the ice skater cometh

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2012)

Having played an anchorman and a NASCAR driver, Will Ferrell then played a figure skater in the silly but very enjoyable "Blades of Glory". He and Jon Heder star as disqualified skaters who set out to make a comeback. As far as I can tell, the movie is just a big excuse to have fun, and it succeeds in every sense. Ferrell always knows what to say in his roles for them to be really funny (although he more recently played a serious role in "Everything Must Go").
Anyway, this is a funny one. And if I may say so, Amy Poehler looks REALLY fine in her Marilyn Monroe outfit! Also starring William Fichtner, Craig T. Nelson, Will Arnett, Jenna Fischer, Rob Corddry (a former correspondent on "The Daily Show") and a number of real-life skaters.
