What Genghis Khan did to Eurasia, Will Farrell does to the motion picture industry

Rating: 1/10 (16 March 2005)

First, the good news. This movie ranks right up there beside Plan Nine From Outer Space. I must admit, though, Plan Nine does tend to overshadow Anchorman quality-wise. Now for the bad news. This film is a textbook example of how to make a really, really bad movie. As an actor, comedic or otherwise, Will Farrell is an excellent example of....NOT! The only redeeming feature of this dismal failure is Christina Applegate's performance. Unfortunately, throwing herself on a live hand grenade would have been a better career move for her than agreeing to perform in this Will Farrell debacle. From the outset, I sat wondering when the "this-is-how-to-end-an-acting-career" trailer would end and the real movie would begin. I have never seen such horrid acting (and I use the term, acting, very loosely) from all of the major cast members. Usually when I buy a DVD and don't particularly care for the film, I either store it in an obscure area of my DVD rack or give it away. This is the first time I ever marched one out the door and deposited it in the trash can. Trust me...don't waste a moment of your time on this wet dog...your time is too valuable.
