Apatow and Ferrell's best comedy

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2011)

I've often wondered what the appeal is with Judd Apatow comedies and especially the ones that star Will Ferrell. They normally bore the pants off of me. Now i know how they gained their reputation and that's because of the hilarious Anchorman - The legend of Ron Burgundy.
Even though this film had gained a sort of cult status I wasn't expecting to like this at all , yet i loved it. It reminded me a little of the Aeroplane movies. It's the sort of comedy that you would have to watch two or three times just to catch all the jokes. This film is full of subtle jokes surrounded by gags that are as subtle as a brick. Silly yes but also very funny.
Ferrell is good but he's not really the star . I love Steve Carell as the weatherman and Paul Rudd who plays Brian Fantana but the scene that will stick in my mind for a very long time is when they are in the news office and they all start singing " Afternoon Delight" in acapalla . Absolute genius.
If you have not seen Anchorman before , you must.
