Movie Review: Packaged poorly
Summary: 2 Stars
The sender mailed my DVD without its orginal DVD case. It was taped to a piece of cardboard. I haven't watched the movie yet, but wouldn't doubt that its scratched.Movie Review: Glorious Blades... those!
Summary: 4 Stars
"Blades of Glory" truly brings out the charisma and brilliance of the sport of figure skating. Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as (Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy respectively) have done a fantastic job at bringing this sport into people's attention.
It's not everyday that an unorthodox gamble gets made so well in a movie, but "Blades of Glory" is able to pull it off, and quite full of typical Farrell gags, from time to time.
Chazz and Jimmy are long-time rivals, who share the Gold Medal for figure skating, only to create an embarrassing scene at the medal ceremony and stripped of the Gold as a result of that, and banned from the sport for life. They lose all that they've striven to achieve and are left abandoned in their miserly existence, until one fine day fate brings them together.
Through a loophole in the regulations, they realize that they've been banned from their own division (of Men's Singles Skating). They can very well compete in the Couples event. What better partner for each than the other - they figure!
What follows is not quite as brilliant as some of other sport movies you might've seen. But you've got to remember - this is a Will Ferrell movie, and that means something. Look out for those gags, some of which clearly seem to be out of context in the story, but will surely make you laugh; even if you wonder a moment later what's happening to the central plot of the movie.
Never mind all those questions. This is a movie made to amuse and enjoy. In fact, a little more than Semi Pro was able to do. Not one of the Ferrell's best works, but certainly watchable.
Performance-wise, Ferrell does a good job. I discovered a good artist out of this - Jon Heder.
Overall Score: 4 / 5

If you are a Will Ferrell fan, this is your movie. Funny stuff from the whole cast. I give it four stars. Careful with young kids. No nudity or anything, but Will Ferrell does play a sex addict.Movie Review: The Ice lotus delivers!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie while obviously being over the top and somewhat too gay for words to describe , works on some sick twisted level. Somehow the passion that the two skaters share for their sport and winning comes off as genuine and heartfelt . It was funny and sometimes crude and obnoxious, ok most of the time. If you can get past the crudeness and the quasi homo erotic themes, well I say its 2 hours well spent. Perhaps it may inspire something in your gut other than queasy disgust. Smell the lotus.Movie Review: hillarious
