Blades of Glory
The life of two talented skate men who after a great argument between them that leads them to be banned from the final competition, the thing that makes their sorrow, has been changed completely, when they learn that they have been banned from the single competition, but they have the right to compete in the double competition, so they have to cooperate.

This really shouldn't have taken five writers and two directors, especially considering the splendor costume designer Julie Weiss achieves all by herself. But it's not bad for such a thoroughly unitarded concept.

Personable enough, though genuine belly laughs are in short supply.

Blissfully silly, triumphantly tasteless and improbably hilarious.

Blades of Glory doesn't get the gold, in fact, I think they just miss out on the bronze.

Thin, monotonous

After Ferrell's manchild partners with a fey figure-skating rival (Heder), it's strictly uninspired buddy-comedy bickering.

If they gave Oscars for Best Performance by a Comedic Actor playing an endearingly clueless oaf in a sports comedy... Will Ferrell would be up for the Lifetime Achievement Award by now.

No guts and no glory, and not much in the way of comedy, either.

I can't imagine what circumstances would lead me to watch the film, in its entirety, a second time. But I'm glad I saw it once.

Blades Of Glory does what a good Ferrell vehicle is supposed to do -- it strings enough good bits together to keep the tissue-paper story from tearing, and it comes in at 90 minutes. And that's as close to sticking the landing as it's going to get.

Ferrell isn't breaking new ground, but one day -- when he's branching out to play psycho killers and getting in touch with his inner Thespian -- we'll look back on his clowning period and wonder why he would want to do anything else.
