Entertaining and Funny

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2014)

Will Ferrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell and Fred Willard at their finest. They have all been in funny shows in the past like Married with Children or The Office but this movie is one of the greatest collaborative comedy movies of the decade. Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn make great contributions to this comedy also.
A really enjoyable watch. Plenty of humour, characters are well developed and the spoof of the 1970's is really informative for someone who was not born in that era. I pretty much envisage the 70's as being like how the movie portrays it. Sexist, Crazy and oddly rhythmic.
I would say the movie does a much better job in portraying the 70's than Austin Powers does in portraying the 60's. While Austin is slapstick funny Anchorman is straightforward funny. It adds to the appeal of this movie that it does not rely on crass humour like other comedy films.
