He and his all male news team rule the city with their sauve looks, minimal IQ's and unbelievably bad hair. In Ron's world, women don't belong in the newsroom. So when rising star reporter Veronica Corningstone fills in for Ron one night and the ratings soar, it becomes more than a battle ... it becomes war.

Brian Fantana: [about Veronica] I'll give this little cookie an hour before we're doing the no-pants dance. Time to musk up. [opens cologne cabinet] Ron Burgundy: Wow. Never ceases to amaze me. What cologne you gonna go with? London Gentleman, or wait. No, no, no. Hold on. Blackbeard's Delight. Brian Fantana: No, she gets a special cologne... It's called Sex Panther by Odeon. It's illegal in nine countries... Yep, it's made with bits of real panther, so you know it's good. Ron Burgundy: It's quite pungent. Brian Fantana: Oh yeah. Ron Burgundy: It's a formidable scent... It stings the nostrils. In a good way. Brian Fantana: Yep. Ron Burgundy: Brian, I'm gonna be honest with you, that smells like pure gasoline.

Add a CommentRevised - this movie had some good laugh moments and cameos. You'll enjoy it more if you have something to drink first.
Hilarious watch! If you're over 14 and love comedies, you'll laugh through the entire thing!
Great movie, a must see for Will Ferrell fans. The fight scenes are hilarious! Great cast, impossible not to make you laugh.
This is a really funny movie. There are appearances by famous people (Danny Trejo a.k.a. Machete, Vince Vaughn, Jack Black, Ben Stiller etc.). It is a ridiculous movie, but it is really funny. This is definitely worth seeing.
Not a Will Ferrell fan, at all (I find that man incredibly unfunny, especially in his modern works), but this film is still fairly entertaining, mostly because of the supporting cast. As a feminist, I feel I should hate this film, but I don't. If nothing else, it's at least the most tolerable.
Hilarious movie about a famous anchorman who reads everything of the teleprompter!
Fair - Bias: I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell and this film did not endear me to him at all. One unfunny scene after another.
First off- if you like Will Ferrell's ridiculousness- this is a movie for you. I had originally borrowed this movie as a "meh- it can't be that bad" of an impulse. I'm certainly glad I borrowed it because it was WAY beyond my expectations. It was random and spontaneous - and if you like that- give this movie a chance!
