Every Adam McKay & Steve Carell Movie, Ranked From Worst To Best

While director Adam McKay and star Steve Carell have collaborated four times, their movie projects could not be more different. McKay first directed Carell in 2004’s comedy cult classic Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Although the movie was a star vehicle for Will Ferrell, Anchorman proved a huge success for Carell as well. While Ferrell was already a comedy A-lister thanks to 2003’s Elf, Carell’s hysterical supporting character Brick Tamland made him Anchorman‘s breakout star. This role, alongside 2005’s The Forty-Year-Old Virgin, cemented Carell’s status as a comedy superstar. McKay and Carell wouldn’t collaborate again until 2013’s Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues.
