Can you guys just try to be a little funny?

Rating: Null/10 (14 April 2005)

Not real funny. I really don't have high expectations for recent cinema, but those low expectations weren't even met. I kept expecting to laugh, looking for the jokes, waiting for it ... but nothing. The only funny parts of the movie are the character of Brick Tamland (he just says random things, and I think they were all improvised) and the outtakes at the end. There is one laugh regarding a prank the female newscaster plays on Ron Burgundy, but that was mostly for the shock value than actual humor content. Oh, and there's a little dig at the Bush Administration at the end, but it was so unoriginal and unfunny as to almost be insulting. If you're just dying to see this movie, go find the trailer and watch it. The trailer has about all the kinda funny lines Ron Burgundy says in a convenient short form. It'll save you a few hours of boredom.
Give this one a pass.
