Although it's cringy and based on sexism, this movie is still pretty funny. The story follows a news anchor who does not agree with the recent introduction of a female anchor.All the other employees also disagree with this, but at the same time are so hungry for female attention that they all attempt to flirt with her. Ron manages to win this woman over, but it all turns south when he realises she is his competitor after she covers his shift when he doesn't turn up on time. This leads to petty arguments and escalates quite quickly into some truly ridiculous situations. I think the main thing this movie has going for it is actually how random it manages to be, rather than the plot itself. I'd definitely recommend it!

Looking forward to find and watch this movie. 7.2/10 by public 63/100 by metacritic on IMDb.
3.6/5 by public and 68/100 on RottentomatoesOnce a wise man said: "None went bankrupted for understimating US viewers stupidity" (to say nothing of US voters...)
I live in old/rotten Italy (Europe). I must admit that as we Italians DO know how to make pizza, you US-of-Americans know how to make movies.
But I cannot understand how this lousy stupid script have had green light by producers, unless I suppose that investors are just like other people: stupid.This movie has grossed 90 mln over a budget of 26. During the first WE it covered the costs! I just can't believe it.
I like Will Ferrel. i loved Land of the Lost (2009) and Stranger Than Fiction (2006) but in THIS movie sincerely he looks stupid and not funny.
There is a thin line, you know, between demential and dement. This movie is by far in the dement, idiot, dummy cathegory. I don't know any teenager who can laugh at its gags. I don't know any adult either. People who gave this movie more than 5/10 can be dangerous, but people who gave it a 10/10 (13.1% of IMDb voters) is a phylosophical riddle: what the he** did they see? Is there a hidden version they watched instead of mine?It is not a matter of different tastes: this movie is really BAD. Just stay away from it.Hope this can help

Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron BurgundyYes, its an odd world, but hey it's their creation and they nail it pretty much and turns out its interesting and funny.

As much as I tried, I couldn't even make it through the first thirty minutes, and I can't recall that happening in a long, long time, so I don't know if it ever improved during the last hour. I doubt it. I admit that I rarely watch films produced in the twenty first century, and now I understand why. How did this total loser ever get a 7.2 rating from IMDb subscribers? The writing was inane and infantile. So was the pathetic attempt at comic acting. I have seen Steve Carrell in some funny roles, but this just wasn't one of them. This movie didn't make me laugh. It made me very sad. I don't know why I even punished myself by sitting through the first half hour. Shame on me.
