Movies with multiple narrations

I wanted to check out movies that have more than 1 character doing voice over narration. Any come to mind? I know Sin City has 3 with Dwight, Marv, and Hartigan.

I remember shaking my head when Frank Vincent starts narrating Casino. How many narrators did the movie need?

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy. Most of the movie has that one network anchorman narrating, but one scene has Christina Applegate doing the narration. Seemed kind of out of place.
