Watch Blades of Glory For Free

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Blades of Glory is an alright film- kind of like a nice comedy diversion. Based on ice skating it features Jon Heder(Napoleon Dynamite) and Will Ferrell as rival and then partners with completely different mannerisms and personalities. There is some fun in watching them ice skate, but it soon wears off and the laughs are few and far out. Or maybe I never was interested in ice skating, so it flew over my head in some respects. Regardless, if you like Will Ferrell you can give Blades of Glory a watch.

Blades of Glory was an absolute thrill to watch. It takes some intelligence and care to pull off a great comedy and this film certainly does it. The story and direction was great to watch and the cast deliver some of their finest performances. Thoroughly enjoyed and a bit disappointed to see its low rating here on IMDb, guess some folks don't enjoy a big laugh. This film was some of last good films of Will Ferrell as lately his films are quite horrendous and over the top. Blades of glory doesn't try too hard to be funny and ends up hitting it out of the park. The two main cast members have big and different personalities and the film is littered with comedic gold. 8/10

Blades of Glory stars Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as two rival figure skaters, Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy who brawl after an ice skating tournament and end up getting banned for life.However they exploit a loophole that allows them to return in the doubles category, dancing as a same sex couple amongst other mixed couples. However as they hate each other they have to put aside their differences and work together as a team. They also have to beat the reigning champions who are a brother and sister combination and plan to use the deadly Iron Lotus move.The film is a parody of The Cutting Edge which had teaming up of a mismatched and tempestuous pair for ice dancing. It also takes a dig at the campiness of ice skating. Chazz is a macho, a sex addict with a tough style of dancing. You can guess he is based on the 90s Canadian ice skater Elvis Stojko. Jimmy is more fey and artistic.The films make good use of CGI as we actually believe that the actors are skating. It takes a dig at the hairstyles, costumes and the win at all cost mentality of some of the participants. Its corny and amusing enough, it will keep you laughing mildly without many big guffaws.

Blades of Glory (2007): Dir: Josh Gordon, Will Speck / Cast: Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Jenna Fischer: Very funny comedy that takes jabs at figure skating and same sex couples. Will Ferrell and Jon Heder play professional figure skaters whom are banned when their differences result in a catastrophe. A loop hole allows them to reenter as a pair. Great setup delivers on background but it skates on predictable circumstances and formula. Directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon are backed with flashy production that mirrors and makes fun of figure skating. To their credit both directors were involved in two projects called Culture and Angry Boy. This marks their biggest marketed film to date. Ferrell plays a sex craving brute who is good at what he does but must put his ego aside if he is to regain glory on the ice again. Heder is abandoned by his adoptive father and struggles with insecurity. Both leads are funny but it isn't difficult to predict the union and the outcome. Will Arnett and Amy Poehler portray a scandalous sibling team who will attempt to sabotage the duo. Jenna Fischer factors in when she is used to sabotage the skating duo with sex but she will soon realize the errors of her ways. It plays off society's obsession with celebrity as well as the sensation surrounding the sport itself. Figure skating satire plays off in its vulgar yet hilarious glory. Score: 7 / 10
