ANCHORMAN (2004)


Directed by Adam MacKay, this was a deceptive comedy.
I thought it was gonna suck really bad when it started, but then it became hilarious.
Will Ferrell stars as Ron Burgundy, a newsman in 1974 San Diego.
His goal is to be the main journalist/anchorman at his station.
Enter Christina Applegate, a savvy woman who has the exact same goal.
The laughs came quick after Will & Christina hook up (the "Take me to Pleasure Town" sequence was a riot).
Ron's pals are a hoot (Steve Carrell & Paul Rudd) and I loved it when they all sang "Afternoon Delight" a-capella.
Jack Black has a funny cameo- he gets hit by a flying burrito from Ron's car, crashing his motorcycle on a bridge,
then proceeding to kick Ron's dog over the bridge.
The gang fight between all the competing stations was outrageous and hilarious too.
The plot is the silliest thing ever, but you know that going in. Thumbs up for Anchorman. It had me laughing.
