Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Glenn Kenny (1,728) for Premiere (771) on 06 Dec 2017

It is trim, fast-moving and often quite funny, particularly in the exchanges between Ferrell and Heder -- the former's trademark clueless oafishness…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By J.r. Jones (1,066) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 29 Apr 2017

Ben Stiller produced, and the movie is so reminiscent of Zoolander that I wish he had rounded up Owen Wilson and starred in it himself…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Jack Mathews (1,044) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 04 Oct 2016

The casting of Ferrell and Heder turns out to be inspired…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Owen Gleiberman (3,271) for Entertainment Weekly (6,953) on 18 May 2016

Blades of Glory has funny moves even when its characters can barely move, but the film seldom gets past its one basic laugh: that a real man…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By David Edelstein (2,124) for New York Magazine (Vulture) (3,519) on 13 Dec 2015

I'm looking forward to buying Blades of Glory on DVD so I can get my head around the phenomenal skating routines…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Claudia Puig (2,080) for USA Today (4,117) on 09 Dec 2014

Part of the problem lies in the casting imbalance: Ferrell is so much more adept at this comedy style than Heder…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Scott Tobias (1,684) for The A.V. Club (5,644) on 01 Jul 2014

Some of the jokes are about skating, others are about whatever random thing happened to pop into Ferrell's head with the cameras rolling, and…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Stephanie Zacharek (2,333) for Salon.com (2,725) on 11 Apr 2014

While I don't think Blades of Glory is exactly homophobic -- it's not mean-spirited enough for that -- there's something a little too cheap…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Rene Rodriguez (1,781) for Miami Herald (3,319) on 11 Dec 2013

It's Amy Poehler and Will Arnett, as a rival brother-sister skating team who are a little too intimate for comfort, who seem to be giving it…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By M. E. Russell (386) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 20 Sep 2013

Also fun: tiny characters such as Jimmy's surprisingly helpful stalker (Nick Swardson); the film's final moments, which owe more than a little…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Kevin Crust (344) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 12 Sep 2013

The movie is at its funniest and most original when zinging the sometimes pretentious milieu of competitive figure skating…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Chris Kaltenbach (562) for Baltimore Sun (1,823) on 12 Sep 2011

This is Ferrell's movie, and one's tolerance for it will most likely be in direct proportion to one's tolerance for its star's vanity-free…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Dana Stevens (1,435) for Slate (2,081) on 22 Jan 2010

No project involving Ferrell is going to be entirely unfunny, and Blades of Glory does have its moments of loopy ingenuity, even if none of…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 05 Jan 2010

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…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Jonathan Kiefer (305) for Sacramento News & Review (1,702) on 06 Aug 2008

This really shouldn't have taken five writers and two directors, especially considering the splendor costume designer Julie Weiss achieves…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Jeff Bayer (445) for The Scorecard Review (437) on 03 Mar 2008

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

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 19 Sep 2007

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…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By John J. Puccio (1,217) for Movie Metropolis (1,779) on 26 Aug 2007

humorous fluff at best but formulaic and predictable…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Brian Webster (658) for Apollo Guide (1,430) on 24 Aug 2007

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…

Review of Blades of Glory (2007)

By Rob Gonsalves (1,031) for eFilmCritic.com (5,125) on 22 Jul 2007
