Highly entertaining and highly funny comedy-silliness

Rating: 9/10 (13 May 2005)

ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY stars Will Ferrell, the a bit underrated comedian that's been fooling around on Saturday Night Live for a very long time before he several times has been showing up in Owen Wilson, Vince Caughn and Ben Stiller movies, the frat pack works about every time and this time it's Ferrell and Vaughn in the two leading roles, with Stiller showing up for some minutes.
ANCHORMAN is very, very funny and with the extremely entertaining character of Ron Burgundy that pops out with more coming quotes than surely the everyday comedian around. With brilliant use of dialog as in the love of his dog and several dumb, but in the same time smart use of dialog, as he shouts to Veronica Corningstone when she's in the room that they maybe shall have lunch together, it's so silly and so nice in the entertainment scale, that it can't do anything than work.
The co-workers of Will Ferrell on their anchorman-crew, is the weakest part of the movie together with Alicia Silverstone's Veronica. Champ isn't funny enough and way too intense and bothers the screen time after time, though Brian Fantana is okay but the pure dumb one, standing tall is extremely entertaining! ANCHORMAN hits the spot very many times, and with the Jack Black cameo as he kicks Ron's dog from the bridge, will there be followed by one of the funniest scenes of 2004, were Ron cries like a baby in the phone. ANCHORMAN is smart and dumb, and filled with great sequences that truly is top notch comedy work. Though it may not be the strongest made movie, it's just as entertaining and cool that it needs to be.
