Rijndri Load of rubbish!!
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Maz-hell I have no idea what I have seen. Besides the meme potential this movie is a total zero. I smiled twice during this excuse for wasting time. Absolutely nothing worth of mention happens. Too bad the excellent cinemathography got wasted into this pile of stinking... something. Nothing happens followed by more nothingness happening.The concentration of stupidity gets so concentrated it was like watching a trainwreck... but you are in front of the trains while they collide. This movie is 'murica: Retarded, offensively retarded and holy shit how retarded can this movie get.Avoid this thing. Whatever it is.
rahultekk I am not a fan of Will Ferrel. I don't get an automatic urge to watch his movies unlike say, Steve Carrell, who incidentally also stars in this movie. With that being said I enjoyed this movie.It's about a vain, pompous newscaster who is brought down by the fates. It's a predictable fall from grace and rise again story which is made interesting by the delicious left turn it takes.Sample this, there is a sequence where two rival news teams get ready to face-off in a grudge match but the situation is escalated comically by the appearance of more and more teams each wishing to get in on the action. There are delicious cameos by many of Will Ferrel's friends and contemporaries all of whom seem to be having fun.Watch it for a mysoginistic clueless showboat being brought down a notch by a surefooted and confident woman professional. Chow!
zkonedog If the mark of a tremendous comedy is the ability to leave the audience quoting its funniest lines long after the end credits roll, than "Anchorman" is one of the greatest comedic masterpieces ever produced.For a basic plot summary, "Anchorman" is set in the 1970s TV news business, where anchormen rule the roost and women are not given the time of day. As such, legendary anchor Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) feels threatened when female reporter Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) doesn't back down under his comic machismo."Anchorman" is a typical Will Ferrell move through and through. That is, the humor comes from watching Ferrell recite the most hilarious of lines with the straightest of faces. Almost every joke is completely ridiculous, but the fact that everyone plays it so straight is where the real humor arises.Also, Steve Carrell (and to a lesser extent other auxiliary cast members David Koechner & Paul Rudd, among others) nearly steals the show playing the "sidekick" role. In one of Carrell's first film roles, he shows that his type of humor (in the same vein of Ferrell) would be around to stay. "Brick Tamland" provides easily some of the most side-splitting material ever put to film.Overall, I consider "Anchorman" to be one of the funniest comedy films of all-time for one basic reason: it isn't a complete farce. There are no intensely sexual, bodily secretion, or otherwise gross-out jokes in this film. Just well thought-out and well-acted humor for the duration.
telesfunken This is just childish rambling with swearing. There's nothing funny about this movie, I find it actually quite sad. Just a bunch of idiots apparently mentally challenged trying to get in women's pants using techniques that would hardly work in a woman if you paid her. But in the movie, it actually does work!!! And it has a 7.2 rating in IMDb!!!! That's just incredible!I was having a bad day and needed a good laugh. Well... that backfired like a horse's kick right in the... you know where."This city was discovered by Germans in 1904 and they called it San Diago (Yes, DiAgo). Which of course, means a whale's vagina"(????!) In what planet is this funny? And I never EVER found Will Ferrel funny. He LOOKS funny, which is different. I laugh at him, not with him. He actually kind of grosses me out. Must be some kind of acquired taste that only works in America.
