One of Ferrells greats in my opinion but it is seen as one of his slightly less famous and great performances. I got given the DVD around 3 years ago for my birthday. I didn't really know much about it but was a massive fan of Will Ferrell after seeing anchor man (also have a review for it and think it is one of the greatest ...  Read the complete review

The pairing of Napoleon Dynamite star Jon Heder with comic legend Will Ferrell should make for a wild and wacky outing, and while Blades of Glory is ultimately an idea better on paper, it still makes for a mildly diverting film that offers plenty of scattershot absurdism and a few perverse chuckles along the way. The film ...  Read the complete review

Blades of Glory is a Will Ferrell comedy which is not too bad which is not something I get to say very often about his films after all he is one of the worst bankable stars in Hollywood apparently with rather poor returns from his movies based upon the amount invested. This film sees him poking fun at the ice skating scene with a rather ...  Read the complete review

Will Ferrell divides opinion. He is in turn a irrepressible comic genius, a crude, gurning jester and on rare occasions, something in between. As capable of reaching the peaks of Anchorman and Stranger than Fiction as he is of plumbing the depths of Stepbrothers and Kicking and Screaming, Ferrell is a talented performer who makes some ...  Read the complete review

Apart from Ferrell the film also stars Jon Heder, of Napoloeon Dynamite fame. The two are cast as figure skating stars who have a ...  Read the complete review
