September 14, 2009A very funny film with some brilliant lines. Ferrell has never been better (I hate most of his other films) but it's Carell who steals the show.

July 18, 2009This could be Ferrels best, its so well done,the whole 70's look with the tash and hair is brilliant. The rival news teams and the street fight, their silly sign offs, Steve Carrel is amazingly funny and the sexist pot shots are hilarious. So un-pc but thats the point hahaha the ...( read more)

May 27, 2009I generally find this brand of humor tasteless, but found this movie somehow excusable because it seems to understand and enjoy the fact that it is tasteless and juvenile.

November 7, 2009This takes place on that group of things that make feel strange. I hear everyone around me saying that Will Ferrell is a great comedian and I can't see him like that. I just can't laugh with him.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
It has a pleasing, noodly elasticity about it -- the picture knows what its limits are and proceeds to boogie unself-consciously far outside them. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
While the film is sporadically funny, it was done much better on the small screen, decades ago. full review

Edward Havens, FilmJerk.com
While malapropisms and anachronisms do have their places in cinematic comedy, it's very tough to make them the foundation for a story. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
It is not as maniacally uninhibited as Old School or as dementedly lovable as Elf, but its cheerful dumbness is hard to resist. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today

David Edelstein, Slate
You're not laughing at anchormen. You're laughing at formula movie rituals blown sky-high. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Funny in a roly-poly, shapeless way. Sort of like Ferrell's gut. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
It's difficult to resist a hero who believes that the name San Diego, derived from German, means "whale's vagina." full review
