Enjoyable

Rating: 6/10 (3 December 2012)

With Will Ferrel on the cast, one could have expected something more quirky. Blades of Glory turns out to be quite consensual, and you feel the absurdity characterizing Ferrel's movies should have been really pushed much further.
Still, the movie is very dynamic with no overlong passages, and the plot unfolds smoothly. Of course, the story is very simple but entertaining, and the gags punctuate very well the events, even though they are not hilarious.
Ferrel is good as always and the skating duo had a good chemistry. The direction is a bit off due to some cheap special effects, but this is also the charm of the movie.
