This is a movie so unfunny that I felt that I’d found something more humorous in war movies. I’ve said before that the point of a comedy is to make you laugh but I don’t find “Anchorman” funny at all, which is a shame as it features lots of famous faces.

The film follows an anchorman named Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell “Elf”) and his news team during the 70s. The sexist bunch attempt to stop a woman named Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate “Hall Pass”) from becoming the new anchor. Through various silly ways they try and chat her up and then Burgundy starts going out with her but when she becomes the new anchor the tension gets stronger and the duo use every childlike way to get back at each other.

Will Ferrell is unfunny as the titular Ron Burgundy. I’m not really a fan of Ferrell. Veronica Corningston is a dull character but the rest of the characters are boring too. Steve Carell (“Get Smart”) stars as Brick, who is part of the news team. He’s not funny and just spouts out garabage. Various other comedic actors such as Jack Black (“School of Rock”), Vince Vaughn (“Wedding Crashers”) and Ben Stiller (“Duplex”) all make cameo appearances and are poor.

This movie is boring. The jokes are weak, the characters are dull and the plot is annoying. I really disliked this picture. It doesn’t have individual moments that scream out at me as being among the worst things I’ve seen but it’s so boring that as a whole it’s one of the worst things I’ve seen. I can’t believe that this film is often regarded by both critics and audiences as ‘good’. If you like watching boring films that don’t offer you anything that could even be considered as maybe being okay then I’m sure you’ll get on fine with “Anchorman” but if you’re normal you’ll hate this picture.
