One of Will Ferrell's best movies

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 2005)

Very funny portrayal of a self-consumed anchorman, Ron Burgundy, who thinks he's God's gift to the women. Everything is going super in Burgundy's life until Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) shows up, knocks him off his feet romantically, and then threatens his position and status at the station. Ferrell's experience on Saturday Night Live shines through as he's able to make the most out of just about every joke. Steve Carell is fantastic as the retarded weatherman. Even his simplest lines or facial expressions made us crack up hysterically. Applegate also does well and her controlled portrayal of Veronica plays very well against Ferrell's zaniness.
