Will Ferrell & Steve Carell rock it big time in Anchorman. The fight scene between the various station anchormen is one of the best fight scenes of all time.

Four words: THIS MOVIE IS GREAT! It stars Will Ferrell as Ron Burgundy, an anchorman who is the top news guy at his TV station. But all the things changed when he met Veronica Corningstone, a seemingly better anchorwoman.They fall in love,but things start to sour and Burgundy eventually gets fired.

BEST BIT: The enormous fight at the end of the movie.

This is a great movie. Will Ferrell is hilarious and it features just about the entire Frat Pack. The only thing missing was a cameo appearance by Owen Wilson.

This is classic. I mean, a group of anchormen fighting to the death in the streets, genius. One of the funniest movies released in past years, as long as you're a fan of Ferrel.

I enjoyed this movie and thought the cast was great but it's not as funny as everyone makes it out to be.

This movie is freaking amazing. It's Will Ferrel's best movie yet. The entire movie was hillarious, as was the cast great. Anyone with a hunger for comedy and slapstick needs to go to the nearest movie store right now and rent this movie.

  Full force Will Ferrell at his best. And as an added bonus, we all get one of the funniest movies of the year...that is if you don't mind your humor on the rude and crude side.

  It strides above its crudeness like a colossus. It's smart people telling dumb jokes with a brilliant sense of irony. Anchorman gives you permission to laugh like an idiot.

  To discover why movie fans are screaming for more Will Ferrell, and to savor the work of improv wizards like Carell, go see Anchorman.

  In this context Ferrell seems more than just comic relief. He's a reminder that the greatest, deepest laughter doesn't come at the expense of some other guy, but from the glints of self-recognition we get when the screen becomes our mirror.

  Generates enough inspired lunacy to sail past the arid stretches and provide a welcome splash of breezy, at times jaw-droppingly bizarre summer fun.

  The voice-over narration by Bill Kurtis is a stroke of genius.

  It takes a while to get used to the film's campy characters and its broad, "Ace Ventura" stylings. But Ferrell is the anti-Jim Carrey -- his deadpan comic mannerisms are infectiously funny, and his cluelessly narcissistic Burgundy is a joy to follow.

  That he can make his anchorman chauvinistic, deluded and ridiculous but still manage to give him some humanity is testimony to Ferrell's comic talents.

  An engagingly knuckleheaded comic vehicle for former Saturday Night Live trouper Will Ferrell.

  It's hard to say whether Anchorman is the funniest movie of the year - it has enough offbeat and gut-busting moments to make it worth consideration in that category.

  Most of the time, though, Anchorman works, and a lot of the time it's very funny.

  Anchorman is the kind of wonderful, cotton-candy escapism that should leave you with the right kind of stomachache.

  There's no sense to the scene in which the boys get together for a close-harmony rendition of "Afternoon Delight" -- just pure pleasure.
