Saw this on tv tonight.
Quite possibly the best movie I've ever seen where it seems that it's just a bunch of random one liners that are somehow all tied in to have a plot.
NOT CRAP

this is just about the same synopsis I've given of this movie. It's just a string of punch lines and inside jokes. It's awesome. NOT CRAP

this sucked rayon dicks.

saw the first 35 minutes or so @ brew n view... if a comedy isn't funny at brew n view, it ain't funny...

If you buy the "special edition" dvd, you get an entirely different movie made up of outtakes from the original. That movie, Wake Up, Ron Burgundy, stars Chuck D. They had Chuck D in the movie, and left him on the cutting room floor.

Not Crap!

Seconded, that second version was a hoot. I have now watched the first Unrated version over 12 times. I need help.

Brilliant.

NOT CRAP

some funny parts but overall crap. christina applegate was dispicable. that guy paul rudd or whatever needs to can the comedy... except for that part with the black panther or whatever cologne, that was funny. and burgundys relationship with his dog + that incredible flute solo in the club. that was excellent.

i think that it just went south a lot more than it did stay afloat. the only consistantly redeeming part is that you have will ferell, who basically makes me laugh just by looking at him. i can't love snl movies for some reason, and that's basically what this was.

Not the best comedy ever, or even in the top 50, but Not Crap.

Steve Carrell was my favorite part of the movie by far, but as one reviewer I read aptly put it, he's basically playing a grown up Ralph Wiggum. Still, the first time you're introduced to the character, he's shoving mayonnaise into a toaster.

The movie kinda falls apart in the last half an hour or so, and if Steve Carrell weren't in it I probably wouldn't have thought much of it at all. Still, Not Crap.

I was disappointed by Anchorman. I remember reading a couple reviews that raved about Christina Applegate's performance, which I really can't understand. She's not a good actress, and she was basically the straight man in this movie. I'd rather see Bud Bundy get another shot at stardom.
However unfunny this movie was at times, though, the gang fight with all the different TV crews was funny as hell.
