Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

bbewnylorac A beautifully acted and directed film that will be hilarious to anyone who has ever watched an Olympic ice dancing competition. One wonders whether it's far from the truth! Will Ferrell is perfect as the hyper-egotistical superstar Chazz Michael Michaels who, rather predictably for a Ferrell film, has a spectacular fall from grace. He's barred from skating for life, for fighting with rival Jimmy McIlroy (Jon Heder), who is also banned. But McIlroy's nutty stalker, Hector (Nick Swardson) finds a loophole, in that Chazz and Jimmy could try becoming a male- male dancing pair. Almost stealing the show are Amy Poehler and Will Arnett as the Van Waldenberg siblings, the hysterically nasty, incestuous rivals to Chazz and Jimmy. They blackmail their Cinderella-style, sweet younger sister Katie (Jenna Fischer) to do all sorts of evil things to Jimmy and Chazz, but Katie instead falls awkwardly in love with Jimmy. Poehler and Arnett are obviously loving their dastardly roles and I don't know how Ferrell and Heder were able to keep straight faces through all of their own ridiculously silly dialogue and routines. All in all, a very good movie.

SnoopyStyle Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) was picked out of an orphanage at the age of 4 to train to skate with the money and obsession of Darren MacElroy (William Fichtner). Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) is a renegade rocker figure skater from the Detroit undergrounds. At the Olympics, they tie for first. When they get on the podium, they fight and get banned for life. It's 3 and a half years later. Jimmy has been left on the side of the road by Darren and is toiling away in a sporting goods store. Chazz is drunker than ever skating in a kids show. Then they realize there is a loophole allowing them to skate in another category. After watching them fight again, Coach (Craig T. Nelson) realizes that they make for a great skating pair. They will have to win against the Waldenberg twins skating champs (Will Arnett, Amy Poehler).Will Ferrell is going all out with a way out there character. Jon Heder is lovely and effeminate. The inappropriate Waldenberg twins played by Will Arnett and Amy Poehler get the most fun. Everybody is trying to one up each other. This is an SNL sketch stretched to its limits. The laughs are too few and far between. I appreciate the effort, but it's more wacky than funny.

orionschwert That is one of the most funniest movies I know. It is rare in these times that I can watch a film over and over again. It is perfectly written, acted and overall very nicely crafted. It is a perfect parody on that ridiculous seriousness of this sport. The lines are so funny and the story is hilarious. Sometimes it hurts my stomach because of the laughing. Here at IMDb's it is completely underrated. Maybe from Dumb&Dumber fans ? I have no idea why this movie is not at least rated around 8 Stars. Because of this movie I watched more Ferrell stuff like -The Anchorman- but as so often, I hardly can smile at most of the Hollywood comedy's. This one is something else and makes me laugh every time I watch it ! I give it a ten out of ten. It's flawless.

FilmBuff1994 Blades Of Glory is a fantastic comedy movie with a great story line,a brilliant cast and hilarious characters.Will Ferrell is obviously the funniest in this movie,like he is in every other movie he is in,he is always hilarious and a fantastic actor.I also really enjoyed Will Arnett and Amy Poehlers performances,ever since he hosted the golden globes,I felt strangely attracted to Poehler,mainly because he is just such a funny person.If you are a fan of Will Ferrell comedies.I would strongly recommend you see this.When two ice skaters are kicked out of their league,the two of them join together in pairs skating,competing against two very competitive siblings,who will do whatever to have to to win.
