One of the funniest films I've seen in a long time

Rating: Null/10 (27 August 2004)

I see many people get all bent out of shape about Anchorman's lack of plot. The lack of plot is actually one of the aspects of the film that makes it hilarious since the plot is so ridiculous! Brick, the retarded weatherman, really steals the show ("Where did you get that suit? The toilet store?"). Will Ferrell once again plays his hysterical self as Ron Burgundy, a chauvinistic and silly anchorman who is wrapped up in himself. The sheer stupidity of the film had laughing so hard I was struggling for breath! The ridiculousness of the fight scene between all the rival anchormen (with a great cameo appearance from Ben Stiller) was one of the countless highlights of the film. I walked out of the theater with a smile and I cannot wait to see it come out on DVD!
Grade: A+
