Blades of Glory (2007)

Cast: Will Ferrell (Chazz Michael Michaels), Jon Heder (Jimmy MacElroy), Jenna Fischer (Katie Van Waldenberg), Craig T. Nelson (Coach)
For complete info, see IMDb's Blades of Glory page.

Blades of Glory was much more entertaining than I'd been led to believe. It's definitely far from Will Ferrell's best work, but it's very funny and well worth the DVR space or Netflix rental. I found it on one of the movie channels or I probably wouldn't have seen it yet. I'm glad I did. It jokes about the extremes of what competitors will do to get ahead (like the Tanya Harding incident with Nancy Kerrigan) and makes fun of some of the crazy costumes that have appeared in ice skating competitions in recent years.

I definitely think those who enjoy skating competitions will enjoy Blades of Glory more than the rest of the population, but it's a funny movie.

Grade: B
