Well, obviously by my signature, you can tell I liked this movie. In fact, it's one of the funniest ones I've ever seen. I have alot of friends that couldnt stand it. Do I not get it or what?

I'd have to agree with your friends... :sorry:

This movie was the absolute worst piece of crap that Will Ferrell has ever done. And he's done a lot of crap. I saw this at the theatre with a friend who wanted to see it for his birthday, and I almost walked out it was so stupid... :cool:

But if you like it that's awesome! :woohoo: :wavey:

I thought it was hysterical. There seems to be a lot of Farrel hatin' on this board.

I am not a big fan of Farrell's, but I though Anchorman was okay. Any cameo by Vince Vaughn is fine by me. :)

I thought it was funny but not something I could watch over and over again. I watched Sideways last night and didn't see what the fuss was all about. :shrug:

He's let himself go. The last photo I saw of him and Aniston had him sporting a huge beer gut.

I ****ing love Anchorman. My favorite Will Ferrell will always be Old School, but Anchorman was great. Not as consistent as I'd like, but when it has its moments, it has them. Omg. The gun show, and the jazz flute, and the news brawl. I love it.

I think if I watch that one a few more times (when I'm not feeling sick) I think I'll like it better. Sandra Oh smacking that guy in the head with her bike helmet was pretty funny.

I loved Sandra in the film. I always laugh my arse off at the wallet scene.

:nod: I totally agree! It's my all time favorite movie! But a lot of my friends hate it too. :distress: They just don't understand true comedy.

I enjoyed Anchorman, as did most people I know, so I'm surprised to see that so many people here don't care for it. It's certainly not a very cohesive movie, as often happens when there's so much improvising going on, but the funny moments are really funny, and they're not too few and far between to make it a bad movie.

The whole scene with Baxter and the bears is absolutely hilarious, at any rate.

It didn't arrive in our cinemas, but maybe it's possible to find it on video. Is it a satire about tv?

I have the absolute worst photo of Vince Vaughn that was just taken recently, but I have too much love and respect for Krista to post it. Let's just say that I didn't know it was possible to have three bags under each eye.

My favorite scene was the one between Giamatti and Madsen at Oh's house, talking about their love for wine. Such a lovely, beautifully acted scene.

It's because I'm allergic to Will Ferrell. He's as funny as a kick in the balls.

She did save it. With help from Mo Rocca, Stephen Colbert, Jason Schwartzman, and good use of Talking Heads, of course.

OMG! The Talking Heads scene is my fav. (as I already indicated)...I so want an animation of when she cleans up the house and cat is playing with the little peanut things in the air! :) :lol:

I enjoyed the movie. I went in knowing it would be stupid. But sometimes, I must admit, I'm actually in the mood for stupid, mindless comedy. Going into it with that attitude, I enjoyed it. :thumbsup:

My favorite scene was the fight scene between the different news teams. It cracked me up!

I did not find it amusing in the least. :shrug: I may have smirked at one or two places, mostly from Steve Carroll or whatever the feck his name is ("Loud noises!!")...but otherwise, I thought it was a worthless piece of dreck. Sorry

I actually just bought this on DVD like last week. But yes, I think it's a hilarious movie. I remember seeing it in theaters and laughing my ass off. When I watch it on DVD, it isn't so funny. Hm, who knows. Still love it though!

It's a parody of what 70's television news was like.

yup.

I prefer movies with substance

I think that's a good distinction, and that is one of the pitfalls of a movie like Anchorman. It's focused so much on its improvisational technique, that the "substance" of the film kind of gets lost. It's kind of form over function in that way. Of course, the best improv should really give you both.

I'm not understanding of his humor either. His comedy is cliche...
