Commenting strictly on the Bonus DVD, "Wake Up Ron Burgundy", I must say that my expectations were far surpassed. I was expecting a bonus disc of deleted and extended scenes, cast notes, etc... I had no idea they had filmed enough footage to cut another movie together. I loved the original Anchorman movie, so I was pretty excited to see this "bonus movie".
"Wake Up Ron Burgundy" contains some scenes that could easily have been used in the original movie. There is some hilarious material to be discovered on this disc. The DVD also contains Rehearsal footage, Ron Burgundy's award acceptance speeches, MTV Movie Award interviews and even some skits they seemed to film for no other reason than their own amusement. This is great material to have if you like the "Channel 4 News Team", as they are truly permitted to run wild in these bonus features. I have not been able to find this DVD offered on its own and I'm assuming it is of limited quantity, so get it while you can...
As far as I know, the only way to get it is to purchase it in the bundle with the original. I actually had to buy the movie again when I found out there was another DVD to be seen. The original had left me with countless lines to quote and so many scenes I found myself rewinding over and over again that I decided to splurge and get the bonus disc along with another original copy.
If you enjoyed Ron, Champ, Brian & Brick in Anchorman, you will definitely enjoy this movie.

This movie is great. Will Ferrell is one of the funniest actors out there. I don't know what some of these people are talking about saying it's so bad. I think that rather than being aimed at people with low intelligence levels, (being a 4.0 student myself) that it is aimed at people with a sense of humor. By the way Jeff Willis, it's spelled amoeba not "ameba." Oh and yes we can really see the intelligence in the review titled "AAAAAAAAAAWWWFFFFFFUUUUUUUULLLLL," Where we basically have the sentence "Will is not funny" repeated 5 times. Plus we see the well developed vocabulary when the self proclaimed "movie master" (Nerd alert!) says Ferrell is "so F*ckin lame." So to all of you out there, if you're looking for a good flick and a lot of laughs then check this one out. With one of the greatest Saturday Night Live veterans out there, plus cameos from an all-star lineup including Jack Black, Luke Wilson, and Ben Stiller, You won't be disappointed if you're looking for good old fashioned comedy . This one's a keeper. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to feed my pet amoeba.

There seems to be some people who really love this movie, and some who just detest it.
When this movie was in theaters I went to see it wth two of my friends. I was expecting a pretty funny movie, knowing that Will Farrell was in it. Man, was I disappionted. It seemed terrible, and both my friends hated it too. We walked out of the theater in the middle, I had never done that before and haven't since. It seemed so dumb with no real point.
Then almost a year later, I was at my friends house (one of the ones I saw the movie with) and she was telling me how it was actually funny. I didn't really believe her, but we watched it anyways. Seeing it the second time, I couldn't believe how funny it was and how much I was laughing. Now I find myself constantly quoting the one-liners from the film.
The only explanations I have are that the un-rated version makes the movie or that you just have to really be in the mood to watch it. If you saw it once and didn't like it, watch it again and give it another shot, you'll probably be glad you did. Hope this helped someone.
