Probably not."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman B- "While malapropisms and anachronisms do have their places in cinematic comedy, it's very tough to make them the foundation for a story."   FilmJerk.com   Edward Havens A "This is a masterpiece of comedy, ready to be watched, re-watched, quoted and imitated for years to come."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 4/4 "The humor of Anchorman is planted deep within a surreal 70s landscape where the jokes zing by so fast, you have zero time to ponder how out there they really are."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C+ "Gags aren't allowed to develop; the characters are shuffled from location to location and from conflict to conflict without building momentum."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D "A coarse, one-joke affair; Ron Burgundy might not have actually been an SNL skit, but 'Anchorman' sure feels like a movie based on one."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "Most of the comic sequences and satirical barbs in this comedy seem to have been recycled from the long ago past."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 3/4 "Farrell carries the movie on his broad shoulders, nailing the character perfectly."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "balances its social satire with some outlandish visual gags and moments of surreal hilarity"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/5 "It's hardly breaking news to tell you Will Ferrell's funny, but Anchorman's flights of lunacy need a little more story to keep us engaged."   Netflix   James Rocchi 6/10 "Isn't as strong as Dodgeball or Starsky and Hutch primarily because the satire inherent in these flicks isn't paid as much attention to this time around."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 21/100 "Avoid Anchorman like the plague, you’ll thank me later."   FilmFocus   Joe Utichi 6/10 "Most of the comedy is rather obvious--silly and corny--yet it's often so dumb it's intermittently funny."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "The screenplay by Ferrell and director Adam McKay revels in political incorrectness"   Light Views   John Larsen 2.5/5 "Rent it if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you. "   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 3.5/4 "Ferrell's written himself a perfect vehicle for his shameless overacting."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest C "essentially ninety minutes of name-calling and surprise cameos masquerading as comedy"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1.5/4 "You'll be more likely to scratch your head in puzzlement than to pull your mouth into a smile"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes "[N]inety endless minutes of some of the most stunningly incompetent filmmaking I’ve ever seen..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4/5 "If you don't like Will Ferrell, I don't understand you. I mean, this movie might just change your mind."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 3/4 "I think Anchorman has the potential to achieve Austin Powers-like status as a highly quotable movie."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B- " Remember the "Spanky and Our Gang" episodes where the boys wouldn't let Darla into the treehouse? Imagine that plot in the all-white-guys world of 1970's television news."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 3/4 "It’s difficult to resist a hero who believes that the name San Diego, derived from German, means “whale’s vagina.”"   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 4/5 "O diretor já revelou que um segundo filme, produzido apenas com as cenas deletadas deste, será incluído no DVD. Será que a pré-venda já começou?"   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca "This is one of the funniest movies of the year..."   Critic Doctor   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "The period vibe is basically the whole point to this charming and often very funny film."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 4/5 "Some of Anchorman is the kind of giddy, nonsensical stuff that can only emerge from a genuinely deranged comic brain."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves B "You finally got me, Will Ferrell. I surrender."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux B- "There is enough goofy humor to satisfy the guy in me but “Anchorman” has too many problems to propel it to the heights of Ferrell’s recent vehicles."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "This one's crazy, silly, funny and whole lotta loony, but as a cohesive movie movie...it's also kind of a mess."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg C+ "We really can’t call this a sophomore slump. Does sophomoric slump work?"   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell 3.5/4 "will ferell makes it big"   sbs.is   Stefan Birgir Stefansson "It has a pleasing, noodly elasticity about it -- the picture knows what its limits are and proceeds to boogie unself-consciously far outside them."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek 7/10 "An enthusiastic, harmlessly silly celebration of the empancipation of the TV newsroom."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 3/4 "The SNL veteran's willingness to do anything for a laugh, no matter how humiliating or juvenile, keeps the laughs flowing pretty steadily in this fast paced send up of seventies era news anchors in all their blown dry, polyester glory."   Reel.com   Timothy Knight 0.5/4 "The whole exercise has the smug feeling of a Kevin Smith film-- a cameo dumpster that doesn't even have the wit to kill Danny Trejo."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 8/10 Read review   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 47) of 47 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1
