Never Laughed So Hard

Rating: 10/10 (7 November 2008)

I bought Anchorman on DVD with a large amount of scepticism. For one, a friend of mine with a notoriously bad taste for films had recommended it. But it was going cheap and i snapped it up.
Later that night i discovered just what a great film it is.
I'v never been a big fan of films like this but i laughed harder than i ever have before. Yes, all the characters may be clichés, and the jokes crude, but they are perfect for the film and no matter how many times you've heard them before they will make you explode with laughter again and again here.
I have to say that Steve Carell as Brick Tamland is outstandingly funny and even takes some of the spotlight off Ferrell.
I believe the 5-way News Network brawl to be one of the greatest comedy scenes i have ever seen, and there are so many other pieces in this film that just make you laugh out loud.
I recommend this film to anyone. Even if you wouldn't normally go for this type of film i would tell you to go out on a limb and buy it, it will blow away away in a cloud of laughter.
