‘Blades Of Glory’ Movie Review
Starring: Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, and Jenna Fischer.
Synopsis: Perhaps nowhere in sports is the marriage of athleticism and grace more evident than in the arena of world champion pairs figure skating, the lifts, the jumps, the routines. When the macho, swaggering Chazz Michael Michaels takes to the rink, he is the rock star of the arena, leaving a trail of thrashed ice and shrieking female fans in his wake.
The only competitor who can match Michaels’ scores is the driven former child prodigy, Jimmy MacElroy. Michaels and MacElroy have met in finals rounds before, but their latest head-to-head at the World Championships, when they tie for first, is more than either one can bear, and their longstanding rivalry erupts into a no-holds-barred fight.
The ensuing brawl not only sets fire to the World Championships helpless mascot, but lands both athletes in hot water. Chazz and Jimmy are called before the sports governing board, stripped of their gold medals and banned from the sport for life. Now, three-and-a-half years later, both men are still trying to find their way in a world without competitive skating. To skate again, all Chazz and Jimmy have to do is set aside their long festering hatred of one another and join forces, as the first male/male figure skating pair to compete in the history of the sport.
Review: Well I’m sure most of you can expect to laugh alot. What with the mix of humor from both Ferrell and Heder what could be better. This movie doesn’t need much of a review. After all we know that it isn’t a spectacular movie.
It’s a true comedy that won’t bore you too much. There are enough laughs in it to keep you going and interested.
