Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
By Jandy • Aug 21st, 2007 • Category: Capsule Reviews •Eh. I know a lot of people who love this film inordinately, but I found it underwhelming, to say the least. Will Ferrell is obnoxiously amusing as Ron Burgundy, the inappropriate anchorman of a popular news show. The rest of the cast is mostly just obnoxious, while Christina Applegate has the thankless job of playing the woman who tries to break into the boys’ club of a 1970s network and ends up (inevitably yet inexplicably) romantically involved with Ferrell. I’ll admit that it’s fitfully entertaining, but not enough to make it really worthwhile.
