Blades of Glory: starring Will Ferrell, and Jon Heder (the guy from Napoleon Dynamite) provided a smorgasbord of humorous and disturbing imagery to dazzle the mind. The scenes in this movie will have the audience genuinely chuckle, cry and cringe every couple of minutes, which is impressive as most movies nowadays which try to be funny just end up being stupid and lame. The combination of these two actors, was quite brilliant because, to be quite frank, these guys are pretty much willing to do anything for a laugh.
The storyline, whilst simple, I found it to be very entertaining because…c’mon, two men…grown men, wearing flamboyant costumes and competing in paired ice-skating…who doesn’t want to see that? If you just put your hand up, you’re lying. The execution of the two main characters by Ferrell and Heder was excellent. Ferrell, being a raw, and untamed male, being coupled with Heder, who was ultra prissy, and borderline gay, was hilarious. The movie was masterfully scripted with many memorable quotes and will have most in stitches. If there were one thing worth seeing, it would definitely be the ending. I won’t give it away, but I can confidently say that it will leave you in shock, awe, and probably have you scratching your head as it is that incomprehensibly wonderful. It is comparable to seeing that magic trick where the magician pours water into a bucket, and when he goes to throw it at you, only confetti comes out. You don’t know what the hell just happened, but you know it was freaking cool, and you want to see it again.
V^3 gives Blades of Glory 5/5
