***Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy*** is a 2004 American satirical comedy film directed by Adam McKay in his directorial debut, produced by Judd Apatow, starring Will Ferrell, and written by McKay and Ferrell. The first installment in the *Anchorman* series, the film is a tongue-in-cheek take on the culture of the 1970s, particularly the new *Action News* format. It portrays a San Diego television station where Ferrell's title character clashes with his new female counterpart.

The film made $28.4 million in its opening weekend, and $90.6 million worldwide in its total theatrical run. It was met with generally positive reviews from critics upon release and is now widely regarded as one of the best comedy films of the 2000s. It was ranked at number 100 on Bravo's 100 funniest movies, number 6 on Time Out's top 100 comedy films of all time and 113 on Empire's 500 Greatest Movies of All Time. A companion film assembled from outtakes and abandoned subplots, titled *Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie*, was released straight-to-DVD in late 2004. A sequel, *Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues*, was released on December 18, 2013, with Paramount Pictures replacing DreamWorks Pictures as the distributor.

## Plot

Ron Burgundy is the famous anchorman for a local San Diego television station, fictional KVWN channel 4. He works alongside his friends, whom he had known since childhood, on the news team: lead field reporter Brian Fantana, sportscaster Champ Kind, and meteorologist Brick Tamland. Station director Ed Harken informs the team that they have retained their long-held status as the highest-rated news program in San Diego, leading them to throw a wild party, where Burgundy unsuccessfully attempts to pick up a beautiful blonde woman, Veronica Corningstone. Harken later informs the team that they have been forced to hire Corningstone. After a series of unsuccessful attempts by the team to seduce her, she finally relents and agrees to a "professional tour" of the city with Ron, culminating in a sexual relationship. Despite agreeing to keep the relationship discreet, Burgundy announces it on air.

After a dispute with a motorcyclist ends in Burgundy's dog Baxter being punted off the San Diego–Coronado Bridge, Burgundy is late to work. Corningstone fills in for him on-air, receiving higher ratings than Burgundy usually receives, and the couple breaks up when Burgundy bemoans her success. Corningstone is promoted to co-anchor, to the disgust of the team. The co-anchors become fierce rivals off-air while maintaining a phony cordiality on-air. Depressed, the team (barring Corningstone) decide to buy new suits, but Tamland, who was leading the way, gets them lost in a shady part of town. Confronted by main competitor Wes Mantooth and his news team, Burgundy challenges them to a fight. When several other news teams converge onsite, a full-on melee battle ensues, only to be broken up by police sirens that cause them to flee. Realizing that having a female co-anchor is straining their reputation, Burgundy gets in another heated argument with Veronica, and they get in a physical fight after she insults his hair.

One of Corningstone's co-workers informs her that Burgundy will read anything written on the teleprompter, so she sneaks into the station and changes the text in revenge. The next day, Burgundy (unaware of what he is saying) concludes the broadcast with "Go fuck yourself, San Diego!", instead of his signature closing line, "You stay classy, San Diego!", triggering an angry mob outside the studio and prompting Harken to fire Burgundy. Realizing she went too far, Corningstone attempts to apologize but Burgundy angrily dismisses her apology. Burgundy soon becomes unemployed, friendless, and heavily antagonized by the public while Veronica enjoys fame, although her male co-workers work with her grudgingly. Harken tells Kind, Tamland and Fantana that they are not allowed to talk to or do anything with Ron or else they will be fired as well.

Three months later, when a panda is about to give birth, every news team in San Diego rushes to the zoo to cover the story. In an attempt to sabotage her, a rival news anchor pushes Corningstone into a Kodiak bear enclosure. When Ed is unable to locate Veronica, he recruits and rehires Burgundy. Once at the zoo, Burgundy jumps in the bear pen to save Veronica, as the public watches helplessly. The news team then jump in to save Ron and Veronica. Just as a bear is about to attack, Baxter, who miraculously survived, intervenes and encourages the bear to spare them. As the group climbs out of the pit, Wes appears and holds the ladder over the bear pit, threatening to drop Ron back in, and says that deep down he has always hated him, but then admits to Ron that he also respects him and pulls Ron out to safety.

After Burgundy and Corningstone reconcile, it is shown that in years to come, Fantana becomes the host of a Fox reality show named *Intercourse Island*, Tamland is married with 11 children and is a top political adviser to George W. Bush, Kind is a commentator for the NFL before getting fired after being accused by Terry Bradshaw of sexual harassment, and Burgundy and Corningstone are co-anchors for the CNN-esque *World News Center*.

