Customer Reviews:

It's all very silly humour but you can't help but laugh at it (29 September 2008)
Although billed as a film about a 1970s TV news team, in many ways this film is simply a load of very funny comic sketches joined together into the format of a film. The central plot is very light at best and is really just a vehicle for Will Ferrell's off-the-wall humour. Ferrell and the rest of the cast are all in their element delivering a mixture of satire and slap stick, with some very offbeat but hilarious moments, the news team spontaneously breaking out into an a capella rendition of "Afternoon Delight" being particularly memorable.

Some of the comedy is at times quite childish and a few jokes do fall flat, but there are so many other laugh out loud moments that you almost don't notice the more unfunny jokes.

If you like Will Ferrell you'll definitely like this film, if you're not a Ferrell fan then this may not be your cup of tea, but as an off-the-wall comedy I'd still recommend it.

The 70's are fun! (29 July 2008)
With all the bad fashion, bad hair and bad catch phrases you could ever want this film serves up every cliche associated with a classic 70's flick.

Scenes like the jazz flute playing exlpoits of Ron, the tampering of the autocue and the fight scene between rival news teams really are silly beyond belief.

Thoroughly recommended.

Gets slightly better as it goes along (03 July 2008)
Starts off completely devoid of laughs, but builds up to be moderately entertaining. Steve Carell is noteworthy as a weatherman with an IQ of 48 who doesn't know his own name. Highlight is the multi-news team battle scene. Daft, but funny.

the legend "not" (03 June 2008)
this film was not my cup of tea it did have some parts that made me laugh but i wouldnt watch it again it was strange.

Tries very hard, very hard indeed (27 May 2008)
I guess this is a fairly early Apatow effort, and there's plenty on display here that points to his better, later work, such as Knocked Up. There is a big problem with it, though, in my opinion: it just isn't funny. Three of us - all with varied / good senses of humour - sat through it, and there were just too many parts where they really tried but failed to elicit a laugh. The scene that redeems it, in my opinion, is the cologne scene, which I think is hilarious. You could watch that 5 min part, skip the rest and still get value for money from say £3, but other than that, there ain't much there to enjoy.
