Editorial Review:
Will Farrell followed up his star-making vehicle Elf, which matched his fine-tuned comic obliviousness to a sweet sincerity, with a more arrogant variation on the same character: Ron Burgundy, a macho, narcissistic news anchor from the 1970s. Along with his news posse--roving reporter Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd, Clueless), sports guy Champ Kind (David Koechner), and dim-bulb weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carell, Bruce Almighty)--Burgundy rules the roost in San Diego, fawned upon by groupies and supported by a weary producer (Fred Willard, Best In Show) who tolerates Burgundy's ego because of good ratings. But when Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate, View from the Top) arrives with ambitions to become an anchor herself, she threatens the male-dominated newsroom. Anchorman has plenty of funny material, but it's as if Farrell couldn't decide what he really wanted to mock, and so took smart-ass cracks at everything in sight. Still, there are moments of inspired delirium. --Bret Fetzer
Anchorman - The Legend of Ron Burgundy Giftset (Widescreen Unrated Edition & Wake Up, Ron Burgundy) Reviews:
Great Movie 
2009-11-04 - This was a gift for my granddaughter who tells me it is one of her favorite movies.
WIN
2009-11-03 - Will Ferrel is a comedic genius. Perfectly balancing the slapstick, innuendo, and sarcasm is what he's best at. There's TONS of innuendo, so if you're sensitive or have children...you probably shouldn't watch.
Tons of hilarious one liners and the Afternoon Delight song made me cry from laughing so much.
Anhorman dvd 
2009-08-21 - I bought this DVd for my partner for his birthday , it didnt work in any of our dvd players and we have fairly new ones that cover all regions. then when i looked up a contact to try to return it , this proved hard within itself so gave up - so my experience with Amazon and the dvd was very average and poor.
THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2009-07-30 - When i watch comedys i look at this movie as the bar for comedies there is alot of movies that make me crack up the hangover,i love you man, knocked up,ect. but this is the only movie that made me fall out of my seat laughing i was embarrassed in the theater i couldnt tell if anybody else was laughing because i was laughing so loud but i bet they were if you like comedy,movies,will ferrell,or being an american you will love this movie it is truly a masterpiece the wake up ron burgundy thing was a huge dissapointment though dont pay extra for it its on youtube so buy the regular and have the best time of your life its better than sex well almost as good as sex buy it i also reccommend kung pow
"Oh, I'm in a glass case of emotion!" 
2009-06-30 - This is one of the most hilarious comedies from Will Ferrel and Steve Carell. I don't care if it looks dumb or it's not very smart, all I care about is that this film definintely makes me laugh. Carell steals the show as the mildly retarded Brick ("Fantastic!"), while Ferrel and Applegate make an interesting onscreen duo. And let's not forget some unexpected cameos in the middle of the film.
Watch it, and you'll be in hysterics. And don't forget: always drink your scotty scotch scotch!