## Production

 File:Newseum - Anchorman Newsdesk (14428084408).jpg
While still at *Saturday Night Live*, Will Ferrell and Adam McKay began working on a script titled *August Blowout*, which Ferrell would later describe as "*Glengarry Glen Ross* meets a car dealership". Although the script was popular around Hollywood, the resulting movie never got made. One of the readers was Paul Thomas Anderson who offered to "shepherd" a script written by the pair. McKay has stated that the idea for the film that would become *Anchorman* came about after "Will saw an interview with a 70s anchorman, talking about how sexist they were. And it was that tone of voice he loved."

An early version of the script was a parody of the disaster film *Alive* with a group of news people, after Ron Burgundy crashes their plane, stranded in the wilderness trying to make their way back to civilization. A subplot would involve the characters trying to escape from a group of ninjastar wielding orangutans. Adam McKay stated that a version of the script originally included "a musical number with sharks". Anderson, who at the time was scheduled to produce the film was taken aback by the script's bizarre nature, so much so that afterwards he left production, although in retrospect he mentioned lightheartedly, "I blew *that* [opportunity]."

Even though *Anchorman* is set in San Diego, the real San Diego is only seen in brief aerial shots—modern shots which include numerous buildings in downtown San Diego which had not yet been built or opened during the 1970s.Template:Citation needed According to the official production notes and "making of" documentary (both included on the DVD), *Anchorman* was actually filmed in Los Angeles, Glendale, and Long Beach on sets which were made to look like San Diego during the 1970s.Template:Citation needed

The film initially centered around the reporters tracking down a clumsy yet elusive group of hippie bank robbers known as "The Alarm Clock". This version of the film was met with poor test audience results, and a significant portion of the film was re-written and re-shot to replace the Alarm Clock with the panda story that appeared in the final version. The original Alarm Clock version was re-edited, along with alternate takes of existing scenes and new narration, to form a separate direct-to-video film entitled *Wake Up, Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie*. It was released straight to DVD on December 28, 2004.

The physical appearance of the Ron Burgundy character may have been modeled after real-life news anchorman Harold Greene, who worked at KCST-TV and KGTV in San Diego during the mid-1970s and early 1980s. Prior to the release of the 2013 sequel to *Anchorman* retired news anchor Mort Crim, best known for his work at KYW-TV in Philadelphia and WDIV in Detroit, claimed that he was chosen by Ferrell as the inspiration for Ron Burgundy.

Among Crim's colleagues during his time in Philadelphia was Jessica Savitch, who would later go on to a prominent role at NBC News. Savitch served as a model for the character of Veronica Corningstone, played by Christina Applegate.

Although he does not appear in the final film, John C. Reilly attended an early read through and impressed Ferrell so much that a part in *Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby* was developed for him; he would later appear in the 2013 sequel.

Ferrell and McKay recorded an audio commentary for the film's home release which consists of random, mostly facetious discussions of no relevance to the film or its production.

### Music

The film's musical score was composed by Alex Wurman. A soundtrack album compiling the songs used in the film was released on July 9, 2004. The "jazz flute" solo heard in the film is played by Katisse Buckingham, a Los Angeles-based studio musician.

### Critical response

*Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy* received generally positive reviews from critics. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 66% based on 202 reviews, with an average rating of 6.30/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "Filled with inspired silliness and quotable lines, *Anchorman* isn't the most consistent comedy in the world, but Will Ferrell's buffoonish central performance helps keep this portrait of a clueless newsman from going off the rails." Another review aggregation website, Metacritic, assigned a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 38 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
The film is now considered by many to be one of the best comedy films of the 2000s. *Empire* magazine ranked Ron Burgundy #26 in their "The 100 Greatest Movie Characters" poll. *Empire* also ranked *Anchorman* at number 113 in their poll of the 500 Greatest Films Ever. *Entertainment Weekly* ranked Burgundy #40 in their "The 100 Greatest Characters of the Last 20 Years" poll and Ferrell said, "He is my favorite character I've played, if I have to choose one ... Looking back, that makes it the most satisfying thing I've ever done". He also stated later on that he had no idea that the film would take off like it did, saying "We had no idea that certain lines would be quoted the way they are and that the film would just take on this life after it left theatres, but thank God it did."

