booloolooMar 16, 200910Between my 3 friends at school and me we have seen this 43 times. Brilliance from Adam Mckay.

JanetKAug 14, 200510This movie should be a cult classic like Rocky Horror! We should be going to see it at midnight showings for 20+years. Shout it from a mountain top!

JohnnyT.Jul 12, 200410Farrell's embrace of the absurd non-sequitor is at it's best here. I was in tears at least twice. This will go down as a classic of its genre.

BurtonM.Jan 12, 20059Another comedy masterpiece from will farrel. Hilarious. Especially if you are old enough to remember the 70's.

LAhaJan 10, 200510One of the best movies I've seen in a while. Will Farrell is absolutely amazing in a role that he was born to play!

JakeAug 4, 200510If you hate this show because it's dumb, pull your head out. News Flash, it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be a damn artsie film. It made me laugh more than any movie in a long time, so it deserves a 10!

FrancoH.Aug 2, 200610It's Anchorman! It's on Bravo's top 100 funniest movies of all-time! So that must mean something.

AlansitoP.Jul 11, 200410It was a very entertaining and funny movie. kids will love it!!

BrianK.Jul 12, 20049This movie is easily one of the funniest movies i've seen EVER!!! Will Ferrell is the funniest i've ever seen him!!

BenZ.Jul 16, 20049Best comedy of the year, no question. While alot of the jokes are of the "so stupid its funny" calibur, there is alot of genuinly funny material here as well. This film was almost non-stop with its humor which was a wise choice.

WillferrelloverAug 6, 200410AMAZING. The jokes were hilarious i think this movie was as good as pokemon heroes!

BrianO.Apr 12, 200510The first time I watched Anchorman I would have given it a 6. But the more you talk about it and watch it with your friends, the funnier it becomes! Its definately a quotable movie. If you didnt like it at first, I suggest watching it with a group of friends because.."Sixty percent of the time, it works EVERY time"

JohnR.Oct 11, 200610Will Ferrell is hilarious once again. The man is good. I mean really good. The movie is filled with so many great quotes that no one can help but use in their everyday life. Two thumbs way up for this masterpiece.
-
-
RobP.Mar 30, 200610If i could have given this movie a 11 then i would have in the blink of an eye! First saw the movie over a year ago and me and my mates still laugh and make quotes from it today. Pure genius!

MikeH.Jul 10, 20069I thought Anchorman was great, and the movie is incessantly replayable. Typical comedy cliches are turned inside out and made original and the casting is inspired. There seem to be a fair few negative reviews, I guess the irony of the entire film was lost on some. To each to his own i suppose.

TyJ.Feb 20, 200710Funniest movie of recent times, and, upon further reflection, we can see a glimmer of what the 70's were like, gender equality struggles, and I think we can all see a bit of ourselves in the sweet, although conceited, Ron Burgundy as played by Will Ferrell.

aimeeJan 22, 200810This film is hilarious, will farrel is one funny man, I could watch this film over and over and it would never get old. Two phumbs up.

MattFDec 29, 20049My rating for this movie is very simple. If you like Will Ferrel, you will love this movie. If you don't, then I would avoid it.

CameronS.Jul 10, 20049HILARIOUS MOVIE! Great acting by all the cast, Very stupid but hilarious movie.

RobG.Jul 14, 20049A comedy that doesn't forget it's a comedy. Too many SNL alums make movies that 'go Sandler' as my friends and I say; that is, they go soft and sentimental and there's no jokes in the last half hour. This one doesn't let off for a second.
-
-
KatieP.Jul 14, 200410The first 10 minutes suck. But after that, the movie gets great. Don't see this film if you expect anything more than a poor plot and mediocre acting. It's meant to be a comedy like an SNL skit, and that's exactly what it is. Hilarious.

BradAJul 17, 200410The best comedy I have seen since Dumb and Dumber! Much better than Dodgeball, and by far the best Will Farrell movie ever!
-
-
BRJul 18, 20049Intentionally cheesy & funny as hell. Ferrell had me in tears. The cameos were a nice touch too. Stay for the out-takes as well!
-
-
BorisG.Jan 21, 200510Pure genius!! Anchorman incorporates a diverse range of comedic techniques which provides the audience with constant laughter and entertainment. Through incorporating an array of different personalties into the film, it creates a pleasurable and enjoyable atmosphere.

MattJan 25, 200510How can you not love this movie?! Hysterically funny, GREAT quotes! The next Zoolander.

ArthurO.Feb 23, 200510Saw this a long time ago, but I need to say something. This movie is awesome, its too bad that people like ashish and most critics cannot laugh at these great, stupid comedies. That's why brain-dead movies like Million Dollar Baby are up for an Oscar. For those of you who like to actually laugh while watching a movie, pick this up if you haven't already.

