Blades of Glory (2007, Dirs. Josh Gordon & Will Speck)
Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy are two professional ice skaters, who after getting into a fight, are both banned from mens figures skating. Fortunatly, it is soon discovered by an obsessed fan that they are banned from mens singles competition and not doubles competition. Now Chazz and Jimmy must team up as the first double mens team and take on the team of Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, who are eager to do anything to get the victory.
I was aware of this film for a while. I managed to catch it on a flight back from Cyprus and i decided to give it a go. Surprisingly i enjoyed it more than i was expecting. I was aware of Jon Heder and Will Farrell but never really looked at their work a lot, but in 'Blades of Glory' they really kept me entertained. There is a great story found here, with some amazing lines, especially coming from Farrell. I'm not a fan of ice skating, and tried the sport and failed plenty of times, but i still really enjoyed it. It didn't make me want to attempt the ice again, but it's a film which was a lot of fun to watch. I recommend that anyone who is looking for some light comedy, give this a go.
