Quotes:
[first lines]
Bill Lawson: [narration] There was a time, a time before cable. When the local anchorman reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on TV. This was an age when only men were allowed to read the news. And in San Diego, one anchorman was more man then the rest. His name was Ron Burgundy. He was like a god walking amongst mere mortals. He had a voice that could make a wolverine purr and suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, Ron Burgundy was the balls.

This is by far the funniest movie ever. I went in NOT wanting to see it because some people said it was awful. But I have never laughed in a movie theaters so hard. The people that don't like this movie don't like Will Ferrel. If you don't like his kind of odd quirky humor then you wont like it. Although I don't know how you cant. Even if you don't like Will Ferrel I still cant see how someone could find this movie bad.
Go see it definitely. Some people I know didn't care for it the first time AT ALL but the second time they watched it they loved it. My friend I was with didn't like it at all, but when it came on DVD she watched it again and its now our favorite funny movie. So if you didn't like it in theaters give it another chance because you may like it the second time.If you wanna laugh really hard go see this movie!!!!
