I love Will Ferrell. He's a terrific actor, and extremely funny - qualities which are prominently displayed in Anchorman. Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) is the anchorman of a local San Diego news station. However, his world gets turned upside down with the arrival of a sexy new reporter (Christina Applegate), with whom Burgundy soon falls in love (obviously). And of course, there's normal news anchor stuff, like Ron's relationship with Baxter (his dog), his news team's rivalry with other San Diego news teams (which culminates in one of the movie's most hilarious/most violent moments), and the quirkiness of the rest of Ron's news team (including Paul Rudd and, most notably, Steve Carrell as a dimwitted weatherman).
While not a movie for everyone (i.e. people who don't like Will Ferrell will absolutely hate it), Anchorman is a wonderful film, and is easily one of Ferrell's most memorable.
Rating: 90/100
