Review: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

For my very first review I didn't pick my favourite movie of all time, I didn't pick the worst movie of all time ( we'll get to that one later ) and I didn't pick the best movie of all time. However, Anchorman is one of the best comedy's I have ever seen!

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy stars many top actors, such as Will Ferrell, Steve Carell and Christina Applegate. The plot is abput news anchor Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell). He is the man. He is the head of the WKNV news team at six. Together with his reporter in the field Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), Champ Kind (David Koechner) sports and Brick Tamland (Colin Farell) weather. Their lives are pretty damn awesome. They get all the hot girls, have awesome parties and the finest suits. That is untill Veronica Corningstone ( Christina Applegate ) stepps into the picture. She wants to be a newsanchor and is the first female reporter on the news team. The guys are all trying to get rid of her, but at the same time they want to have their way with her. After a few disasterous pick up attemts, Ron finally manages to get a relationship with her. The story unfolds into a wacky plot where almost nothing makes sense, and you will laugh, a lot.

What makes this movie work is the characters. They are the manliest of men and they are also complete assholes. Especially when they try to hit on Veronica. They try everything. By far the best is Brian, who tries to impress her with his masque. He says the line, "They have done studies you know. 60% of the time, it works every time. The characters are believable and make for one of the best comedic dialouge I have seen so far.

The movie does slow down a bit and the end is a bit hasty. But it does finish up the story nicely. Although I would have loved to see a bit more of the pick up attempts on Veronica, since those are the funniest.

Overall Anchorman: The legend of Ron Burgundy ( what a mouth full) is a fantastic comedy. Give it a try! You will laugh guaranteed and it is a good time!

This movie gets Wreviews Stamp of awesomeness! ( stay tuned for the rating system!)
