The greatest movie ever made..!

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I saw him yesterday and made me very puzzled in his assessment Was the average level or good Is the comedy in it good or boring On the other hand, I am sure of the quality of performance and what I saw in the film Is the emergence of most American comedy stars such as Ben Stiller ..... The story was pretty good and the script very coherent Some of the footage was funny and full of humor The performance of Steve Carl was the best actor knows very well how to make you enjoy all A word he utters and every movement he makes and what saddens me is to give him the space he deserves here....bad thing 6/10

Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron BurgundyYes, its an odd world, but hey it's their creation and they nail it pretty much and turns out its interesting and funny.

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.

As much as I tried, I couldn't even make it through the first thirty minutes, and I can't recall that happening in a long, long time, so I don't know if it ever improved during the last hour. I doubt it. I admit that I rarely watch films produced in the twenty first century, and now I understand why. How did this total loser ever get a 7.2 rating from IMDb subscribers? The writing was inane and infantile. So was the pathetic attempt at comic acting. I have seen Steve Carrell in some funny roles, but this just wasn't one of them. This movie didn't make me laugh. It made me very sad. I don't know why I even punished myself by sitting through the first half hour. Shame on me.
