Blades of Glory

Release date: 30 March 2007 (Canada)

Will Ferrell and Jon Heder star in this irreverent tale of two single men's figure skating champions who team up as a couple in a pairs competition. Will Speck and Josh Gordon direct this madcap caper that has plenty of laugh-out-loud scenes. As a satire of the figure skating world in America is doesn't quite hit the mark, partly because the figure skating world in America is so befuddled and amusing in itself. That aside, the sheer silliness and zaniness of the film and Ferrell's subtle knack of knowing just how far to go with his usual shtick make this film an amusing ride for a Saturday night after one too many glasses of chardonnay.

My rating 7 out of 10.
