Anchorman

April 4, 2005 - A 2004 comedy written by and starring Will Ferrell and Christina Applegate. Smaller roles to some SNL cast members, and cameos by Tim Robbins, Luke Wilson and Ben Stiller.

Ferrell plays Ron Burgundy, a TV news anchor in 1970's San Diego. He and his chauvinistic news team are on top of the world until Veronica Corningstone (Applegate) shows up. The station has hired her as a reporter to add "diversity."

Overall review: Half a star. The half star is for Applegate, who tries to bring some dignity to this film. But mostly, it's ridiculous, non-sensical and unfunny. It's just bad.
