My kind of comedy!

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2004)

I like more mature comedies a lot! "About Schmidt", "Punch-Drunk Love", "The Player" etc etc etc But as much as I want to be a 'snob' film viewer but at the end of the day (cliche!) I keep coming back to the Ace Ventura's the Zoolander's and the ANCHORMAN's of the cinema world!
And why the hell not!?!?!?! This is just a really funny film to watch. Will Ferrell some how survived the comedy horror performances in "A Night at the Roxbury" and poor (admit it) cameos in "The Ladies Man" and the Austin Powers movies to a film career that the likes "Old School", "Elf" and now "Anchorman" has seen him become the biggest graduate of Saturday Night Live since Adam Sandler and Mike Myers.
The support cast in "Anchorman" are great with a good performance by Applegate and Burgundy's team of Rudd, Carell & Koechner are hilarious along with the great Fred Willard (Best in Show, A Mighty Wind)
But for me this film was made great because the legendary Tim Robbins & Vince Vaughn turned up along with the equally legendary Ben Stiller and friend of them all Luke Wilson! GENIUS!
Watch this film!
