Anchorman
Directed by Adam McKay1h 35m2004
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.
Our read: Anchorman (2004) reads as a cosy, breathless, inventive comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
Cosy, breathless, gentle comedy, inventive in texture. Ambivalent, intimate, measured.
