Great Comedy

Rating: 9/10 (5 August 2006)

From the first time I saw it I was definitely an Anchoman fan. I loved the characters even though the storyline was kind of typical. I thought that Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby was as funny or even funnier. This was the best comedy I've seen in a while. So many of the comedies that have come out lately have been flat for me. They start off well but fall short and many times have to resort to bathroom humor to survive and hold an audience. One of the reasons that made Anchormen work for me was that there were so many quotable lines. Talladega nights had more quotable lines in the first quarter than Anchorman had in the entire movie...for me at least. Also the storyline kept my attention around the humor. After Kicking and Screaming and Bewitched...Will needed a movie like this. It will most likely put him in the forefront again.
