Wednesday Movie Night: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

With the recent release of the second movie about Ron Burgundy I figured it was a good idea to check out the first one. I wasn't sure what to expect considering Will Ferrell can be a hit or miss, and that this movie was intended to be a really silly movie. With a good dose of a buzz though, and a nicely timed comedic movie though, this one works to be a comedy hit. I also have had Afternoon Delight stuck in my head since watching the movie.

Summary: Ron Burgundy sits atop the best of San Diego's newsman, but that is about to change. Him and his male-dominated crew are quite rude and crude when Veronica Corningstone arrives at the station. They also all are set on winning a date with her, which Burgundy achieves himself. Things turn ugly though when he discovers that Corningstone won't let their relationship risk her getting to the top of the news station as a newswoman. Now Burgundy's career could be threatened if the crowd loves her more.
