Very funny -- but very stupid

Rating: 7/10 (19 July 2005)

If you're in the mood for just plain stupid humor, this is the movie for you!
Will Farrell brings his brand of earnest smarminess, along with the cheesiest mustache since Jim Carrey's in _Me, Myself, and Irene_, to his role as the eponymous Ron Burgundy.
The 70's is brought to hilarious life -- everyone smokes, the San Diego sky is clotted with smog, there is no such thing as "sexual harassment" as an issue - it's just a way of life. It's like the goofier side of _Boogie Nights_.
Recommended if you're tired of seriously good movies!
