“In a year packed with comedies that were all a bit stupid and silly (and all seemed to feature Ben Stiller), Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy reigns supreme above them all. This is a movie that is well aware of its own stupidity, and best of all, it is able to embrace it skillfully so that it is exactly as silly and immature as it wants to be. It is such a great comedy; Iu0026#39;d consider it the Naked Gun of our generation.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs apposed to many, many, other comedies, Anchorman actually gets better as it moves along. Most of the time a comedy like this will use up all the laughs in the first hour and then try to take a serious, lovey-dovey turn in the last act. There are more laughs in the last half hour than in the first half hour, which usually is never the case. Itu0026#39;s as if there was some mathematical comedic formula that spread the laughs out in a way that it was consistently funny. Or, maybe they just got lucky. I dunno.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI loved all the characters in the movie, every role no matter how small had a great moment or two. Will Ferrel of course, the star of the movie who is just perfect as Ron. Heu0026#39;s so so funny u0026#39;cause heu0026#39;s such a lovable idiot. Even Christina Appelgate, who was in a role that quite honestly anyone could have done, is able to make it her own and provide some laughs. There is a scene that has a lot of cameos that was hilarious as well. It was one of those moments that takes you completely by surprise.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSo, what else can I say except that I loved Anchorman! Itu0026#39;s the best u0026quot;stupidu0026quot; comedy Iu0026#39;ve seen in years. This is Will Ferrel at his best and it will be hard to top.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy rating: 9/10”
