February 17, 2012Talladega Nights is so much better. This movie has such a great cast but the film makes (almost) no attempt at making the characters likable, it has no specific target audience and is sometimes more gross than funny. I loved the chemistry between ferrel and heder but the movie it... read more

December 2, 2011fb729949618Will Ferrell hasn't lost a step and is still great as always. In a bit of a different quirky role, Ferrell adds to the film tremendously, more than I can describe. I loved the film, thought it was funny, and is a must see in the comedy genre.

August 6, 2011Blades of Glory is Ricky Bobby + Napoleon Dynamite. Two pro skaters named Chazz Micheals and Jimmy MacElroy (Will Ferell, Jon Heder) hate each other and when the two fight, they are disqualified from skating ever again. When Jimmys trainer suggests the two team up so they can s... read more

January 27, 2011One of Will Ferrell's downfall movies. This isn't horrible, it's just not anything we haven't seen before. Will Ferrell and Jon Heder are both way too over the top to make the premise seem believable. In fact, I wish the movie was centered around the incestuous relationship betwe... read more

December 7, 2010i honestly think watching this killed a few of my brain cells. I AM JON HEDER AND I LOVE MONEY!

November 4, 2010in my mind its the funniest of will ferrels films, Jon Heder also did a great job. The comedy is spot on and the ice skating choreography is amazing. My favorite scene is the final ice skating competition where they play one of my favorite songs "Flash" from one of my favorite ba... read more

July 15, 2010Blades Of Glory was officially for me, at least the nail in the coffin to Will Farrell's career. Using old jokes from previous films seems to be the norm, and in this case the filmmakers use pretty much every Ferrell flick as a point of reference to try to and find creative on sc... read more

Ferrell isn't breaking new ground, but one day -- when he's branching out to play psycho killers and getting in touch with his inner Thespian -- we'll look back on his clowning period and wonder why h... Full Review

Blissfully silly, triumphantly tasteless and improbably hilarious. Full Review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Some of the best lines are featured in the TV commercials, making you wish the premise had lived up to its promise. Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Blades of Glory is only slightly less funny -- if you ask ignorant old me -- than watching real figure skating. It's your coin. Full Review

Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
Blades is an acceptable Friday evening diversion, most of which will have run through your system by Saturday morning. Full Review

Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
It's worth the admission price just to watch Ferrell and Heder, both more than 6 feet tall, take turns lifting each other and to see Heder's ankles wrapped around his co-star's neck. Full Review

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Blades of Glory is a feeble satire that doesn't do much that's incisive or interesting, and the tame PG-13 rating keeps the raunchiness in check. Full Review

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Dumb with a capital D, Blades of Glory takes its (almost) fleshed-out sketch-comedy idea as far as an ice-skating buddy movie with we're-not-gay jokes and a psycho stalker can go.
