Blades of Glory

BLADES OF GLORY (2007) - Mar. 28, 2007
An insipid comedy starring the once-hilarious, now-terrible Will Ferrell. Sporadically entertaining but mostly boring, and containing a few chuckles but nothing more, this was a sub-par comedy and yet another bad movie in a year that's already had so many. About a couple of figure-skaters who circumvent their ban from skating by teaming up, the film had a surprising amount of capable performers (Will Arnett, William Fichtner, and Craig T. Nelson, among others) and yet still pretty much sucked. The problem here (or at least one of them) is that aside from a few reasonably funny moments, the film just aims so low. And I don't know, maybe it succeeds in what it's going for -- I'm sure there are a lot of people who will love it, but I think I'm too old for this movie by at least a decade. *1/2
