Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy Ratings & Reviews
Orlando Sentinel
Jay Boyar
Most of it isn't even as funny as those supposedly humorous features that local news broadcasts sometimes end with.
Rolling Stone
Peter Travers
Slaps a goofy smile on your face.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
While the film is sporadically funny, it was done much better on the small screen, decades ago.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
A comic idea that never finds the comic wellspring or anything resembling a sure source for laughs.
Los Angeles Times
Manohla Dargis
What takes the whole thing pleasurably over the top, turning a goof into a total gas, is the film's pitch-perfect absurdist comedy and warmth.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Ferrell has an absolutely magical way of making complete morons lovable.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
Overly broad humor with little on its mind.
New York Post
Megan Lehmann
Ferrell is funny spouting his weird stream-of-consciousness rants, but too often the plot leaves him hanging and he resorts to just Yelling Really Loud.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
As much credit as Ferrell deserves for keeping this nonsense from slipping off the screen, Applegate deserves as well.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Silly comedy that's definitely not for kids
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
What we get is more of the same from Ferrell -- funny faces, goofy accents, pratfalls aplenty -- and that ain't bad. It just could have been a lot better.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
But it isn't, and instead all we get is a tiredly over-the-top, overly improvised farce that relies more on the popularity of its star than it does on little things like character, story or continuity.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
It has a pleasing, noodly elasticity about it -- the picture knows what its limits are and proceeds to boogie unself-consciously far outside them.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
Wonderfully silly all the time.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
You will laugh. Then you will laugh some more. Then you will laugh still again.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Sloppy, crude, pursuing the most far-flung tangents in hopes of a laugh, Anchorman still gave me more stupid giggles than I'd care to admit if I weren't paid to.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
A lot of the time it's very funny.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
Always affectionate toward its people, especially when they are at their most ridiculous, Anchorman meticulously builds America's dimmest news team. And we root for them.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Little more than an extended Saturday Night Live skit with better wigs, real locations and a script that sputters as soon as its one-joke premise is exhausted.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
It is not as maniacally uninhibited as Old School or as dementedly lovable as Elf, but its cheerful dumbness is hard to resist.
