"I'm im in a glass box of emotion!", Dec 15 2005
Let me start of by saying that those of you who think this movie is "childish", "immature" and "stupid" are 100% correct. But one thing you can not call this movie is unfunny. This is a work of art people! The immature, stupid gags are what make it funny! Sure PETA might nto enjoy watching a cocker spaniel being kicked over a bridge but the average guy from age 12 to 30 will love it. Yes this movie is nto for everyone but if you have a crazy, goofy sense of humour you will worship the ground Will Ferell walks on from the moment he screams "CANNONBALL" all the way until he finishes with "You Stay Classy...WORLD!". For those fo you who don't know this movie is about an anchorman named Ron Burgundy (will Ferrell) and his newscaster buddies who work at San Diego's number one news station. However thigns get shaken up once a new FEMALE (gasp) joins the crew and gets Ron fired. Hilarity ensues. Boo yeah. If your a teen or university student you will love this movie. 50 year old librarians....not so much.

Why don't you go bac to your home on Whore Island?, Dec 20 2009
I love this movie, and I hate stupid movies. You do need to see it more than once to like, several friends agree with me on this, too.
It's not boring at all, but funny, and filled with lines that are wonderful gems. One friend of mine walked out of the theatre watching this, but now she loves it. You have to be a bit patient, but it's worth it.

This movie must be seen more than once to appreciate., Aug 29 2005
This review is from: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Gift Set (Widescreen Unrated Edition and Wake Up, Ron Burgundy) [2 Discs] (DVD)
The title of my review says it all. The first time I saw this film I passed it off as childish and ridiculous. I thought Adam Sandler was over-the-top and childish, but Will Ferrell takes the cake. The jokes are very twisted in this film, but the storyline is well narrated and the characters are well developed. Ferrell did a decent number on this one.
Steve Carroll's character was one of the funniest. It was bizarre characters like Carroll's which made the movie so funny. Vince Vaughn did well in his role. Ben Stiller's appearance was most confusing, but the fighting scene is a riot (get it, haha? bad joke). I don't know how the movie could have been written or acted better. Maybe the dopey and immature Adam Sandler should take a hint from this film, grow up, and write something similar. Lately, Sandler's films have been stupid and trashy, but Will Ferrell has emerged onto the moviemaking scene and is now one of the U.S.'s fastest rising movie comedians. Two thumbs up, Ferrell. Keep the movies cranking.
