Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Blades of Glory is a film that I loved when I was younger but for those films I usually re watch them and change my mind on them like the Friday The Thirteenth reboot and if you see my review on it, you can easily tell that my thoughts have drastically changed but with this film and I'm a lot older from when I first saw it and I now understand the more mature jokes and general humour used and I still like it a lot.The story is actually quite creative and inventive. The plot centers around two rival men's figure skaters, Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy get banned after fighting after both getting

Will Ferrell has always been hit or miss for me. He's great in Stepbrothers and A Night At the Roxbury but just painfully bad in films like Get Hard. Luckily Blades of Glory is the perfect fit for him and he shines alongside Jon Heder in this ridiculous figure skating comedy.The movie centers around a fictional figure skating culture where outrageous stars win the hearts of the audience with outlandish routines and acts. Will Ferrell plays the rock star figure skater who is forced to pair up with the classically trained Jon Heder in order to compete as the first ever male figure-skating pair after an incident forced them away from the singles scene. Opposite them is the sibling figure skate-match up of Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, each as funny and ridiculous as Ferrell and Heder. Blades of Glory works because it revels in its made up figure skating culture and playing to the actors and themes strengths without going completely overboard. It's no comedy for the ages, but it is a comedy good for a lot of laughs.

First things first, I don't care for Will Ferrell in 99% of his movies, that being said this film falls into the 1% category (Far from the rubbish Talladega Nights and pretty close to the excellent Night at the Roxbury). Despite what should be a lame and uninteresting 'sport' to base a movie on I found myself really enjoying the ridiculousness of everything, from the themed outfits and routines to the childish arguments between Ferrell and Heder.This movie is far from perfect but it put a bigger smile on my face than I expected and even made me laugh out loud a few times. Derek.This is a parody of sports films and parody means to make fun of and that's where this film like all other Will Ferrell film fails, it is not in the least bit funny. James.

In the words of Dave Chappelle, "I wish I had more hands, so I could give this movie four thumbs down."The humor in this film is suitable for the audience of preteen boys,the humor is not witty, but immature funny aka stupid funny, however, not the good kind. I swear it is one of the worst films I have ever watched. I detest when I walk into the bedroom and see this on the television with my husband watching it. Awful. If I had a time machine I would have dedicated my life to preventing the creation of this horrible film.Will Ferrell plays the same role and character as he always does, but in this film he defies odds to prove he is not homophobic. This film points jokes at the sport of professional ice skating, all while making the viewer embarrassed and violated from the eye rape that this film does to their sensitive eyeballs. The feathered hair, the corny, overdone outfits, the glitter, the leather, gross. If you are looking for a film where adults play the role of complete idiots, show the brain function of kindergarteners, and full of humor that your children will find downright the funniest thing ever, this is your film.
