir. Adam McKay
Rating: [M]
Genres: Comedy

Topics: Period 1970s, Media.

Feat. Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Fred Willard, Vince Vaughn

Aroview: Comedian-of-the-moment Will Ferrell leads a team of sub-intelligent, chauvinistic TV news broadcasters in this satire of news media in the 70s, but finds little on which to anchor the comedy.

With the fashions more engaging than the script (co-written by Ferrell), this comes to rely on increasing silliness and improvised padding, all the while feeling like a concept in search of an idea.

2 stars (Good Try) Tries hard to show the behind the scenes of TV news broadcasting - as most of us are not privy to what goes on it is well worth a watch. ~Tubbs
