“Blades of Glory” tells the story of figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder). Both Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy get banned from figure skating after the two disrupt a presentation of medals by getting in a fight. The banned figure skaters encounter misery in their lives after figure skating. Well, at least until an obsessive fan of Jimmy MacElroy discovers a loophole in the ban. The ban, technically, only prohibited the two figure skaters from participating in singles. Therefore, Michaels and MacElroy, quite grudgingly, decide to become the first male-male figure skating pair in the history of the sport, in order to once again feel the ice underneath their skates.
Overall, “Blades of Glory” is a fun movie. Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, and the rest of the cast does a good job in providing humor. The movie’s humor even transcends the script, into casting. For example, Craig T. Nelson, famous for playing a high school football coach on television, plays the ice skating coach of Jimmy MacElroy in the film.
While funny, “Blades of Glory” proves to be nothing exceptional. Don’t feel the need to go out of your way to watch “Blades of Glory”. However, if you stumble upon “Blades of Glory” as you flip through the stations on the tube put down the remote and enjoy a few laughs.
