This and Dodgeball, for me, represent the high point of the Frat Pack era. With the exception of maybe The Wedding Crashers (which I found surprisingly funny) this group of childish 30 something’s have not made a movie as humorous since.
I don’t really know what it is that Anchorman does to make me laugh so much. Maybe it’s the fact that Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy is an absolute idiot yet oozes stratospheric levels of confidence, or Steve Carell’s Brick Tamland just being an idiot, or the fact that you’d never ever be able to take any of these moronic characters seriously (which I guess is kind of the point), I dunno, but somehow it’s mix of childish stupidity, oddball humour and just plain ridiculousness wins me over every time.
Any comedy that features a cameo by Tim Robbins is always worthy of my time.
4/5
