Dumb and overrated

Rating: 2/10 (8 May 2017)

Whereas Will Ferell can be funny at times, he completely misses the point in this absolutely below average comedy. Even the cameo appearances of respected actors like Tim Robbins or Ben Stiller cannot change what this movie really is: a dumb waste of time and a surprising lack of funny moments for a comedy.
The idea is that Ron Burgandy (Will Ferell), an ego-maniac who thinks he is a gift to all women, gets competition as the anchorman of a San Diego local news station. The competition is his lover, the charming Christina Applegate. Of course this starts a "hilarious" sequence of events.
To be honest, I do not even want to write a review for this movie. I cannot understand why some (even expert websites) call this a defining comedy or an instant classic. The only person out of the three cronies that Will Ferell hangs out with, who is even remotely funny is Steve Carell who plays the total, but sweet idiot Brick.
This movie is not funny, so dumb that it borders on offensive and just a complete waste of time. I would even recommend watching an action movie instead of this one...which means a lot as I hate action movies...!
