2004, Movie, PG-13, 91 mins

This just in: Will Ferrell and director Adam McKay's clever send-up of the chauvinistic attitudes in the dark days before sexual-harassment lawsuits may cause hysterical fits of laughter — stay tuned for further details. The premise is faintly ridiculous, its exaggeration of 1970s fashion and hair disasters is pretty over the top and barely four minutes into the film Ferrell has already stripped to his skivvies.

But in his latest film, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, the former Saturday Night Live cut-up says he attempted to peel back the emotional layers to reveal the heartache hidden beneath his title character's pompous exterior. Seriously. "Ron enjoys the mantle of being San Diego's No. 1 news guy," Ferrell says.
