Who has seen "Anchorman"?

[Left Is Write]

I like Will Ferrell. I didn't have terribly high expectations for the movie, but I expected that it would at least be cute and a fun little diversion for a couple of hours.

My husband and I got about half an hour into the movie and had to turn it off. It was so unfunny. It was almost painful to watch. I'm glad I didn't waste a trip to the theater on it.

[ET Awful]

1. I didn't like it. It had a few laughs, but nothing close to what

it was built up to be.

[Melodybe]

4. I liked it especially the Bush slam at the end.

Steve Carell's mentally retarded character becomes high ranking official in the Bush administration!

Sorry you didn't like it, "Why don't you go back to whore island!"

I laughed, not my favorite movie, but plenty of deep chuckling
.

[sasquatch]

2. I found it to be hilarious

Get to the scene where they have the gang fight between news teams.

[Tripper11]

3. Highly disappointed....

I seriously thought that the premise was brilliant and ripe with material and yet it was like the writers/producers, whomever really didn't take it to the limits it should have gone.

[Merrick]

5. I liked it. The death brawl between the rival news teams was great

Wes Mantooth: Nice clothes, gentlemen! I didn't know that the Salvation Army was having a sale. Am I right? Am I right? Look at these guys!

Brick Tamland: Hey! Where did you get those clothes? At the toilet store?

[ghostsofgiants]

6. I thought it was hilarious

The news team gang fight was one of the greatest scenes ever captured on celluloid in my opinion.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

16. Public television has taken a break from its annual fund drive...

to kick some ass! NO COMMERCIALS, NO MERCY!

[ghostsofgiants]

18. Boy, that escalated quickly... I mean, that really got out of hand fast!

Champ Kind: It jumped up a notch!
Ron Burgundy: It did, didn't it?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, I stabbed a man in the heart!
Ron Burgundy: I saw that! Brick killed a guy! Did you throw a trident?
Brick Tamland: Yeah, there were horses, and a man on fire, and I killed a guy with a trident!
Ron Burgundy: Brick, I've been meaning to talk to you about that. You should find yourself a safehouse or a relative close by. Lay low for a while, because you're probably wanted for murder.

[JohnKleeb]

19. classic

Now why did I use the money I had leftover from Boston on a Brazilian Foreign Film. With apologies to City of God as it was a kick ass movie and worth while investment.

[ghostsofgiants]

23. I got City of God in the mail from zip.ca yesterday

Amazing film.

[JohnKleeb]

26. Yeah its awesome isnt it

One of the few good film recommenditions the bastard of a brother has made to me.

[ghostsofgiants]

27. Haha

I'm a bit of a foreign film geek, so I expected it to be good, but it was even better than I had expected.

What other stuff has your brother recommended? I'm willing to bet my brother has even worse taste.

[JohnKleeb]

30. Hmmmmmmmm

The time I think he prefered getting How High over Coppolla's Acoylapse Now.

[ghostsofgiants]

32. Damn, that's bad

Last summer, every day for about two weeks I would wake up and go downstairs to see what was on satellite tv and my brother would be sitting there watching Biker Boyz.

[JohnKleeb]

34. Yeah

I cant remember some of the stuff since its been so bad and forgetful, hes a weirdo though when it comes down to it.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

29. What's it about?

:shrug: Never heard of it.

Kleeb you should watch "Tarnation". It was created for something like 100 bucks with iMovie. I liked it. I don't know why. I can't explain it. But you should try and see it.

[JohnKleeb]

31. City of God

and I think you would like it. Its about this Brazilian guy in Rio who is an amateur and inspiring photographer who gets caught up in the crime activity there. Its really well done, it covers his life from when hes about 10ish to his 20's. Its based on a true story.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

33. Sounds cool.

I'm really into the foreign film thing. I'll have to check it out.

[JohnKleeb]

35. Yeah you should, I thought you would be interested

in the fact that Rocket, the protagonist is a photographer. If I recall the music is really cool too, I like Brazilian music and the acting is great too. Its a little disturbing at times but its not like Scarface which I feel has violence for the sake of violence.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

36. Thanks

I'll have to check it out :)

[JohnKleeb]

37. No problem

Enjoy.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

22. no matter how many times I see that...

I always keel over laughing and feel like a huge loser for thinking it's still funny.

[ghostsofgiants]

24. Fuck yeah!

Just thinking about itt damn near brings me to tear of laughter.

[JohnKleeb]

28. what gets me rolling is how Champ Kind

later lost his job on a football broadcast team for sexually harassing John Madden I think, oh and theres this.

Harkin: OK, I understand. Uh, you have a nice day sir, goodbye.(on phone)
Corningstone: I can come back later Mr. Harkin.
Harkin: Oh, no, no, just parent stuff. Seems our youngest Chris was on something called acid and was firing a bow and arrow into a crowd. You know how kids are!
Then therse the conversation with him and the sister about porn hahahah.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

38. ditto.

[maveric]

7. I enjoyed the San Diego references and the colored,plaid suits.

I found it very funny.

[JohnKleeb]

8. Didnt Burgandy tell Veronica San Diego meant Whale's Vagina

I Thought it was funny too and I of course laughed hearing Afternoon Delight knowing that my uncle had dated the lead singer.

[Southsideirish]

9. Moronic, stupid, not funny at all!!

[deadparrot]

10. You can fast forward to the Bush jab at the end.

:)

A few laughs. Nothing amazing, IMHO, but okay to fill a couple hours.

[JohnKleeb]

11. Well I thought it was funny

Good for a sit down on an evening kinda movie. I thought Dodgeball was just as good though.

[libodem]

12. I thought it was dumb

corny and kind of an insult to intelligence...but that's whacha get with lowball humor, I guess.

[maveric]

15. It was supposed to be dumb.

Let your hair down! Sit back and enjoy the show!

[scarlet_owl]

13. That movie was awful. It's almost totally unwatchable.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

14. I laughed my ass off at it

:shrug:

[Cocoa]

17. I liked the jazz flute scene

but I thought it needed more cowbell. :-)

[LeftyDarthBrodie]

20. Didn't like it

but hey I haven't found any of Will Ferrel's post-SNL films particularly funny.

[DS1]

21. Seen it, the only part that made me laugh was (spoiler)

was when his pooch got kicked off the bridge.

That's how I roll... Too true :rofl:

[seemunkee]

25. Marginally humourous

Didnt' find it all that great, just barely funny.

[progmom]

39. thanks for the heads up

i'll skip it!

[El Fuego]

40. Hated it.

Totally.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

41. loved it

but I have heard similar complaints to yours.
