Excellent, Without a doubt!!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

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

I love this movie. I have seen it so many times I've lost count. Ridiculous, over the top, hilarious and heartwarming. Brilliant acting and chemistry from the leads and some hilarious one liners all add to the madness and fun. Okay, so the premise is not entirely original but the twist of it being on ice is a fun touch and some of the moves choreographed are epic. The lead males are so ridiculously opposed in personalities but the bond they form is very well carried out and plausible by the end. I recommend anyone who loves off the wall humour sees this, particularly any Ferrell fans out there. A lot of people say this movie is too dumb because the humour is too over the top to be taken seriously.. Yes- it IS tacky, cheesy, over the top in many parts- that's the point. It's supposed to be. Ironically,to those labelling this kind of comedy as suitable only for those with an IQ of zero.. If you can be smart enough in your wits grasp the deliberate nature of this type of humour, you will get it's appeal.

With Will Ferrel on the cast, one could have expected something more quirky. Blades of Glory turns out to be quite consensual, and you feel the absurdity characterizing Ferrel's movies should have been really pushed much further.Still, the movie is very dynamic with no overlong passages, and the plot unfolds smoothly. Of course, the story is very simple but entertaining, and the gags punctuate very well the events, even though they are not hilarious.Ferrel is good as always and the skating duo had a good chemistry. The direction is a bit off due to some cheap special effects, but this is also the charm of the movie.

Blades of Glory presents comedy on ice. It's the story of Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy, two rival ice skaters, who are banned from competition after a podium brawl at an Olympic event. After a loophole in the rulebook is discovered, the pair join forces to reclaim their rightful position at the top of the skating ranking yet again.The Ferrell-Heder duo is a fantastic combination and the script is filled with homo-eroticism. The comedy ensues as they each try to come to terms with each others choices of lifestyle. Ferrell's motto on life being 'I'm a sex addict. It's my cross to bear,' and Heder, 'If you can dream it, you can do it.' The skating scenes are a spectacular sight on their own, and add a touch of spandex, sequences and diamonds.Let's face it any movie with Will Ferrell is bound to be funny. Not my favourite film of his, but still worth the watch.
