Review of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) by James C — 20 Jul 2013

When top rated anchorman Ron Burgundy is told that he is going to be co-hosting his news programme with a woman, things soon move from bad to worse.

There was a time not so long ago when Will Ferrell could do no wrong, and here we have probably the best movie he has ever made. The story is standard comedy material, but the way it is handled sets it out from the rest. The comedy is a mix of many different styles from the subtle to the bizarre to the hilarious, and even though are a couple of sequences that fall a little flat, a greater majority of this movie will have any viewer chuckling away. The cast all play their roles to the max and an extra mention must go to Steve Carell, who portrayal of Brick is one of the funniest things I have seen in a long time. All in all, this is a very funny movie, which is one of Will Ferrell's best, and a cult classic in the making.
