In San Diego back in the 1970s Ron Burgundy is an egotistical and chauvinistic anchor of the local network news. His world begins to crumble when a beautiful and smart female journalist joins the news team. This patchy sketch comedy has some laughs, but far too few. The story is utterly formulaic and the gags are too obvious, too often.
