Knights of Columbus

Rating: 7/10 (14 December 2013)

Anchorman is set in San Diego of the 1970s with Will Ferrell as television news anchor Ron Burgundy. It's an era of when men were men. Sexist, boys will be boys and even more sexist on top.
Burgundy is shallow and a dullard, his friends are worse with Steve Carell's Brick, the weather man having a blank space where his brain should be. Burgundy's dog is actually more intelligent than all of them put together.
The boys club is jolted when tough cookie Veronica Corningstone, played by Christina Applegate joins the news team and is aiming to be the sole news anchor and Ron's life goes on a downward spiral.
There is also the deadly rivalry between Ron and the other competing news teams resulting in a deadly fight between them. As always in a Will Ferrell comedy his friends make a cameo appearances. Here Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller and Luke Wilson turn up as the fighting news anchors. Even Tim Robbins drops by representing the face of Public Television.
The film is corny, there is flute playing, the Avengers theme, dogs having a chat with bears, some quotable lines, it is zany, mad and funny.
