Will Ferrell stars as Ron Burgundy, an anchor at a local TV station in 1970s San Diego. His position is threatened by ambitious newscaster Veronica Corningstone, played by Christina Applegate, who joins the station as Burgundy's fellow anchor. Burgundy at first welcomes Veronica, thinking she's going to be covering “women's†stories, such as cat fashion shows and the like. But when her journalistic skills begin to overshadow Burgundy, the senior newsman realizes he has to fight to retain his position, and the war of the anchors begins.
Will Ferrell has demonstrated in recent roles that he can play the poignant as well as the funny. That facility has also lent a certain gravitas to his presence in films that was absent before, one which, ironically, has made the comedy funnier (as well as rendering Ferrell far less annoying on-screen). All of which makes Anchorman a film with a great deal of potential on paper. Add to that a cast that includes Fred Willard and Vince Vaughn (who has been demonstrating his own rather impressive comedy chops of late), cameos by the likes of Ben Stiller, Stephen Root and Jack Black, and DreamWorks has itself a pretty little comedy package for 2004.
