anchorman is ridiculously hilarious

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2005)

While watching Anchorman,I had to clutch my belly because of all the uproarious laughing I did.Don't get me wrong,it isn't high art,there's no plot or character development,but who cares?Anchorman is funny,in the spirit of the Naked Gun series and the hilarious comedies in the 60's and 70's like Police Academy and Airplane.It makes no sense,that's why it's so funny.And best of all,it's funny 100% of the time,and it NEVER takes itself too seriously,the problem with many comedies these days.Will Ferrell does a great job,playing a macho,super-pompous news anchorman (duh),the scene where he plays jazz flute is really funny.And Steve Carrell's portrayal of Brick TAmlin,the mentally disabled weatherman is unforgettable.A must see for comedy lovers everywhere!!
