What Parents Need to Know
About Anchorman
Parents need to know that although your kids may love Will Ferrell, this is not Elf. The movie has extremely mature material for a PG-13, even for this "slob comedy" genre. Characters use very strong language and there are especially graphic sexual references and situations. The movie has comic peril and violence. One character's arms are hacked off and others are killed.

Very Funny, for kids 12 and up
Anchorman has a unpredictable humor level. Some moments of the movie had me rolling in laughter, and other parts had me bored. I would recommend this movie for anyone over 12. There are many sexual jokes (ex. one guy has a hugh erection) there is little violence (a medieval-like battle between different news stations, where one guy had his arm cut off (funny, not scary) and his other arm is eaten by a bear (again, funny, not scary) There is one f-word (6 in the unrated version) and the sh-word a couple of times. The men in the movie are all extremely sexist, but in the end everyone lives happily ever after.

Completely 100% Hilarious!
Anchorman is honestly one of the funniest comedies I have seen in recent memory. It's really dumb and silly, but in a hilarious way, and actually it's surprisingly clever at times. I just loved it, I thought it was a great comedy with a great cast and a few of the funniest scenes I have ever seen in a movie. Steve Carrel just cracked me up as the incredibly stupid weatherman. But as far as content goes, this is pretty R-rated at times. I'm fairly surprised it escaped with a PG-13 rating! Not for kids, and probably not even for younger teens, but it's a great movie you should definitely see. Good for kids 14 or 15+
