Blades of Glory: On Thin Ice

Blades of Glory, the frequently promoted ice skating comedy comes to theatres Friday, March 30th.  The two comic geniuses, Will Ferrell and John Heder, star in this goofy premise involving competitive world class ice skaters.

The movie certainly has the right names, as it stars Will Ferrell (Old School, Talladega Nights) and John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Benchwarmers). While the premise is reasonable enough, the movie’s screenplay is certainly lacking.

The comedic duo plays two competitive and arrogant skaters, who are embroiled in an epic and unending feud. It isn’t until their actions get them expelled from figure skating that they are forced to compete as a pair in order to skim their way past the restraints of their expulsion.  Of course, they’re new bitter rivals, played by Will Arnet (Arrested Development, Ice Age 2) and Amy Poehler (Arrested Development, SNL), give ‘em hell all the way to the championship.

Critics have likened the comedy to “an extended SNL sketch with eighty more minutes than necessary.” These harsh reviews may not help the movie’s box office success, but the incredibly talented cast will undoubtedly still fill seats.

Blades of Glory is in theatres Friday, March 30th.
