Nobody out scoops or out catchphrases Ron Burgundy, he's San Diego's numero uno anchorman, loved by the public almost as much as he's loved by himself. This being the 1970s and Ron, being a raging but oblivious misogynist, is thrown into freefall by the arrival of a female anchor, a meltdown that not even his dim-witted and equally bigoted newsroom buddies can save him from. "Anchorman" is Will Ferrell's most successful attempt yet to take the lead in a film and though it drags on occasion there are moments of comic genius, the West Side Story…esque stand-off being one of them.
