Best movie to quote EVER!!

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2011)

If you are a fan of Will Ferrell than you are in for a treat. Anchorman is Ferrell at his absolute best and absolute funniest.
Ferrell is Ron Burgundy; an Anchorman in the 70's who is enjoying his life on top of the pile. In an era plagued with feminism, Ron's manly news team are the celebrities of the news room, leaving other channels traipsing behind. These members of the cast are played by other popular current comedy actors in Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughan and Luke Wilson. We are also treated to a Tim Robbins cameo although this feels a tad out of place.
Ron's news team are put under threat with the appointment of Veronica Corningstone. A woman, yes a woman, hell bent on becoming the first female anchor. A feat she achieves when Ron is involved in an unfortunate burrito incident with Jack Black.
This sets up the tale of love and betrayal although done in a way that only makes fun of itself and the opposing characters. Not one area of this film takes itself seriously and it also pokes fun at the serious issues of chauvinistic work places and feminism of the late 70's.
It works because the cast perform brilliantly. Ferrell was made to be Ron Burgundy and he delivers all his lines, and I am sure most were improvised, with perfection. Carell is also ace as a dim witted weather reporter who has one of the lowest IQ's known to man and Paul Rudd plays a sports reporting ladies man who enjoys wearing the smell of panther, much to the dismay of others.
This film will have you in stitches. It had me laughing out loud on several occasions although there is a slight lull in the middle where the jokes start to run thin. I cannot blame the writers for struggling they did fit so many brilliant lines into one film. Lines that will have you and your mates imitating and giggling at over a beer down the pub. That though is the problem with this film.
This was not the first time I have seen this film. As a matter of fact I have seen it a few times and during the first time I shut it off. I found it stupid and moronic humour. That's where I thank my friends for reciting so many brilliant lines down the boozer. I was intrigued and that's what made it so funny when I finally heard them spoken from the horse's mouth.
I am telling you now, give this movie a chance. Watch it then watch it again and repeat the hilarious lines for your own amusement, they never tire. However, do not watch this expecting a good story. If you are a fan of Ferrell it is worth it, if you cannot stand him it is not. You will want to tear your eyes out. I didn't and, if you are like me you will never tire of hearing someone question their own name. I'm Ron Burgundy?
