Go see Blades of Glory immediately. Now! Get going! I had the extreme pleasure of seeing the new Will Ferrell/ John Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) comedy about two figure skaters who become the first two same sex partners in the pair’s competition.

Ferrell’s character, Chazz Michael Michaels is a self proclaimed lone wolf whose success rides on his crazy tactics and party lifestyle. Heder’s character, Jimmy MacElroy is born and bred, squeaky clean, naïve and wholesome. The two men are polar opposites and fierce competitors. When they tie for the gold medal and refuse to share it. Their physical altercation in front of the world gets them banned from men’s figure skating for life.

When a loop hole is found in the skating regulations, the two opposites attempt to become partners against the brother and sister skating combo, Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg played by real-life husband and wife, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler. The Fairchild’s set out to cheat their way to the gold and break up the newly established bond between Ferrell and Heder.


It’s interesting that I am able to discuss the plot of this movie without much absurdity, which I assure you the movie s ripe with, but that’s what makes this movie great. It is another ridiculously hilarious comic classic that Will Ferrell and now John Heder are becoming known for. Dirty jokes, comments that don’t make sense, scenes and outfits so absurd that you lose yourself in the humour and just enjoy it. That’s what makes these movies great. Any school, work, money or life stress, they help you find a way to laugh anyway.
