Although it's cringy and based on sexism, this movie is still pretty funny. The story follows a news anchor who does not agree with the recent introduction of a female anchor.All the other employees also disagree with this, but at the same time are so hungry for female attention that they all attempt to flirt with her. Ron manages to win this woman over, but it all turns south when he realises she is his competitor after she covers his shift when he doesn't turn up on time. This leads to petty arguments and escalates quite quickly into some truly ridiculous situations. I think the main thing this movie has going for it is actually how random it manages to be, rather than the plot itself. I'd definitely recommend it!

Not only did I not think I would like this movie, I didn't actually want to like it. So when I found myself laughing, I was trying to suppress it like I was laughing in the back of class, which only made it funnier of course. It falls down in lots of places, but it is funny and you will laugh.

Silly, childish comedies like 'Anchorman' are always divisive. There are a lot of people who hate these types of films, while for others they turn out to be real guilty pleasures. For this one, I'm the latter. 'Anchorman' did crack me up on more than one occasion and I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It's one of those that's just so stupid you must be dead inside if you don't crack a smile.The ridiculous plot and goofy characters mean that the laughs come thick and fast and, unlike a lot of other comedies of its kind, it never runs out of stupid situations and jokes. Will Ferrell was the sole reason I decided to give this movie a chance and he didn't disappoint, he was hilarious throughout as the anchor. For entertainment value, 'Anchorman' is great, but those who can bear silly humour and cheap gags should probably look elsewhere.

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...!
