Zoolander on Ice

Rating: 8/10 (1 April 2007)

All I wanted was for this movie to make me laugh, and I'm happy to say I wasn't disappointed. I found it to be surprisingly funny, much more so than Ferrell's 'Talladega Nights' last summer. 'Blades of Glory' is along the same comedic path as 'Zoolander,' where-as to arch rivals in a highly overrated and highly effeminate sport/profession must set aside their differences and make nice with highly entertaining results. Will Ferrell and Jon Heder make a perfectly miss-matched comedic pair. I was afraid Heder would be highly over shadowed by a comedic veteran like Ferrell, but together they make the movie work, each with vastly different styles of comedy that in the end compliment each other well. I would recommend this movie if you are sick to death of films like 'Norbit' littering our theatres and just want to genuinely laugh at a movie that intends to be silly and is successful in doing so.
