"Anchorman" is playing on my TV... I think it really sucks. |
|
Why? Why do SNL players have such a hard time coming up with decent movies? (Yeah, there are some exceptions. But overall, they don't do much for me.)

1. I didn't like it that much either, but |
|
I thought Elf was hilarious. So it's not Will Farell that made it suck.

5. It was hokey, no doubt, but how can you not laugh at |
|
You're not Santa! You smell like beef and cheese. You sit atop a throne of lies.
For some reason it just cracked me up :)

2. It does. Contrast it with "Elf". HUGE difference. |
|
It's all about the script, and way too many funny actors think they can write but can't.
Ah, for Phil Hartman to come back...

i liked that tv anchor rumble :D "no commercials, no mercy"
but its in the "mindless humor" category, along with "old school" "van wilder" and the other "teen comedies"
edit: ^that's a SHITLOAD of quotation marks

8. It was a huge dissapointment |
|
Mainly because I actually bought the damned thing. They promoted it to death and it had such a promising premise, but it's totally worthless. Sadly, there's some very talented people involved in it and even they couldn't save it. I'm sure the news team gang fights in the alley looked hilarious on paper but it should've been obvious in the cutting room that it didn't work. And - what the hell was Ben Stiller thinking???? He usually has better sense than this.

9. I laughed my arse off at it |
|
Every punch line was perfectly timed and set up-it really didn't matter what they said and it appears that they made the punch lines up as they went along.
Steve Carell with the hand grenade almost finished me off.

With the comedy tag-team of Will Ferrell, Steve Carell and David Koechner, how could you go wrong?:thumbsup:
