Blades of Glory is far from a masterpiece having a rather predictable story, hit and miss dialogue and the odd moment when a scene goes on for too long. That said, the film does look very nice, with striking locations, crisp photography and editing and the ice skating costumes are beautifully tailored. The soundtrack is simply great, very rousing and fits wonderfully with the well-choreographed ice skating sequences. Although there is the odd bit of dialogue or joke that doesn't quite work, the vast majority that do are very funny. The characters are at least funny, and not only do Will Ferrell and Jon Heder give fun performances but they make a surprisingly good duo too. All in all, a very watchable film if not without faults. 7/10 Bethany Cox
