Rented "Anchorman-Legend of Ron Burgundy". Very overrated.
The movie is a boy meets girl, loses girl, loses dog, loses job to girl, gets all back story. It has very, very few funny moments, in fact at times it looks like the cast tries to hard to make something seem funny and in doing so just makes it worse.
I feel the movie could have been funnier if it had gone in a different direction. Perhaps, allowing the audience to truly see more of the "news" crew and develop the characters more. This movie felt almost like a sequel, where you should know the subplots like the rivalries between the other news anchors, or the news directors dysfunctional family.
Truly if the movie had focussed on the station at first and then added this as a sequel perhaps it would have been more amusing to watch. As it happens now, the movie is bogged down in trying to find a direction and trying to get you to care about characters that you have no familiarity with and refuses to truly introduce you to fully.
Overall the movie rates a 4 out of 10. IF it had been a sequel, it quite possibly could have ranked higher.
