Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy (2004)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Filled with inspired silliness and quotable lines, Anchorman isn't the most consistent comedy in the world, but Will Ferrell's buffoonish central performance helps keep this portrait of a clueless newsman from going off the rails.

Takes a joke and runs with it -- sometimes too far, but usually long enough to wear you down and force you to submit to its craziness.
Slaps a goofy smile on your face.
It has a pleasing, noodly elasticity about it -- the picture knows what its limits are and proceeds to boogie unself-consciously far outside them.
Wonderfully silly all the time.
You will laugh. Then you will laugh some more. Then you will laugh still again.
Like most of these sofa-spud comedies, Anchorman bears its attention-deficit disorder proudly, as it shifts tone and abruptly sidetracks.
Audience Reviews for Anchorman - The Legend Of Ron Burgundy
While it doesn't really have a well defined plot and feels more like a series of sketches, this turns out not to be a problem, since most of these isolated moments are pretty funny and the excellent cast (including some welcome cameos) nails it with their mostly improvised lines.
Super Reviewer
Boring. Can't say I made it through.
Super Reviewer
Starts well but falls apart in the middle, extremely patchy from that point on.
