I didn't laugh much, but maybe thats because Im a dude

Rating: 6/10 (7 August 2007)

From the beginning of this film (when you see the young boy skating on the lake) I pretty much knew what I was in for. Another formulaic Will Ferrell comedy romp. Don't get me wrong, I think Will's a very funny guy, but the jokes in this movie were weak. I loved "Tallegeda Nights" because the humor was low-brow and appealed to guys. (I mean how many women like NASCAR).
The humor in "Blades of Glory" was mostly of a sexual nature, but not "Bathroom" humor. For instance Jon Heder's character says he was forced to be circumcised to "Lower wind Resistance". These types of jokes appeal to chicks.
I just sat thru this movie and basically didn't laugh much and wondered how it did so well at the box office. It seemed to borrow heavily from "Zoolander" and "Dodge Ball" (2 great movies in my opinion) but didn't really pull it off simply because we've seen it all before. Maybe if you've never seen these 2 movies you'll think Blades of Glory is hilarious.
