‘Blades’ skates way into hearts of viewers

Thursday, April 26, 2007 By Katy Kallenberger and Beth Sanford

Ice. Napoleon Dynamite. Strategically placed sequins. “My Humps.” JFK. Quads of Steel.

Each of these seemingly random topics play a crucial role in Will Ferrell’s latest masterpiece, ‘Blades of Glory.’ Oh yeah, that guy from Napoleon Dynamite is in it too.

Imagine, if you will, two prime examples of male figure skaters (Will Ferrell and Jon Heder). The two competing rivals then get each other banned indefinitely from the sport of figure skating after an epic on-ice brawl. What can the two possibly do with their pathetic lives but team up to form a dominating ice-dancing powerhouse?

Under the supervision of their coach (Craig T. Nelson), the duo work to master the death trap that is The Iron Lotus to regain the love of America. No! The love of North America. No! The love of the world. No! The galaxy!

What the movie lacked in intellectual stimuli, it made up for in feathered fabulousness and cameos from current and former SNL cast.

Overall, the movie was laugh out loud funny and provided a frightening amount of similarities to actual male figure skating. So, if you’re looking for an elegant, educational, and beautifully executed movie with sharp camera angles and clever writing, go see ‘300.’ If you want to laugh and cringe at the same time, check out ‘Blades of Glory’ starring Will Ferrell and that guy from Napoleon Dynamite.
