Not as funny or good as its written out to be

Rating: 4/10 (10 September 2010)

I came across this film, and thought while watching it that it wasn't really funny or good. Many people (critics and fans) wrote positive reviews about his film saying that its really funny and Will Ferrell and the cast shine. Well, I strongly disagree. The film is not that bad but its not that good either. Its a very basic comedy starring Wil Ferll and the plot is pretty predictable and silly. First he's the lead anchorman, then Christina Applegate (Veronica Cornerstone) comes in the picture and all the workers try hitting on her. She then says she wants to be an anchorman also like Ron Burgundy. First they have little disputes then they eventually fall for each other. She ends up taking his job, he gets mad and gets fired fro cursing on the air. Something happens in the middle. The crew call Ron back when Veronica is somehow lost and he surprisingly comes back and does the news again. he covers it well, saves her and everything seems fine again. The comedy really isn't that funny, the jokes are just sexual and slapstick type humour. Their were some funny scenes but not enough throughout the entire film. As a rewatch 09.03.19' opinions remain same. Film isn't as funny and feels forced. Somewhat entertaining but not nearly as much as it has been praised to be.
