Tongue-In-Cheek Satire At Its Best. ♦ 78%

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2013)

Ron Burgundy & his team are one part of the frat pack that you can never forget about.
Parodying the 70s' flamboyant style of news-making, the film actually creates humor without getting slapstick involved or at least not taking it to the core. The dialogs are witty and thus, funny as heck: they ought to make you laugh. And furthermore, the seriousness with which the characters deliver their punchlines is some serious material.
Cast is brilliant and with a performance like that, I am more and more falling in love with them. Christina Applegate & Will Ferrell's chemistry looked amazing. Also, this film makes me list Steve Carell among other great comedians. Will Ferrell is already in, you see!
Cameos were refreshing and with a fine story-line, Anchorman is a must- watch for people who love movies. After all, it's one of the 500 greatest movies! Yeah!
BOTTOM LINE: Recommended! IT is a fun-filled watch which has satire, black humor & immense parody. 7.8 out of 10.
Can be watched with a typical Indian family? YES
