No nudity.

Saw it last night (Friday) in packed theatre. Verdict? Funny, but no Elf.

The structure was really loose, as if it was mostly improvised off a thin script.

Brick cracked me up everytime. And Ferrell was really hilarious when he was being an utter chauvenist jackass.

The movie has a Bill Curtis narration, like an A&E special (Bill Curtis was a network anchorman himself), which is used sporadically and unconvincingly. There are lot's of cameos that aren't as funny as the actors could have been (for God's sake, don't spoil them in this thread!). And some of the gags are too much like "gags", but it's fun to see, like an extended SNL showcase.

The movie probably best compares to The Wedding Singer and Adam Sandler movies. If you liked that, you'll probably like Anchorman.

Also, after the credits are finished, there's an additional scene.
