Review of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) by Harry W — 15 Jan 2013

There is no better way to give a consensus to Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy than to say that it's one of the greatest comedy films ever made that is funnier in 5 minutes than most comedies are in 2 hours.

Leading Anchorman is a hilarious and iconic role from Will Ferrell who creates such an awesome character that is one of the funniest in movie history and blends into the setting very well.

The entire cast is perfect, but the greatest support comes from a classic Steve Carell role that features expert timing and delivery solidifying him as one of the greatest comedic supporting actors of all time.

There's also hilarious support from Paul Rudd and David Koechner.

It even features Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen, Jack Black, Fred Willard and even Danny Trejo in smaller roles.

The screenplay is utterly hilarious and one of the all-time funniest that features so many iconic and memorable lines that ensure you watch Anchorman numerous times and still laugh repeatedly.

The level of improvisation in the film is excellent and makes it all the more creative as well as just so goddamn hilarious.

The plot is actually very fascinating in the way that it deals with the development of business diversity and captures the time really well with great costumes and makeup and is even edited to seem really 70's.

Lastly, Anchorman even features small elements of the spoof genre without ever actually becoming a spoof film which isn't all that easy to achieve.

Anchorman will leave you laughing and eager to see the film again very fast.
