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.
