Two to dance

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2015)

Blades of Glory stars Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as two rival figure skaters, Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy who brawl after an ice skating tournament and end up getting banned for life.
However they exploit a loophole that allows them to return in the doubles category, dancing as a same sex couple amongst other mixed couples. However as they hate each other they have to put aside their differences and work together as a team. They also have to beat the reigning champions who are a brother and sister combination and plan to use the deadly Iron Lotus move.
The film is a parody of The Cutting Edge which had teaming up of a mismatched and tempestuous pair for ice dancing. It also takes a dig at the campiness of ice skating. Chazz is a macho, a sex addict with a tough style of dancing. You can guess he is based on the 90s Canadian ice skater Elvis Stojko. Jimmy is more fey and artistic.
The films make good use of CGI as we actually believe that the actors are skating. It takes a dig at the hairstyles, costumes and the win at all cost mentality of some of the participants. Its corny and amusing enough, it will keep you laughing mildly without many big guffaws.
