This movie had only a few really good funny parts. There were parts in the movie that were hard to understand. I feel that the movie could have used more funny and less stupid. How dumb can you be and still... Full review

This is one of my favorite Will Ferrell films where he is funny as he always is. I like his character as a Anchorman who falls in love with a newswoman and later has a feud with her. I like the... Full review

Not many films have me laughing out loud these days, especially not throughout the majority of it! Anchorman solidly delivers that and more (including Steve Carrell spearing a man with a trident). With similar humour as Blades of Glory, Semi-Pro and... Full review

I don't see how this could be any better. Will Ferrell and Steve Carell make this movie perfect. I couldn't watch for five minutes without laughing. The story was pretty good too. Sure, it was really stupid, but that's what I... Full review

," about the film's supposed truthfulness, is by itself more clever and considerably funnier than almost anything in a comedy in quite some time.....The supporting cast is populated with scene-stealers, especially Carell and Willard.....But like the Farrelly brothers, these filmmakers mean no real malicious intent, and they exhibit genuine affection for their characters..... ...

It's hard for me to figure out which is the better comedy.....unless you're looking forward to the Wayans Brothers making fun of dance movies.....Frankly, until the summer of 2007, he was still a solid supporting player in the Apatow stable, alongside other great comic actors like Paul Rudd and John C. Reilly.....it's about the best type of cinematic laughs we have now.... ... Full Review

so one hilarious movie and two well, not as hilarious movies.
From what I can gather over on this side of the country, the show is more like a couple hours of semi-audience-interactive, semi-improvisational Bush-bashing character acting that is actually, well, very funny .

But Ferrell is better when reality begins to unravel: when the comic actor steers toward absurdism and the material goes a little, er, feral.
And Ferrell adds to the story a brilliant, bizarre kicker, one that triggers one of the biggest laughs of the night.

In "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," writer-star Will Ferrell and co-writer-director Adam McKay make fun of three subjects ripe for the comic slaughter: TV newscasting, male chauvinism and '70s fashions and hairstyles.
It's a cute, silly, likable movie without much weight or intensity, but it's also pretty funny.
