Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

cegentner This movie has a storyline that you wouldn't think would be one from a Will Ferrell movie. This actor normally plays macho guys with uber masculine personalities and professions, but this film features him as a professional ice skater. He does put a bit of masculinity in his character, which is portrayed in the very first scene with his first performance shown in the movie. This different, yet same, character portrayal by Ferrell was a great change that I enjoyed watching. I also thought it was very interesting to see Ferrell star with Jon Heder in this film. The two actors have particularly different styles when it comes to comedy; Ferrell's is more inappropriate humor, while Heder has more of a weird and quirky style. This film seems to combine these two styles in a hilarious manner, creating a wider range of humor for the audience. The plot of this film was pretty different, but also somewhat basic (they're in a competition, they have rivals, there's a romantic interest). What really makes it hilarious are the unique characters of Jimmy and Chazz, and other characters like the Van Waldenburg siblings, Jimmy's number one fan, and the pair's coach (played by Craig T Nelson). This movie is a very quotable one, and is the perfect mix of Jon Heder's quirky and Will Ferrell's classic humor.

funkyjuju I really can't emphasise enough how much I love this film. I have watched it countless times and I still enjoy every second of it. It's funny, fast-paced, and incredibly quotable.With a lot of modern American comedies, I find that they focus a lot on slap-stick or toilet humour which I personally find dull and stupid. Now I'm not saying that this film is full of witty, clever jokes but, oh my god, it is SO funny. Blades of Glory is unpretentious with its jokes but it hits the nail on the head every time.The main thing is that the characters by themselves are funny. It's not just one humorous character surrounded by a bunch of normal people. Everyone is a laugh in their own way.The film is just pure fun, it's one of my favourite films, and I really believe it to be one of the best comedies ever made!
