Idiotic

Rating: 2/10 (11 December 2005)

OK, I know it is only a parody of a newsroom, but it is like a typical Saturday Night Live skit that takes a mildly amusing premise and beats it to death. I often wonder, with some comedies, how the actors can be unaware that the movie is really not that funny. There were a few minor laughs, so it was not entirely a waste of time. The best part of the film was Ron Burgundy's dog, Baxter. He was, by far the most interesting character. Overall, the movie was good spirited. I watched it on a night when the temperature was close to zero degrees Fahrenheit and I didn't want to go outside. It was fine under those conditions, otherwise, there are lots of better things to do.
