DVD: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy

In 1970 the news was ruled by one man, that man was Ron Burgundy, In Anchorman Will Ferrell plays Ron Burgundy a big time Anchorman for the Channel 4 News in San Diego. Burgundy and his team who include Champ Kind ( David Koechner), Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell) are having a great time in till Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate) joins there team with big dreams of becoming an anchorwoman.

Will Ferrell is one of the biggest comedians acting today anything Ferrell does tends to make laughter and with Anchorman being no exception. Will Ferrell plays a very charming dim-witty news anchor, which he plays right on. Every scene Will Ferrell is in I tend to laugh. The rest of the 'team' is also funny with a steller supporting cast including the great Fred Willard, but my personal favorite was Brain Fantana who is played by Paul Rudd he was good.

The story was written by both Will Ferrell and Adam Mckay, Adam Mckay who was a writer on SNL when Will Ferrell too was on the show so he know comedy. Anchorman was also directed by Mckay who I thought did a decent job.

The story on the other hand I thought was all over the place, for example there's a scene where the local news groups get in a fight, it really doesn't need to be in there but who cares its funny it made me laugh, and at least every film that is based in the 70s you have to have a refrence to the Starland Vocal Band when Anchorman does pretty good.

Like most of the films Will Ferrell stars great with funny characters and something that can make anyone laugh, that why I Strongly Recommend Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

The special features on the Anchorman DVD are good. I watched the unrated version of Anchorman and the commentary was funny the first five minutes Will ferrell and Adam Mckay just see how far they can go with this unrated commentary which was pretty funny. the bloopers and the deleted scenes are well, and theres only one of the interviews from the MTV awards. The Audition was a good extras as well as the funny Interview. The Making of featurette was one around nine minutes being very short. To top it all off it has the funny Afternoon Delight music vedio preformed by the Channel 4 News Team. The the dvd features are enjoy to say the least, If you like any other of Will Ferrell's movies or you just like to see a good comedy then Anchorman is the one to see. Recommend Buy.
