Anchorman

Two things about Anchorman stand out in my head, in retrospect:

1) the ten minute potion of the movie, about an hour in where it devolves into violence. Newsteam on Newsteam violence, then Ferell on Applegate violence. Both are hilarious, but nothing is more hilarious than Steve Carell as Brick killing that guy with a trident. Oh, goodness, that's funny.

2) When Will Ferrell is imagining his future life with Christina Applegate, and she's been "polishing your Emmys and cooking dinner nude" all day. She's wearing a type of apron, though. But when she slaps Ferell, you get some side-boob. And it bounces.

I note these two things because these two things because 1) shows you what kind of humor you're getting, throughout, and 2) was awesome. No, really, though, 2) perfectly encapsulates the target audience for the movie. I can't imagine anyone that wasn't excited by bouncing Applegate side-boob would like this movie.

As for me, I give it a 6/10.

A 4 or 5 /10 if it weren't for Steve Carell, though.  

The Loop

The Loop is also not for everyone. The Loop is kind of dumb. But funny.

Sample plots: Sam needs to work on a presentation on his new low-cost airline, but instead participates in a tequila challenge. Sam wants to take a girl on a date that he previously abandoned, but has to fly to China for work. Yep, it's all about a young executive trying to balance work and play. A good time, so says I.

The Loop returns for season two on June 10th on Fox.

5/10.
