Where is the rest?

Rating: 3/10 (9 July 2004)

I was disappointed by this film on many levels, but more annoying than anything else was the fact that it left out several of those funny little clips from the trailer. (what happened to the assassination attempt? Burgundy screaming "lets make a baby!"?) Anchorman falls flat after about twenty minutes, leaving you to ponder why you thought anything with Will Ferrell would be hilarious. Even cameos from Ben Stiller and Tim Robbins couldn't save this one. The only redeeming performance comes from Steve Carell of The Daily Show. Unfortunately for Ferrell fans, Carell nearly steals the show. Usually, I don't complain about movies I see at preview screenings because they're free. But this one really tempted me to walk out, something I almost never do. (see Jersey Girl)
Ferrell fans, stick to his "Best of" DVD from SNL.
