The result proves sadly under-choreographed. And choreography is everything in a film that leans as heavily on slapstick as this one. Full Review |

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. Full Review |

Solid formula that is guaranteed to tickle most everyone's funny bone several times Full Review |

Thin, monotonous Full Review |

No guts and no glory, and not much in the way of comedy, either. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
This really shouldn't have taken five writers and two directors, especially considering the splendor costume designer Julie Weiss achieves all by herself. But it's not bad for such a thoroughly unitarded concept. Full Review |

Blades of Glory doesn't get the gold, in fact, I think they just miss out on the bronze. Full Review |

Great fun! Full Review |

7/10 |
I can't imagine what circumstances would lead me to watch the film, in its entirety, a second time. But I'm glad I saw it once. Full Review |

6/10 |
...humorous fluff at best but formulaic and predictable. Full Review |
||
|
71/100 |
Sketch comedy stretched to its maximum length, and while it's good fun, like that big dumb goof in every high school class, it comes oh-so-close to wearing out its welcome. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
A no harm-no foul feelgood flick where everybody gets an 11th hour dispensation since Jimmy was really straight all along. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A painless if unremarkable night out, lifted considerably by the over-the-top skating sequences. Full Review |
||
|
2.5/4 |
Ferrell doesn't need a great script or direction to be funny. The man just is funny. Full Review |
||
|
C+ |
Slight, but amusing vulgar comedy. Full Review |

|
3.5/5 |
Blades of Glory is funny, and that's all that matters. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
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). Full Review |

7/10 |
l'enjouement et la constance avec lesquelles cette connerie nous ait déblatérée la rendent désopilante pour les bonnes raisons Full Review |
