It was alright...

Rating: Null/10 (24 October 2007)

*Mild spoilers in this review*
Don't get me wrong, I love strange and silly humour. But there was just something about Anchorman- I'm not really sure what- that made it so unlikeable.
Though I'm not saying it was awful, it starts quite promisingly, but quickly spirals down into plain stupidity. I knew I wasn't going to enjoy the movie much anymore when it got to the fight scene. I'm sorry, but that was just way too bizarre and random. While there is nothing really wrong with being bizarre and random (actually, most of time I quite enjoy it), but Anchorman completely failed at this.
It reached its low at the zoo where the dog was talking to the bears. I was just staring at the television like... what the-?!
However, there are some brief moments of greatness- particularly a scene involving Jack Black, a dog and bridge. Unfortunately, these are fleeting and rather rare.
Anchorman isn't a completely horrible film, but it is severely overrated, awfully written and just not that funny.
Overall score: 5/10
