Left wanting more

Rating: 6/10 (9 July 2004)

First off, don't get me wrong, I really like Will Ferrel, but this movie is lacking somewhere. When I heard about this movie I was really excited because the character seems to be one of those that Ferrel shines in. But after the credits rolled, the easter egg at the end had played, I got up from where I was sitting and thought that I'm glad i didn't pay full 7pm ticket prices. During the movie I found myself chuckling more than busting my gut, and when I saw the previews, I had it in my mind that I would be rolling on the floor with hilarity, it was a let down for me. I can link this movie with the that of Jack Black's School Of Rock, where I thought Jack Black was going to ROCK, but then I was taken into a world of intense energy, but not the comedy I had hoped from Black. Anchorman does have some good points, many of the ad-libs that Ferrel do are very very funny, I just wish the whole movie was that funny.
