Anchorman (2004)
Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell, left) makes Tom Grunick in Broadcast News look like Edward R. Murrow. He’s a misinformation machine coasting on supposed charm and good looks, aided by a news team of pompous dummies.
The one competent addition to the crew is Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate, right) who of course is punished for her competence with relentless harassment from her horrendous colleagues.
For all the excellent jokes, director Adam McKay and co-writer Ferrell land some solid points about how we all suffer when newspeople use news merely as a means to local fame and fortune. We love Anchorman.
