This movie is fantastic and very funny. A great spoof of the supercebrity persona of most local news anchors, this one set in 1970s San Diego is top story. What can you say when there is a fight of the news teams, including the three network teams, the PBS news team and the Latino news team. The characters are larger than life, their conversations and antics are ridiculous. My wife and I have seen this movie at least a dozen times and it is still very funny and I keep finding new tidbits and background things that are hilarious. This is more potent that Black Panther and better baby making music than a jazz flute. Eventhough the story is silly and the characters are larger than life, none of them are over acted. The bonus material on the DVD is great. There is over 30 minutes of bloopers and deleted scenes. The bloopers are especially funny. The MTV interviews are very funny and the ESPN audition is ludicrous and hysterical. We got ours with a special Breaking News! Best Buy exclusive DVD and it is an adidtional 30 minutes of material that will have you rolling. If you like to laugh, then you want to add this to your collection. It is one of the best comedies to come out in the last 10 years at least.Read full review
There are so many fantastic moments in this film that elevate it to a timeless and classic over the top comedy. Almost every moment is filled with fun and good humour. The multilingual network news brawl is still defiantly the greatest battle scene ever committed to celloid. Super egos, super cool clothes, scotch, a partly animated sex scene, a pregnant panda and jazz flute. Who could ask for more? A great script with so many memorable lines. Stay classy San Diego. I'm kind of a big deal. I killed a guy with a trident. Jazz flute is for little fairy boys. I could go on but it's more fun to watch it and watch it again. Drink it in. It always goes down smooth. All hail Ron and the Channel 4 network news team.
I decided to purchase this particular movie because it was one of my favorite comedies when it came out. Will Farrel is probably one of the best comedians of all time. I absolutely love his movies. I also am a huge fan of Christina Applegate, she is a hilarious comedienne! Both of them together is just a match made in comedy heaven! This is a fantastic buy. On the downside the movie does get a little bit cheeese ball toward the end, but all in all a great buy. I am happy to have this in my DVD coolection. I would recomned this to everyone who is a fan of Will Farrel.
Will Ferrell was at his best here. Hilarious characters, funny story, a very good supporting cast. Non-stop laughs. Lightning in a bottle here, the sequel doesn't even come close to it.
