"When in Rome..."

Rating: 6/10 (10 February 2006)

Anchorman goes for stupidity each time and it's pretty successful at it but not always. Some jokes here miss completely but overall the film works well. Will Ferrell is hilarious as Ron Burgundy, the world's most egocentric and overall stupid anchorman, hugely successful in the city of San Diego.
An eager-to-please supporting cast does well, alongside some very funny celebrity cameos (Ben Stiller very funny as a Spaniard, Tim Robbins in a very funny hairdo and more) but Anchorman cannot be considered as a first class comedy in my books, it simply has too many jokes that miss completely.
But when it's funny, it's funny.
