Thought all the good parts were in the ads? Think again

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2004)

Going into Anchorman, I had a feeling that all the good lines were wasted in the trailer and the commercials.
Sorry to disappoint you, but much of the trailer was put together in a different order than the movie. Some of it was taken out of context (mini-spoiler: Ron Burgundy does NOT drink scotch on-air).
Two things stuck out in this movie: One scene with great cameos, and the unheralded character played by Steve Carell (The Daily Show).
Will Ferrell plays yet another character, and it's not as wacky as Mugatu, not as mischievous as Frank the Tank or as retarded as Elf. He's shown that he has a wide array of hilarious characters.
The fleet of Carell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, Christina Applegate, Fred Willard and Chris Parnell makes for a very silly comedy through and through.
Rating: I would pay $7.50 to see this movie at a theatre, and you should too.
