A legendary piece of film making
Indeed, comedy genius.
Have to say, I love Will Ferrell but I think Anchorman is way overrated.
I havnt watched it. But I dont like it already. Movies where will farrell has any more than a 20 minute total appearance havnt been that funny to me. Old school was good.
Need to be in the mood. When you are it's brilliant, nothing funnier.
honestly thought it was rubbish. turned it off after 30 minutes. give me bill murray any day of the week.
I enjoyed the film and laughed out loud in parts, however I don't think it's near as good as the hype.
I'm a bit like clarshack above me there, I'd sooner watch a Bill Murray film.

Anchorman was funny in parts, some of it was downright tripe as well though.
I bought it when it first came out on DVD and have watched it once, an average movie at best.
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
People know me.
I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Love it, one of my favourite quotes of all time
NOt a big fan of it and I like Ferrell, Blades of Glory and the Ballad of Ricky Bobby where far better.

How so?
the Godfather was legendary.
caddyshack is legendary.
Anchorman is humorous but if you look at say Dumb and dumber and kingpin Anchorman pales in comparison.

Thought Ballad of Ricky Bobby was poor in comparison to Anchorman and Blades of Glory.
Looking forward to Semi-Pro!!

Jesus, Blades of Glory was terrible and Ricky Bobby was watchable at best.
I think I watched 20 minutes of Anchorman once before turning it off. Awful stuff altogether. He's not bad in supporting cameos like in Starsky and Hutch or Wedding Crashers, but any film in which I've seen him in a lead role has been terrible.

Agree with that, other 2 considerably better. Anchorman is very watchable and has a few hilarious scenes but baffles me how a lot of people say it is the funniest film ever.
Thought this might interest you all. He talks about being in Longford recently. Its the Tuesday 19th show his interveiw starts at around 19 mins 20

Will feral is pure excretia - i refer people to "Talladega Nights' - anyone brave enough to stick their head up and say it was actually funny? thereby admitting they probably pissed themselves at the likes of scary movie 4 or american pie 3.
complete bollocks
Dreadfull film I gave it a chance but couldn't watch anymore than 30mins...
You want comedy then Zoolander is where its at..That tonight was awful imho
The Cable Guy is a very under rated film IMO. I thought it was brilliantly dark and funny.

exactly - it pisses me off what passes as "legendary" these days - shitty, cheap attempts at humour - blazin saddles is a "legendary" comedy
look at the cover of wanchorman - that says it all - tee hee hee, his trousers are round his ankles, giggle, snigger.....pure unadulterated f**kin dung
Have to agree with most of the comments about anchorman here. Didn't like it at all. There was so much hype about it, the first time I watched it I thought I had missed something or had fallen asleep through all the funny parts. I was convinced by everyone that it was supposed to be the funniest film in a long time but it was pure dirt. I would actually like to watch it again just confirm that it is crap but doubt if I would get the whole way through before turning it off.

I didn't like Cable Guy the first time I seen it, but the second time and everytime since (many times) I found it brilliant. Very under rated as you say Ziggy. I laughed my b*ll*x off at Tagadella nights which is funnier than Anchorman. I never liked any of those scary movie shows, I don't think I ever watched a full one.
I don't get the whole Anchorman phenomonen, although I do think it's quite funny in parts. The fight scene with all the news crews is gas. And I love the 'Go fcuk yourself San Diego' :D

Aye some bits were funny, "im a pretty big deal" and when he was playing the flute in the restaurant but it was hit and miss.

Anchorman is definitely funny I think but Blades of Glory was very good. Call me immature but I loved this line:
"Hey, Nancy Kerrigan - are you an official here? Cause you're officially giving me a boner." - hilarious!!
I dont get the fuss over Kingpin. A few funny bits, but nothing more. Anchorman was much better imo.
Talladega nights was funny in bits, Blades of Glory was a funny movie.
As far as all time classic comedies, I dont think anything touches Life of Brian.
Two words.
Blazing Saddles.
Stranger than fiction is a quality show
Had my first gander at Anchorman last night. Funny in parts (two tickets for the gun show) but no classic.

Turn over at the start of that scene.
Watched it.
Turned over at the end of it. :-\
Too old for a whole movie starring Will Ferrell
I see ads for a new one "Semi-Pro". In the clip he wrestles a bear.
Anyone seen it?
I think Ferrell is one of the funnier of the american comedy regulars. (Stiller/Sandler/Wilson etc)
I thought Elf was funny too.
A good yuletide, feel good movie.
Yeah, Elf was one of his funnier movies.

Semi Pro is hysterically funny at times, it is ten times the show anchorwan is. Highly reccommend it to all.
