They bring you the news so you don't have to get it yourself.
It's the 1970s and San Diego anchorman Ron Burgundy is the top dog in local TV, but that's all about to change when ambitious reporter Veronica Corningstone arrives as a new employee at his station.

Didn't find it as funny this time, especially the first half hour orso was kinda boring to me. But Steve Carell is AMAZING and the standoff with Ben Stiller was also great.
No full blown review for this one, since I only saw the first 2/3rds on cable in a hotel room with commercial interruptions. But I gotta say, this one holds up in terms of sheer comic absurdity and a lot of great comedians pitching their fastball here. The laughs are plentiful and ridiculous, and you can even see the roots of Adam McKay's style that would carry over to his more dramatic films. I loved this movie to pieces as a teenager, and I was worried it wouldn't hold up (and frankly, there's some parts that do make you cringe a bit almost two decades later), but the comedy's still stupendous and it's just a fun movie to flip on and laugh your way through, even chopped up with ads while channel flipping.

Might be the most quotable movie of all time. This movie took the world by storm and I remember being rewatching and quoting it all the time for years. It is still hilarious 2 decades later and will forever be a classic in our home.
