Consensus: With a talented cast, Blades of Glory successfully milks its one-joke premise into a feature-length comedy.
Theatrical Release:06-04-2007

Reviews for Blades of Glory
The result proves sadly under-choreographed. And choreography is everything in a film that leans as heavily on slapstick as this one.

this wacky comedy simply glides over the ice, never falling in the cracks or tumbling off course. Heder plays the angelic-faced blonde-mopped former child protégée ... and Ferrell is the sex addicted Tsunami of Swagger, thrown unwillingly together.

It's silly and fun with real figure skating personalities involved... they add a bonus dimension to the jokes (like throwing in a double toe-loop after landing a triple axle).

l'enjouement et la constance avec lesquelles cette connerie nous ait déblatérée la rendent désopilante pour les bonnes raisons
05/19/07
We'll keep tolerating Ferrell as long as he throws in a 'Stranger Than Fiction' or 'Elf' every now and again.
05/08/07
An elongated comedy sketch, without any depth or development.
05/07/07
Exceeded my very low expectations...Despite the dry spells between genuine laughs, the movie feels over and done with, but doesn't really leave you wanting more. It's just right, and just a little flat.
05/06/07
Some of the laughs are inspired and big, and while you wish the movie was as cruel as you know the figure skating world really is, at least it isn't afraid of being silly.
05/01/07
You may need diapers (if you don't normally wear them) to view this.. Let the world rest a while and enjoy the silliness.
04/29/07
The comedy is disposable because Ferrell and Heder don't bother being recognizably human.
04/25/07
Solid formula that is guaranteed to tickle most everyone's funny bone several times
04/24/07
Cavorting on the ice in their elaborate figure skating costumes, Will Ferrell and Jon Heder made me laugh so much my stomach ached.
04/21/07
"Blades of Glory" will have Will Ferrell fans dizzy with laughter.Silly, uneven, but hilarious when it's funny, the show might remind his fans of "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby."
04/17/07
Roughly twice as good as a movie with such a thin comedic premise deserves to be.
04/14/07
I found myself not even giggling.

Ferrell Still Rocks Even When He's Coasting
04/08/07
After Ferrell's manchild partners with a fey figure-skating rival (Heder), it's strictly uninspired buddy-comedy bickering.
04/07/07
Will Ferrell is funny. Just looking at him makes you chuckle. Jon Heder is funny looking. Together, they make an amusing duo. And Blades of Glory is a funny film.
