"Oh this burrito is delicious, but it is filling." ( Ron Burgandy)
"That's how I role." (Jack Black)
"No commercials! No MERCY!" (Public News Team anchor: Tim Robbins)
Oh Anchorman. You are so funny. I love you like Baxter. Because you are my little gentleman. Anchorman plays to its strengths. Will Ferrell is funny. They let him be funny. Late 70s fashion and mustaches are funny. Lots of those too. Over the top disgusting machismo is funny when presented as absurdity in the light of reason. Bada Bing. Mix them all together and success.
On the other hand, Anchorman makes literally no sense. Characters break the 4th wall, scenes are cut in awkward places, reality loses all meaning, and the barrage of jokes eliminates any sense of meaningful audience investment. But, none of that matters. Anchorman is hysterical.
Ratings
Sexists: See it. Look at how ridiculous your notions are. We laugh at them.
AnchorPeople: See it.
Milk choosers: Bad choice
Flautists: See it
That guy Britt stabbed with a trident while ridding a horse: See it.
On a scale of Whammmie to And boom goes the dynamite, I give Anchorman 3.689 out of 5 stars.
Again, solid review, except for the fact that Steve Carrel / Carel I don't care how it is spelled sucks. Without him and his insipid brick character this movie would have been double awesome, but he dulls the blade preventing this movie from being a mighty sword. (End Steve Carrel flame session)
