Incredibly silly and brilliant comedy.

Rating: 9/10 (4 March 2006)

In Anchorman, Will Ferrel stars as Ron Burgundy, San Diego's top TV news reporter. His show is top of the ratings, when a beautiful female broadcaster, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), joins the team and catches Ron's eye. Ron is smitten, but falling in love is only the beginning of his troubles.
The ridiculously puerile and downright immature humour on display will either repel you, or hook you completely, as it did me. But then I loved Zoolander and Dodgeball, equally daft movies which also had a healthy dose of the absurd running through their veins.
You can tell that the entire cast are having a blast getting paid for being stupid, and the fun is infectious (just try keeping a straight face when Ferrell plays Jazz flute). If you dig this kind of thing (and I pity you if you don't), you'll have a great time watching the film, and an even greater time afterwards quoting your favourite lines.
