Funny Comedy with a Good Story.

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2019)

Review:
'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy' is a comedy film directed by Adam McKay.
Adam McKay kills it in his directorial debut with Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. He really thrived bringing what could have been a very dumb SNL skit type of comedy and made it something more. There were no jokes that didn't hit, and it go all go all the time.
It's the 1970s, and San Diego super-sexist anchorman Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) is the top dog in local TV, but that's all about to change when ambitious reporter Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) arrives as a new employee at his station.
This is the first movie which brought Will Ferrell and Adam McKay together for brilliant comedic performances of both parts. Will Ferrell was unbelievably funny as the lead Ron Burgundy. As well as masterful comedic and quotable lines, and a once-in-a-lifetime legendary comedic cast with Steve Carrell, Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, David Koecher and Christina Applegate, great acting by everyone in the film for a comedy movie, every joke hit for me.
People still quote lines from this film today, well over a decade later, which is a pretty good indicator whether a film is good or not. It's childish, offensive & in many parts just straight up ridiculous, but there's no denying the genuine laughs this movie delivers. Many say this is where Will Ferrell peaked & they might just be right.
Overall, this movie has tons of laughs and it's very memorable. It Will Ferrell at his best being partnered up with Adam McKay. I can recommend this movie to anybody who loves a good, funny comedy movie.
4/5
