 One more comment....Jun 30, 2010
Truly a funny movie with a lot of sly references to the sport of figure skating made by the commentators to the competitions, Scott Hamilton and Jim Nance. One additional comment-I get a hoot each time a character talks to Craig T. Nelson and calls him 'Coach.' I loved that show, too!
The best sports film of all time...Jun 01, 2010
A brilliantly honest film about organized sports, and ripe with the kinds of attitudes and platitudes that dominate the industry at large. You can have ROCKY, HOOSIERS, RUDY, THE NATURAL and all the rest, because BLADES OF GLORY blows them all away!
Ferrell = Comedy LegendApr 12, 2010
I read a bunch of 1 star reviews to see what people disliked about this movie ...and wow. Some people said it was stupid and then some people even had the nerve to say they don't even like Will Ferrell. Why are you watching this movie if you can't stand the lead actor??? And Will Ferrell's stuff is always stupid ...and that's why it's funny. I would say funnier than Talladega Nights but not as funny as Anchorman. Imagine if the movie was really stupid and absurd I'd much rather watch a really stupid movie than say watching Bewitched ...which is just God awful. (And in that movie Will Ferrell doesn't play the stupid-cocky guy)
 Hilarious, gut-splitting humorApr 04, 2010
This is a laugh-out-loud movie poking good-natured fun at the world of figure skating. The characters are quirky and the skating and skating routines soooo funny! Watch it in a light-hearted mood!

 Ferrell's worst effortApr 03, 2010
Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Farrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) are the two best figure skaters in the world. The former has been described as a leather-clad lothario and sex tornado; the latter a quintessential effeminate figure skating prodigy with questionable sexual orientation. After objectionable scoring (what's new in figure skating?) leads to a gold medal tie, the two can't stand each other enough to share the first-place podium, leading to a sissy fight and a mascot set on fire. The resulting aftermath at the National Skating Federation leaves both skaters banned for life. Oh, the unpredictable dramedy. Where shall she go next?
From there it's The Cutting Edge, with Farrell playing the role of a mullet-sporting D.B. Sweeney with a beer gut and a stomach scar. Meanwhile, Heder unsuccessfully tries to dig out the typecast hole created by Napoleon Dynamite while woefully serving as the more feminine of the pair and making every possible viewer with Moira Kelly had signed on for the parody. It's actually pretty hilarious how similar the two movies are. Untrusting teammates built trust, learn to love the ice again, fight through a tumultuous love triangle, struggle against all odds towards success, and even a ridiculously impossible move - a technique first questioned and later embraced as the saving grace - called the Iron Lotus.
Only in a Will Ferrell parody of ice skating can there be ridiculousness to the level that a figure skater wins an adult film award and comedy can come from a male-male figure skating team, however predictable it may be in its uniqueness. That's where the positives for this movie end and the similarities to The Cutting Edge end.
To start with, Heder can't act. It's understandable for Farrell to act poorly, because he's just being himself in another role. But Heder is so bland that halfway through I was hoping for Pedro to show up with Kip and Uncle Rico. Most of the supporting actors are the types you'd expect to see in this type of movie, but Craig T. Nelson's performance feels about as comfortable as a mid-July "Corduroy Pants Day" at a fat camp in Florida.
What makes it worse is the action shots are painful to watch. The good ones are about as good as an average Three Stooges routine, and the bad ones are like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Minus the budget. BAD wire work. There is little flow or consistency with the movements, and in only one scene - the climactic moment - do semi-decent special effects come into play.
SPECIAL FEATURES
The special features of this disc are mislabeled; there is nothing special within. The making of could have been summarized with "Ben Stiller got drunk and convinced Will Ferrell to join the cast." The "Celebrities" section is essentially a display of how poorly the actors skate. Gag reel, deleted scenes, Bo Bice video...yawn.
Recommendation: Unless you're a ranking member in the Ferrell or Heder fan club, there is just too much stupidity, predictability, and boredom to ignore.
