Review: Anchorman

Posted by: Tom Milroy  •  July 9, 2004 @ 11:59am

Make no mistake, Anchorman is far from being the perfect movie, but do you know what? It made me laugh, and at just over 90 minutes, it doesn't take up too much of your time.

Posted by: Mark McLeod  •  June 30, 2004 @ 11:59am

Noah, a man of extreme simple pleasures, worked at the lumber yard for 40 cents an hour, while Allie went to a fancy school, had all of life's amenities, and summered in the small town of Seabrook, North Carolina.
