Pros: The whole production is stupid, silly and fun
Cons: Not everyone will like stupid, silly fun
Summary: My, oh, my. The things we learn just by going to a simple movie. My recent foray to the theater to see Blades of Glory lent the following insights: 1) It would appear that I will laugh at Will Farrell without a shirt under almost any ... read more

Pros: Hilarious, dry humor.
Cons: If you don't *get* dry humor, you won't GET IT.
Summary: **THIS MOVIE REVEALS MINOR DETAILS ABOUT THE MOVIES PLOT...** I've read numerous Epinions regarding "Blades of Glory", and agree yet disagree with what I've read. Thus far, I've seen this movie three times, and I've laughed ... read more

Pros: The jokes and the comedic performances
Cons: Weak, weak, weak plot and character development
Summary: Introduction: I wasn't too hot on Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby though that was certainly one of Ferrell's best improvized, over-the-top comedies. Blades of Glory is a hugely entertaining follow-up. Plot ... read more

Pros: -LOL parts throughout the movie
-Lack of complete predictability
-Shows human's ability to positively change
Cons: -A few unnecessary crude jokes/innuendoes
-May be inappropriate for very young children
Summary: This film definitely realizes the difference between stupid funny and just too stupid. There are multiple entertaining parts and very a few that take it too far. Overall its definitely worth a watch, particularly in theaters with the community of crack ... read more

Pros: Funny concept, fun skate scenes, good cameos
Cons: underutilized talent. too tame character development
Summary: I judge a comedy based on my proprietary "Asthma Inhaler" Scale. The scale goes from 1 to 5, with 5 being the funniest movie conceivable. Why the Asthma Inhaler scale? Because the only time I get an asthma attack is if I laugh too hard. To give you ... read more

Pros: Running time isn't lengthy
Cons: It's just not very funny
Summary: It’s Saturday Night Live on ice. And I’m not talking about the good ol’ days of Saturday Night Live, but the show that’s on now where almost nothing is funny. “Blades of Glory” has a few moments but it’s really just stupid and ... read more

Pros: Amusing chase sequence. Jenna Fischer.
Cons: Not consistently funny. No reason to care about the characters.
Summary: There’s nothing wrong with making an excessively silly movie. Sometimes it can be great to just sit back and laugh without concern for the deeper issues of the moment. In the past, movies such as The 40 Year Old Virgin and The Nutty ... read more

Pros: Ferrell, Heder, and Nelson turn in solid comic performances
Cons: Some jokes don't work; pacing is a bit frenetic
Summary: Will Ferrell has brought his comic touch to several roles involving sports. He's been a soccer coach and a NASCAR driver. In Blades Of Glory, he shifts gears to play a figure skater. Ferrell stars as Chazz Michael Michaels, a star of the ice ... read more

Apr 07 '07
Pros: Fodder for a really funny film.
Cons: Missed the mark over and over.
Summary: We piled into the non-PC SUV and headed out to see Blades of Glory which sounded like a great lowbrow flick. Seriously, when you have Will Ferrell paired with Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) for a couples ice skating team, then you know that you’re not ... read more

Apr 07 '07
Pros: Ferrell (mostly), some funny jokes, mascot abuse!
Cons: Heder isn't quite as strong, too much potty humour
Summary: Will Ferrell is very hit or miss for me. There are times he's hilarious and times that he's extremely dumb. Then there are movies like Blades of Glory which are funnier than they have any right to be but still kind of dumb. I went into this ... read more

Apr 07 '07
Pros: funny, inventive, multi-layered
Cons: some subplots don't work, not everybody likes Ferrell dark
Summary: There are two kinds of Will Ferrell films, just as there are two kinds of Will Ferrell fans. If you liked Elf, you're in one group. If you liked Anchorman, you're in the other. The first group is larger. They love Ferrell's innocent silliness, his ... read more

Pros: Will Arnett rules
Cons: It's not as funny as Ferrell's previous movies
Summary: Blades of Glory stars Will Ferrell (Talladega Nights) and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) as two swashbuckling knights who wield their mighty swords in the name of truth and justice…just kidding…it’s actually about a couple of male ... read more

Pros: Very entertaining.
Cons: There's nothing that I would really consider a con.
Summary: My boyfriend and some friends wanted to see this movie, but I'm not a huge fan of comedies. However, I finally caved in and went to see it with them. Surprisingly, this movie had me laughing a lot more than I thought I would. The plot is decent. A lot ... read more

Apr 01 '07
Pros: very funny, riffs on many different aspects of skating, parody of The Cutting Edge
Cons: Ferrell infrequently goes too far, the actors are all too old to be figure skaters
Summary: Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy hate each other. One's a loudmouth, athletic, showboat, the other pampered, delicate, artistic, and shy. They skate to a tie at Nationals and neither can hold in their animosity at the medal ceremony. A brawl ... read more

Pros: Funny moments throughout, tons of star and figure skater cameos, decent acting
Cons: Some humor falls flat, too many crotch jokes
Summary: The hubby and I felt in the mood for a few laughs today and didn’t mind sitting through a good bit of mediocrity to get to them. We decided to take on Blades of Glory even though initial reviews have been ho-hum. In the end, we did find ... read more
