Bill Murray ANCHORMAN: THE LEGEND OF RON BURGUNDY. Directed by Adam McKay. Written by McKay and Will Ferrell. Produced by Judd Apatow. Executive directors David O. Russell and Shauna Robertson. Cinematographer, Thomas Ackerman. Production design, Clayton R. Hartley. Editor, Brent White. Costumes, Debra McGuire. Composer, Alex Wurman. Starring Will Ferrell, with Christina Applegate, Paul Rudd, Steve Carell, David Koechner and Fred Willard. DreamWorks, 2004. PG-13. 130 minutes. I decided to see the new Will Ferrell movie after hearing part of a conversation on NPR’s “Weekend Edition” (7/10) between Elvis Mitchell and longtime NPR commentator Susan Stamberg. Mitchell recent- ly left The New York Times after four years, and is now back with public broadcasting and (I hope) Bravo cable network. Mitchell made talk, while Stamberg giggled. The delight in Stamberg’s voice bolstered my flagging enthu- siasm for summer movies, so I decided what the heck and went to check out Ferrell. Set in an all-male television newsroom in 1970s San Diego, Anchorman celebrates and bemoans the arrival of the station’s first female anchor, Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate). Ferrell and director Adam McKay’s inspired wordplay and gaggle of sight gags sur- round the wisp of a plot involving how Ron Burgundy (Ferrell) and other news anchors don’t cotton to a woman reading the news. Ron, who will read anything on the teleprompter, pitches his pompous voice to an audience he assumes to be devout fans and ends every show with a patronizing, cheesy, “Stay classy, San Diego.” Lending grandiosi- ty to his city’s name, which he later claims to be German for “whale’s vagina,” Ron’s unc- tuous affectation endears while striking just the wrong note. Burgundy’s every attempt to project his shallow personality and overween- ing vanity is humorously pathetic because utterly unconscious, but he is widely loved. Ron’s buddies at the station include a laugh- able investigative reporter named Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd), a non-thinking weatherman called Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), and the bombas- tic and gender-confused sports flack, Champ Kind (David Koechner). They are all pitiful sex- 3161 W.

Veronica, however, is not only gorgeous, but her blonde ambition is tempered with intelligence, education and nerve. The perpetual adolescents are no match for Veronica. From their polyester suits to their mullet hairstyles, the anchormen stick together. One of the funniest sequences has our boys in the wrong part of town for a rumble with a rival team of anchors. As if by telepathy, reporters and news-readers from other television stations arrive on the scene, armed with hilariously cre- ative weaponry, in a wicked parody of Gangs of New York. A formal declaration of rules of the game is followed by a street fight that quickly degenerates into an anything-goes altercation. Ferrell’s comic strength comes from seven years of “Saturday Night Live” sketches, most famously his George W. Bush impersonations, which were enough to make any liberal with a still-beating heart feel good. Ron’s relationship with his little yippy dog is wonderful. He inter- prets his dog’s barks as complex sentences of deep, spiritual communication. Ron admits to his loneliness and insecurities only with his canine pal. He’s hopeless with women, until he realizes Veronica genuinely cares for him. If you can sit through two hours and some minutes of SNL-type routines, this movie is definitely for you. It’s a perfectly mindless summer comedy without a mean streak. Having once known well an ethically chal- lenged, womanizing radio announcer in love with his own dulcet tones and falsely inflated by his fictitious, on-air personality, I give Ferrell an A+ for observation and imitation. While I recently read that cameo perform- ances are passé, apparently no one told Ferrell or McKay. The film benefits from credited and uncredited quick performances by the likes of Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, Tim Robbins, Ben Stiller and Jack Black. Now playing at Cinemark and Cinema World, Anchorman gets an overall grade of B, but many moments are worth remembering. Stay in your seats for the outtakes during the final credits. ew (1115 205 450) 735 1020 ANCHORMAN (PG-13) DIG ✔ (1000 1215 235 510) 755 1015 SIGN UP Moustachio! Hair television, ’70s-style.
