I somehow missed this one earlier
– dunno how I did that grave mistake but not anymore, as its sequel is right
round the corner – not released so far in our part of the world, I had to see
it. As expected this one is a total laugh riot and no doubt that it shows up in
couple of top 100 funny movie lists. I mean look at that amazing casting for
one – did they miss casting anyone else who was doing comedy a decade ago? I don’t
think so as almost everyone does a cameo in this one – one of my all time
favorite Danny Trejo too gets a scene to remember. Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell) as
the name suggests is a legend from 70s, the best anchorman ever, about to face
tough competition by his newly appointed female counterpart Veronica (Christina
Applegate), how they tackle each other and try to finish off each other’s
career is the rest of the movie. One mistake that almost ends his career is the
high point of the movie and I just couldn’t control my laughter. It’s a superb
comedy of errors and I must say – it is one of those movies which indeed made
me laugh out loud a lot after a long time, almost throughout its run time especially
the scene where the whole gang of comedians come over to take revenge on the
Legend and how it turns out is something you’ve got to watch the movie for. Fantastic
job by Paul Rudd, David Koechner, and Steve Carell as his partner in crime,
their office interactions and chemistry is simply out of this world – I loved
the jingle they sing together. It’s a must watch for all comedy lovers and
should not be missed, my ratings 4/5 as I dash to get the sequel at the
earliest.
