Anchorman is one of my favorite comedy movies if not my favorite comedy movie of all time. Anchorman is about a news cast in San Diego lead by the legendary Ron Burgundy. Ron Burgundy is so legendary because of his self-proclaimed dashing good looks and his amazing on screen presence. His downfall however is his willingness to literally read whatever is out on the screen. This ends up getting him in some serious trouble when new member of the crew Veronica Corningstone shows up. Her good looks and ability on the camera end up hurting Ron and things spiral down from there. Will Ferrell plays Ron Burgundy and I think he does a genius job as he is by far my favorite comedy character in any comedy movie. He is absolutely hilarious. Steve Carrell, Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, and David Koechner also star in this movie as members of the news crew and all do a great job as they are all hilarious. Ron Burgundy is a confident anchor who has been with the news crew for multiple years. The news station however decides to add a new addition to the crew. This addition is Veronica Corningstone. She is a confident young up and coming new anchor who hopes to eventually make it big. Ron and Veronica end up falling in love, but Veronica still attempts to sabotage Ron and is successful with it. Veronica puts her job first and eventually takes over as lead anchor. This movie depicts Veronica as a somewhat cruel person, but also a very likeable person. Ron is shown as a confident guy who isn’t necessarily the smartest. The theme of this movie is that real champions always arise in the end and the real winner will always win. You have to watch the entire movie to know what I am saying. I agree with almost all critics in saying that this is a can’t miss comedy. This movie is worth every penny to go see and is a must see for all comedy fans and also just movie fans in general.
