The humour was all sex-related. It would be awkward for teens to watch this movie with parents, or girls with guys. If real life people were like this, you'd be laughing at them, not with them, but you'd be feeling like you shouldn't be looking.
This movie is one of my all time favorites. Every scene has unexpected lines and unlimited laughs. I have watched this movie well over 25 times and still have not gotten tired of it. One of the best parts about this film is the “quotability” of it. Almost every line in the movie can be quoted and be funny. The three reasons I like this film are because of the entertainment aspect, the acting/actors, and the story.
Entertainment- this movie is funny the entire way through the movie. Every scene keeps me laughing through the next. There are many unexpected jokes as well that happen throughout.
Acting- the acting in the movie is AWESOME! How the directors managed to get any shots without the actors laughing is unbelievable. The actors say things that are completely random and funny. They keep the audience engaged throughout the movie. I remember the first time I watched this movie I was always thinking, “what are they going to do next?” Each time I was surprised by what they did and laughed because of it.
Storyline- the storyline in this movie was not important the first time I watched it. Every time I watch this movie I understand more of the movie and more of why they do what they do. The story gets a little sidetracked at times, but is for comedic effects and works well.
This movie isn't for kids under 16, but it is funny for those who are.
they should specify exactly what sexual situations are in this, it states references and situations. What exactly would that mean for a person who is debating for their kid to see it.
Well, I have to say that this movie was rather funny. However, I saw the unrated version of this movie, and I have to say it's not a movie for my age-group. There is no nudity if that helps....
Just my two cents,

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+
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.
