Watch Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy For Free

Best movie of this year hands down!

I love this movie so much

Too much of everything

The acting in this movie is really good.

Whereas Will Ferell can be funny at times, he completely misses the point in this absolutely below average comedy. Even the cameo appearances of respected actors like Tim Robbins or Ben Stiller cannot change what this movie really is: a dumb waste of time and a surprising lack of funny moments for a comedy.The idea is that Ron Burgandy (Will Ferell), an ego-maniac who thinks he is a gift to all women, gets competition as the anchorman of a San Diego local news station. The competition is his lover, the charming Christina Applegate. Of course this starts a "hilarious" sequence of events. To be honest, I do not even want to write a review for this movie. I cannot understand why some (even expert websites) call this a defining comedy or an instant classic. The only person out of the three cronies that Will Ferell hangs out with, who is even remotely funny is Steve Carell who plays the total, but sweet idiot Brick. This movie is not funny, so dumb that it borders on offensive and just a complete waste of time. I would even recommend watching an action movie instead of this one...which means a lot as I hate action movies...!

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy follows a news anchor called Ron Burgundy (as the title suggests) who is considered something of a celebrity, when a new female anchor shows up and tries to one-up him. The movie is hilariously over-the-top in most every aspect of it. The acting, for starters, is obviously fake but supposed to be. Basically the entire main cast (Will Ferrell, Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and Steve Carell) is completely over-the-top in their performances, but each one is kind of dumb in their own overdone way. It's hilarious and considering everyone is like this it's clear that that's the style the movie is going for, so it isn't distracting. The comedic aspect itself outside of the acting is fantastic. The movie is, again, way over-the-top. But it's a funny kind of over- the-top, where clearly everything is supposed to be taken with a grain of salt, or the characters are simply saying something so out there yet in character that you can't help but laugh. Overall Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is great fun to watch. Is it actually a great movie? Probably not, but I loved it all the same. It's absolutely hilarious, and that's what a comedy is supposed to be, isn't it? In the end I would definitely recommend this movie.

As much as I tried, I couldn't even make it through the first thirty minutes, and I can't recall that happening in a long, long time, so I don't know if it ever improved during the last hour. I doubt it. I admit that I rarely watch films produced in the twenty first century, and now I understand why. How did this total loser ever get a 7.2 rating from IMDb subscribers? The writing was inane and infantile. So was the pathetic attempt at comic acting. I have seen Steve Carrell in some funny roles, but this just wasn't one of them. This movie didn't make me laugh. It made me very sad. I don't know why I even punished myself by sitting through the first half hour. Shame on me.

This is just childish rambling with swearing. There's nothing funny about this movie, I find it actually quite sad. Just a bunch of idiots apparently mentally challenged trying to get in women's pants using techniques that would hardly work in a woman if you paid her. But in the movie, it actually does work!!! And it has a 7.2 rating in IMDb!!!! That's just incredible!I was having a bad day and needed a good laugh. Well... that backfired like a horse's kick right in the... you know where."This city was discovered by Germans in 1904 and they called it San Diago (Yes, DiAgo). Which of course, means a whale's vagina"(????!) In what planet is this funny? And I never EVER found Will Ferrel funny. He LOOKS funny, which is different. I laugh at him, not with him. He actually kind of grosses me out. Must be some kind of acquired taste that only works in America.
