The comedy elite is participating in this movie: Will Ferrell (not so funny), Christina Applegate (the non-funny type that everybody else builds his humour on), Paul Rudd (funny!), Steve Carell (the funniest dude in the whole fucking movie!), David Koechner (mostly annoying), Fred Willard (anonymous), Chris Pernell, Seth Rogen (unfortunately not so much camera time), Jack Black (same goes for Mr. Blacky) – and yeah, the list goes on.

We’re set in the seventies, where the anchorman for the TV news was the shit and knew like everything. The man with the power and all that. Everything is going fine for this team of anchormen until a foxy lady arrives at the station to stir things up. She has an ambition to climb the ladder and become a news anchor no matter what – something that is not really appreciated in the days where there only were men who did those kind of jobs.

So you are probably seeing where this is heading. The team of halfly retarded men trying to block her way to the top, and thus inviting to a lot of funny situations.

I must say that I think the movie would’ve been better without Will Ferrell. I don’t dislike him, I don’t. But I think he gets too much camera time when there are a lot of other characters that are way more funny than his own. Although I must agree that much of the dialogue as well as the monologue is truly hilarious. Even if I don’t crack up in a straight out laughter, I catched myself with a big smile most of the time.

Give it a try. Not the best comedy you’ve seen so far, but not the worst either. Better than Semi-Pro.

The News Team. Steve Carell (on the further right) was the best part of the movie. A retarded weather man, that is fucking brilliant!
