70’s news spoof Anchor-man which
was co-written by Will Ferrell himself has always been a hit with quotes like “I
don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal”. The hilariously crude
comments, improvisation and that funny looking moustache will have you
vibrating with laughter off the chair. It is full of uncomfortable yet
enjoyable humour (should you laugh? Of course you should). Ron Burgundy is a
local icon and a hero who owns the title of anchor-man. He falls for a new female news reporter who
has been brought in to spice things up but the rest of the news team see it as
a major problem as all newsreaders are men. This film shows the terrible sexist
humour of men and the immature comments that could spew from their mouths in
the 70’s. The inappropriate remarks are not only that but also funny and coming
from a woman that must mean it’s worth watching. Ferrell’s performance is both
brilliant and unpredictable. You never know where he is going with a joke but
it is always the right way. Good ole Christina Applegate who plays the new
female news reporter Veronica Corningstone gets her digs back in at the majorly
sexist comments that are thrown at her. This film is legendary and must be
seen, so go out and grab a copy. Roll on the sequel.
