Few good jokes, a lot of not that good, a very average comedy.

Rating: 6/10 (2 November 2005)

The first 30 minutes of the movie were so bad I almost stopped watching, but when Christina Applegate came on the screen I decided to continue (she's still a beauty). The movie got a little better eventually, Steve Carell as the weather reporter is great and the best character of the movie. Will Ferrel on the other hand sometimes acts so over it's just stupid, but most of the times he is OK. Many have complained about Christina's acting and her being boring, but that's just the way she was supposed to do the role, be serious, but Christina Applegate is without a doubt the most talented actor on the movie, everyone is just thinking about her on Married... With Children, but like the character on MWC, her character on Anchorman doesn't really let her show her talent. I really hope she will get some big leading roles after she's done with Sweet Charity on Broadway. It's an OK movie after the terrible start, just turn brain off and it will help you spend two hours, and of course if you're a Christina Applegate fan, it's (sadly) a rare chance to see Christina in a big role on a major movie.
