Highly entertaining

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2005)

This is one of those movies where the writers, actors and director seem to assume that if they make it really dumb, you won't expect much.
The writing is dumb. The story is dumb. The acting is dumb. But they love it.
There are moments of great creativity.
Nevertheless, the movie does not sink to the level of annoying stupidity. It has some semblance of a story line, so it keeps your attention. In other words, it is bearable. If you plan to rent this movie, watch it now, because I doubt it will be on the shelves in a year or two.
However, when you get finished watching Anchorman, you feel like your brain is on novocaine. It is a bit like a cinematic lobotomy. If you watch it three times in a row, including extras, I suspect you might suffer permanent brain damage.
Watch at your own risk!
Addendum:
I've watched it five times, and must say that it does seem to get funnier the each time around. Perhaps I have been a bit unfair to this truly brilliant movie.
Now where did I misplace my brailn? It must be in there somewwhere?
