Blades of Glory Go See
It **** (Four Stars)
If you are in
the mood for a light hearted and funny movie then Blades of
Glory should be your
pick. Go see this movie! Blades of Glory is silly, it is well kinda
retarded and it is definitely funny. It is also exactly the
kind of slap stick movie you would expect with
Will Ferrell
in the lead role. Will does not let you down.
I was impressed
for at times this movie is blatantly homo erotic, as well as
it should be with two men partnered up as male and male
couple skate in an already effeminate sport. The Humor of
this movie was perfect. It was well thought out and
appropriately timed, never seemed forced or tried to hard.
The minute
Amy Poehler (Fairchild
Van Waldenberg) appeared on screen the audience started
laughing at the mere thought of her being a part of this
journey. I have to admit I died when she did the Marilyn
with the pills it was great. I also love the fact that many
of the real life celebrities, of the ice skating world did
cameo's in this film, that added a special touch and a feel
of authenticity.
I really
enjoyed this film, even if I got a bit annoyed at so many of
the body double scene's were not spliced together
perfectly. However I willingly over look them and applaud
at their actual attempts to do as much skating as they did.
Go take a load of your feet and see this film for you will
enjoy it.
