Blades of Glory stars Wil Ferrell and Jon Heder who portray singles skaters who fight during a competition and become banned from male singles ice skating. Eventually they become pair skaters becoming the first male pair skaters. This film is jammed packed with corny jokes and unrealistic situations but it is hilarious. Ferrell and Heder make a great comedy team and should think about making a Blades of Glory 2.

Ferrell has many hit and miss movies. It seems to rely on who is in the film with him that he can work well with. For instance, Talladega Nights and Step Brothers were good films for Ferrell since John C. O’Reilly co-starred with him. Semi Pro was one of Ferrell’s worst films and it is probably due to lack of chemistry with his co-star.

Blades of Glory was released in 2007 and is often played on cable. It is completely silly but offers many laughs. Many of the great ice skaters took part in this film and were able to laugh at themselves which made the scenes even funnier. Scott Hamilton played a large part in being an announcer and was surprisingly able to get through his scenes without looking obvious he was holding back laughing. I simply love this film and can watch it over and over again.
