Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy : 3 of 5
7.28.2004 5:38 PM \| Link	Will Ferrell is probably the most talented of the recent generation of Saturday Night Live comedians (remember when they used to call them the Not Ready for Prime Time Players?), and Anchorman does a great job of extending a typical skit into a full-fledged movie. I really loved all the 70s costumes and scenery, and all of the goofy little news stories they kept covering were just hilarious. The opening with all of the introductions was pure genius, but the overall flow of the film got a little slow afterwards. Fortunately there are two fantastic scenes spaced just right to keep things interesting! First is the huge street fight between the rival news teams - all of the wounding was so over the top, and the cameos that kept popping up were fun, too. The rescue from the grizzly bears at the zoo was my favorite, though - watching the little dog talk to the bears with subtitles was sheer genius ("You will always be known as friend of the bears!"). The entire jazz flute sequence in the club was pretty damn funny, too. Anchorman is nothing spectacular, but my parents and I had a great time laughing all alone in the theater! Labels: movies
