After seeing Anchorman tonight, it has occurred to me that either I should lighten up ... or the movie was spotty ... everyone had their moments of funny-ness ... There were a ton of comedic cameos (and yes, those were hit and miss too) ... there was constant laughter from a few in the theatre, but for the rest of us, the laughter really shotgunned from spot to spot in the audience
It was funny at times ... well, actually in spots ... I'm sure there were running jokes in there that I should have appreciated a lot more
I think that the movie overall was OK -- the outtake reel was really funny ... it made me think that often good humor requires compression and good editing
It doesn't really work when you're allowed to throw bologna at the wall for two hours and see what sticks ... that's a good summation actually stick and no stick ... middle of the road
