April 5, 2009This is weak stuff, trust me, Will Ferrell is becoming alittle tiresome I have to admit. The plot is very simple and very unimportant, oh and it has ALL the usual sports cliches. Not a fan of of Jon Heder either, just not funny, the film is just stupid, Ferrell and Heder look lik... ...( read more )

December 16, 2008Jenna Fischer is hot. I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrell comedies and Jon Heder is pretty annoying too since his one breakout role as Napoleon Dynamite. Lots of stupid humor.

October 6, 2008Ferrell and Heder do make a good team. Both of their characters possess qualities and quirks that are similar to past roles but that does not lessen their performances but in fact adds to them by creating a familiar relationship with the audiences.
The movie provided laughs thr... ...( read more ) -
July 22, 2008It was funny but not as funny as I expected. Some of the situations are ridiculous and exaggerated. The cast is very good. Will Ferrell is as always hilarious although in this movie was a little over the edge, Jon Heder performance was great, he was all sissy and fancy, the coupl... ...( read more )

Some of the best lines are featured in the TV commercials, making you wish the premise had lived up to its promise. full review

A silly spoof that's often unexpectedly sweet. full review

It asks the rhetorical question, 'So what's wrong with the idea of a guy-guy pairs team?' On the other hand, Jimmy's butt-strutting in that peacock suit, his mincing walk, play right into the stereoty... full review

The directors, Will Speck and Josh Gordon, nail the subtext and straight-faced deportment of Ferrell's best movies. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Blades of Glory is too broad to be satire and not mean enough by half -- in any case, competitive figure skating already does a pretty good job spoofing itself. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
As with the recent hit middle-aged road comedy Wild Hogs, Blades of Glory tries to work maximum comic mileage from heterosexual men's fear of proximity to other men's penises. full review

A gold medal winner with HUGE laughs. Check your brain at the door for this one and you won't be disappointed. full review

Heder, with his snappy reactions and his bride-of-Elton-John skating ensembles, is funny beyond the call of a second banana. And Ferrell, with his little piggy eyes and his bursts of unfounded braggad... full review

January 16, 2008at first i thought it s about gays but noooo. It s so funny and make me laugh for the whole film. Nice performances , Clothe and music. I love Will Fallow while he was singing 'My Hump'.// Jon Heder was so cool in the show 'Flash Gordon'and he is not gay for sure.
