Glorious

Rating: 7/10 (11 April 2007)

I thoroughly enjoyed myself throughout the film. At first I thought it would be a bit cheesy and perhaps dumb but as soon as it started all those thoughts left and I was presented with a hysterical feature. One of the things "Blades" has going for it is that it is not over the top, which may occur in such a film, "Blades" leaves you wanting more.
Farrell and Heder do make a good team. Both of their characters possess qualities and quirks that are similar to past roles but that does not lessen their performances but in fact adds to them by creating a familiar relationship with the audiences. Poehler and Arnett play very entertaining villains and contribute frequently to the ridiculousness of the film.
The movie provided laughs throughout, several via the skating and one of my favorite sequences is a chase scene between Farrell and Arnett that will not be soon forgotten. This is one of the movies I can just think about and bust out laughing. "Blades" delivers for the kind of movie it is supposed to be. My only suggestion would be to bring a friend.
