A legendary piece of film making

Indeed, comedy genius.

Have to say, I love Will Ferrell but I think Anchorman is way overrated.

Puckoon · February 21, 2008, 04:58:40 PM

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.
