Review of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) by Francisco G — 03 Mar 2013

One of the most self-aware idiotic comedies of the last decade, Anchorman is riddled with excesses and always on the verge of derailing at any giving moment, but fortunently, there are more hits than misses and plenty of hilarious quotable scenes for everyone. The parking lot fighting scene and the aftermath always make me gigle uncontrollably on how silly and unexpected it is and that is where the true success of the movie resides, even when you think you heard a tasteless joke, something completly random and funny shows up right after.

It's a movie that tries to have a joke at every single turn, so if you're looking for some emotional resonance, you might want to step aside and let people fighting bears unsue.
