Superior to Talladega Nights

Rating: 9/10 (1 April 2007)

This was a huge improvement over the disappointing Talladega Nights. Don't get me wrong, Talladega Nights was a good movie, but very inferior to the masterpiece known as Anchorman. Like Anchorman was just so witty, Talladega Nights tried to do what Anchorman did (almost with the exact same plot, except with Nascar in Talladega, it wasn't the most original and it just was not as funny). Blades of Glory is not the most original plot or that far from the plot of Anchorman (Ferrell being caught up in his ridiculous ego, failing, and then making a comeback) but it takes it to a new level. They kind of use the same mold but twist it so it is not so much original but where when you're watching the movie, you cannot notice the similarities so much. It is a similar plot but a totally different ballgame. Also, Ferrell uses the same style of humor that he used in SNL. I just felt he was pulling more of his old tricks than trying to be funnier than the previous movie he was in. To make a long story short, the trailer to this movie really gives it no justice. It might look stupid but really is a fun way to spend an hour and a half of your life.