JoelA.Jul 18, 200510The best movie... How can you not love it?!

RodDogAug 29, 200510The entire cast is hillarious is this fun filled 70's theme movie.

CharlieD.Oct 3, 200610One of the best films ever, this truly is Will Farrell at his best....

JustinP.Dec 5, 20079One of my all time favourite comedies.

SophieJul 31, 20079Fantastic comedy.. just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Some of the lines are priceless and instant classics. I can watch this movie again and again and not get bored.
-
-
K.H.Jul 12, 200410I went in expecting Will Ferrell to make me laugh a few times. I was laughing non-stop throughout the entire movie. It was ridiculous. But I must admit, it was one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Will Ferrell is a god among men.
-
-
MichaelM.Jul 12, 20049Really funny... but the movie is what it i...a light comedy not a work of art. Very amusing ferrel is hilarious!

MichaelJ.Jul 16, 200410Will Ferrell is hilarious as Ron Burgundy in this often crude comedy. But the crude humour is the kind which will keep the laughs going. One of the true comedic gems of this year. Don't miss it.

DrizztD.Jul 18, 200410I laughed so hard! I almost threw up! We need more movies with erection scenes! People..bears are noble creatures and a proud race, and without Anchorman, I'd never know that.... Go see this to laugh your ass off!

RitaP.Jan 24, 200610Gold, absolute gold. If you don't love this film then frankly you have tired of life and should confine yourself to your bed waiting for the inevitable. Otherwise join the rest of us in marvelling at the comedic genius of Will Ferrell and co.

DickO.Jun 23, 200710To be honest, i cant handle to much dumbass comedy like Adam Sandler as such but this was in a whole different class of dumbass, absolute class.

TjEJan 21, 20099A very funny movie. I don't think anyone who appreciates comedy can watch this without laughing once. Be warned however, Anchorman isn't for everybody. People who don't like random jokes or watch movies only for plot will not enjoy Anchorman. Everyone else will fall in love with it.

Jul 27, 20119This movie is a perfect-to-watch-with-friends comedy. So perfect in fact, there wasn't a time where I wasn't at least smiling. It's humor is somewhat dated and slightly stupid, but it's actors carry it so well.
-
Aug 18, 20129For me, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is pretty much the funniest film of all time. It's an eternal classic that never gets old and has the type of quotes that stay with you for life and enter your daily vernacular. Get your friends round, watch this movie as a group... comedy heaven!
-
Apr 28, 20119A truly hilarious movie from start to finish. I must have seen this film at least 10 times and never have I found it boring. This is largely because Anchorman contains some classic quotes and great performances, with a large number of enjoyable cameos. The film never degenerates into a period where the laughs dry up, unlike many other Will Ferrell movies, and is a masterpiece of comedy.
-
May 19, 201110Adam McKay. Need I say more? This movie is my favorite comedy of all time. I loved every moment of it. Is it inappropriate, and crude humor? YES. Is it one of the most quotable movies of all time? YES. This (imo) is Will Ferrell's best film. I still watch it religiously. Should you see this movie? YES. But I am not you.
-
Jun 17, 201110A fantastic comedy film. It is incredibly funny, and well acted. The writing is brilliant, as is the premise. There are at least 7 moments for which I was laughing uncontrollably. It is easily the best collaboration between McKay and Ferrell, and a great movie all around.
-
Sep 20, 201110Probably the funniest movie of the decade. Will Ferrell plays his funniest character to date. It just puts a stupid smile on your face. It has that unique quality of repeatably, where you can watch this over and over and not get sick of it.
-
May 31, 20129Its much funnier than Talladega Nights and theres a better cast here. Will Ferrell has rarely been better and the story, while sloppy in its construction, is very memorable.
-
Nov 30, 201110how the hell is this only a 7.1?! This was easily Will Ferells best movie and you people that comment with no sense of humor always screw it up! This movie was great btw. I say 10!
-
Apr 2, 20129Anchorman is an extrememely funny film with great acting by everyone. Through incorporating an array of different personalties into the film, it creates a pleasurable and enjoyable atmosphere. One of the best comedies in years.
-
Mar 31, 201210Will Farrell is always funny. In this he is hilarious. It is pretty inappropriate. Irections and much more. If you like dogs you will see one fall of a bridge.
-
Nov 28, 201210An unending tornado of irresistible hilarity, "Anchorman" represents the finest work Adam McKay and Will Ferrell have to offer.
-
80Wonderfully silly all the time.
-
42Ferrell, of course, has his moments. But he doesn't have an engaging "center" as a comedian.
-
50I can't help but feel that a funny movie was waiting to be unearthed amid all this self-congratulation and juvenile prankishness.
