An impartial review: Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (11 July 2004)

To be brief, I love Will Ferrell's comedy, I love the stunts and cameos he's made as Ron Burgundy leading up to the release of this movie, and I very much enjoy what we all like to call "stupid funny" comedies. However, Anchorman was a total disappointment. It has two or three hilarious scenes and that is it. For the rest of the movie I was pinching myself to see if I was really awake or if it was just a bad dream. I can't believe Will Ferrell actually wrote this...I kinda refuse to believe that, actually. I'm not going to sit here and tell you to go or not to go watch it, I don't care, but I must tell you I don't really recommend it. Even if I hadn't had such high expectations for this movie, I'd still think it was bad.
