Ferrell's weakest yet..

Rating: 7/10 (10 July 2004)

Sure this movie will make millions due to Ferrell's popularity, not to mention the fantastic trailers.. but I must say I was rather disappointed at how lame this movie is. So many moments felt like they were taken right off an Elementary School playground; the scene where Christina Applegate tells Ron Burgundy that he has bad hair is a perfect example. It just wasn't that funny.
Much of the humor was so lame that I found myself doing a "half-chuckle" because lines were so often not really funny, but mildly amusing at best. Make no mistake, there are few belly laugh's in this one.
Even if you're a die-hard Ferrell fan I would suggest you go see it as a matinee or wait for the DVD to rent. If you can't stand Ferrell, do yourself a favor and stay home.
4/10
