Review
It offers episodes of such inspired idiocy that the only reasonable response is to laugh yourself stupid... if it were any more manic you'd have to put it on Ritalin (Empire, 31/07/2008)
[Ferrell is] 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 (Los Angeles Times, 31/07/2008)
Move over Austin Powers, there's a new big screen Love Machine in town (News Of The World, 31/07/2008)
Anchorman is the kind of wonderful, cotton-candy escapism that should leave you with the right kind of stomach ache (Premiere, 31/07/2008)
There's no sense to the scene in which the boys get together for a close-harmony rendition of 'Afternoon Delight'--just pure pleasure (Rolling Stone, 31/07/2008)
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 (USA Today, 31/07/2008)
Generates enough inspired lunacy to sail past the arid stretches and provide a welcome splash of breezy, at times jaw-droppingly bizarre summer fun (Variety, 31/07/2008)
DVD Description
Will Ferrell's hit comedy ANCHORMAN is united at last with its 'sequel', WAKE UP RON BURGUNDY, an entire film made up of footage and scenes that never made it into the first film.
It's the early 1970s and the local anchorman is not only a source of news but a revered local hero. In San Diego, Ron Burgundy (Will Ferrell), a moustachioed bachelor with a taste for scotch, unparalleled passion for the jazz flute, and a near-telepathic connection with his spirited mutt, Baxter, is that man. Rounding out Ron's testosterone-heavy news team are his close friends--cologne-obsessed man-on-the-street Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), sports reporter Champ Kind (Dave Koechner), and mentally challenged weatherman Brick Tamland (Steve Carrell). Their male camaraderie is challenged, though, when producer Ed Harken (Fred Willard), pressured by changing times, brings the first female reporter, ambitious Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate), to the team. Ron finds his chauvinistic ideals compromised further when he starts falling in love with her. Fuelled by Ferrell's singularly loopy persona, ANCHORMAN joins the long list of comedies which have successfully poked fun at the styles and mores of the '70s. Here, with Ferrell's script and Adam McKay's direction, the character of Ron Burgundy becomes a full-bodied comic creation whose possibilities for laughs aren't nearly exhausted by the end credits. The result is an often hilarious celebration of moustaches, wide neckties, alcohol abuse, and good, old-fashioned sexism.
Retaining the same cast and crew from ANCHORMAN, WAKE UP RON BURGUNDY sees the news team--led by Burgundy (Will Ferrell) and Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate)--investigating an extremist organisation known as The Alarm Clock. With the same absurdist tone and style as its parent film, WAKE UP RON BURGUNDY is a treat for fans of the genre, and its existence goes to show how much time and effort went into making the silly comic gem.