Kirk Honeycutt of *The Hollywood Reporter* gave the film a positive review, saying "Proving that even infantile humor can be funny, *Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy* does make you laugh even if you hate yourself for doing so." Brian Lowry of *Variety* gave the film a positive review, saying "Ferrell has seized on a clever concept rife with possibilities – namely, women breaking the glass ceiling in male-dominated TV news during the '70s – and smartly surrounded himself with a topnotch cast." Manohla Dargis of the *Los Angeles Times* gave the film a positive review, saying "Tightly directed by newcomer Adam McKay, a former head writer on *Saturday Night Live* who cooked up the screenplay with Ferrell, *Anchorman* never reaches the sublime heights of that modern comedy classic *There's Something About Mary*. Big deal—it's a hoot nonetheless and the scaled-down aspirations seem smart". Claudia Puig of *USA Today* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "That he can make his anchorman chauvinistic, deluded and ridiculous but still manage to give him some humanity is testimony to Ferrell's comic talents". Owen Gleiberman of *Entertainment Weekly* gave the film a C+, saying "Yet for a comedy set during the formative era of happy-talk news, *Anchorman* doesn't do enough to tweak the on-camera phoniness of dum-dum local journalism". Peter Travers of *Rolling Stone* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "If you sense the presence of recycled jokes from *Animal House* onward, you'd be right. But you'd be wrong to discount the comic rapport Ferrell has with his cohorts, notably the priceless Fred Willard as the harried station manager". Roger Ebert of the *Chicago Sun-Times* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "Most of the time... *Anchorman* works, and a lot of the time it's very funny".

James Berardinelli of *ReelViews* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "Ferrell carries the movie on his broad shoulders, nailing the character perfectly." Michael Wilmington of the *Chicago Tribune* gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "It's a cute, silly, likable movie without much weight or intensity, but it's also pretty funny." Ella Taylor of *L.A. Weekly* gave the film a negative review, saying "It's a long string of heavy-footed sight and sound gags that must have seemed a stitch at the drawing board, but made me squirm in my seat." Bill Muller of *The Arizona Republic* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "For every gag that works, there's one that doesn't, and the story is too thin to keep us engaged otherwise." Terry Lawson of the *Detroit Free Press* gave the film two out of four stars, saying "Little more than an extended *Saturday Night Live* skit with better wigs, real locations and a script that sputters as soon as its one-joke premise is exhausted." Rene Rodriguez of the *Miami Herald* gave the film two out of four stars, saying "It's a flat, dull picture marked by sporadic flashes of ridiculous brilliance." A.O. Scott of *The New York Times* gave the film three out of five stars, saying "It is not as maniacally uninhibited as *Old School* or as dementedly lovable as *Elf*, but its cheerful dumbness is hard to resist." Stephen Cole of *The Globe and Mail* gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Knights of Columbus! Wouldn't it be great if TV-based comedians weren't afraid of making movies that were funnier than they are?" Geoff Pevere of the *Toronto Star* gave the film two out of five stars, saying "Like most of these sofa-spud comedies, *Anchorman* bears its attention-deficit disorder proudly, as it shifts tone and abruptly sidetracks."

Ty Burr of *The Boston Globe* gave the film two and a half stars out of four, saying "Sloppy, crude, pursuing the most far-flung tangents in hopes of a laugh, *Anchorman* still gave me more stupid giggles than I'd care to admit if I weren't paid to." Michael Booth of *The Denver Post* gave the film three and a half stars out of four, saying "Always affectionate toward its people, especially when they are at their most ridiculous, *Anchorman* meticulously builds America's dimmest news team. And we root for them." Jack Mathews of the *New York Daily News* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "As much credit as Ferrell deserves for keeping this nonsense from slipping off the screen, Applegate deserves as well." Megan Lehmann of the *New York Post* gave the film two out of four stars, saying "Ferrell is funny spouting his weird stream-of-consciousness rants, but too often the plot leaves him hanging and he resorts to just Yelling Really Loud." Jay Boyar of the *Orlando Sentinel* gave the film two out of five stars, saying "Most of it isn't even as funny as those supposedly humorous features that local news broadcasts sometimes end with." Joe Baltake of *The Sacramento Bee* gave the film three out of four stars, saying "There isn't a second that goes by without Ferrell filling it with some form of comic shtick – a well-turned punch line, a goofy facial expression, a pratfall or some other kind of physical comedy business." Moira MacDonald of *The Seattle Times* gave the film two out of four stars, saying "While the film is sporadically funny, it was done much better on the small screen, decades ago." Anna Smith of *Time Out* gave the film a positive review, saying "Takes a joke and runs with it – sometimes too far, but usually long enough to wear you down and force you to submit to its craziness."
