Three years later, desire for a gold medal and a careful reading of the rules lead them to compete as skating's first male-male pair.

Can they overcome mutual dislike, limited time to prepare, their coach's secret past, and the dirty tricks of their main opponents, the Van Waldenberg siblings? The key to victory or defeat may lie in the attraction of the virginal Jimmy toward Katie, the Van Waldenbergs' little sister.

See more » Frequently Asked Questions I'm happy to say that it is VERY FUNNY 15 March 2007 | by atliel (United States) – See all my reviews When I first saw the trailer for this film I didn't think much of it. It looked as if it were just trying to cash in on the popularity of Will Ferrel after the success of Talladega Nights. Well, I was wrong, big time wrong. First off, almost every scene in this film is hilarious and the trailer does it no justice. Don't get me wrong, I love Will Ferrel films for the most part but this one looked like it would be an exception. Instead this film fits perfectly with my taste in comedies like Talladega Nights, Zoolander, Anchorman, Water Boy, Old School and Billy Madison.

If you like these kinds of films you will love this film. 182 of 272 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes Will Ferrell shows off skating moves - Entertainment - TODAY.com Will Ferrell shows off skating moves Actor, who hadn't skated before ‘Blades of Glory,’ shows Meredith a trick Below: x + - When it comes to modern slapstick and ad-lib comedy, actor and "Saturday Night Live" graduate Will Ferrell needs lessons from no one. But when the subject of ice skating came up in connection with his new movie, Ferrell had to admit to producers he had never donned blades before. "And now I'm a complete professional," Ferrell said Monday, as he and TODAY host Meredith Vieira glided along the ice at Rockefeller Center in New York. Ferrell portrays fictional figure skating champion Chazz Michael Michaels in "Blades of Glory," a new comedy about a pair of archrival skaters who are forced, by circumstance, to form the world's first men's pair.

More from TODAY.com Listen to the chilling 911 call Sandra Bullock made during break-in Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy, played by actor Jon Heder, exploit a loophole in the rules and team up after being banned from the sport for life because of their fist fight on the medal stand during the 2002 Olympics. "Chazz Michael Michaels is a bad boy," Ferrell said of his character, a Spandex-wearing sex addict. "He is actually the tough guy skating, a ladies' man. He is as one commentator said, 'Sex on skates' — not unlike myself." The role presented a new challenge for Ferrell, who in past movies has portrayed a NASCAR race car driver, local television news anchorman, middle-aged fraternity brother and an over-zealous children's soccer coach. Ferrell had never been ice skates before. He and Heder, who starred in "Napoleon Dynamite," underwent training before production began, enabling Ferrell to perform some of his own falls and on-ice scenes. Stunt doubles did the heavy lifting, however, enabling Ferrell to concentrate on what he does best: being hilarious. "It was pretty intense.

We did a good two to three months of skating, three days a week," Ferrell told Vieira, who donned skates herself for the segment. "Enough where we could at least stand on skates and not local totally pathetic." At the end of their interview, Ferrell attempted to show Vieira a stunt on the ice: pulling through her through his legs. She almost made it. But she fell on her back, exclaiming: "That hurt." — John Springer, TODAYShow.com contributor © 2013 MSNBC Interactive.

 in "Blades of Glory.".

© Paramount Pictures Jon Heder loves skating and Will Ferrell says he doesn’t exactly hate the sport after having to go through weeks of training to player rivals who pair up – literally – to take on the competitive world of figure skating in Blades of Glory . Ferrell hasn’t put on a pair of skates and taken to the ice since completing the film, but his co-star Heder claims he’s planning on skating all the time. “I am. I’m going to. And by ‘all the time,’ I mean that I’m going to try to make it a regular, once a month to semi-annual thing,” said Heder, laughing. Setting Boundaries When It Comes to ‘Private’ Parts: Jon Heder joked there was a clause in their contracts that said “No less than 2 centimeters” when it came to their private parts. continue reading below our video Celebrity Breakups of 2015 We Didn't See Coming Ferrell added, “I had a restraining order against his crotch.

We really didn’t talk about it, did we?” “I think, all in all, it ended up being mostly effects,” answered Heder.” Ferrell wound up the crotch conversation by saying, “That was a stunt crotch. I don’t think I touched his crotch.” And speaking of close proximity, Ferrell says his boob-grabbing scene with Jenna Fischer was improvised. “That was ad-libbed. I just thought, ‘This will be fun. I’m just going to do it,’ and 80 takes later… (Laughing) I had to get it right. And, it remained in the movie.” The Comic Chemistry Between Ferrell and Heder: One’s an established actor with a solid career, the other’s a rising star in the field of comedy films, but according to Ferrell the chemistry was instantaneous. “We met in the parking lot of Pickwick Ice Rink in Burbank,” explained Ferrell.

“It was like, ‘Hey, nice to meet you.’ ‘Yeah, you too.’ ‘This should be fun, right?’ ‘It’s going to be hard, huh?’ ‘You don’t know how to skate, do you?’ ‘No.’ ‘I don’t either.’ ‘Okay, I’ll see you later.’ (Laughing) That was kind of it.” Heder added, “I was like, ‘I’ve got to lift you?” The Need to Strip on Film: Because of a few of his recent role choices, we’ve seen a lot of Ferrell onscreen. And by ‘a lot’ I mean Ferrell in various states of undress. But the actor doesn’t look for the chance to strip something off when he reads a script. “No, I actually hope that there isn’t.” However Blades of Glory presented Ferrell with yet another opportunity to go shirtless. “In this one, I kind of do a version of it with the tattoo thing, which I thought was really funny that you reveal this stupid life story through tattoos. (Laughing) But we got to make some crazy, funny tattoos. That was amazing.

And, in fact, we were just laughing that Jimmy has no sense of the fact that there’s this gross guy with his shirt off. He’s just wrapped in the story, like, ‘Really, wow, cool. What’s that one?’” Ferrell was even tempted to keep a couple of his tattoos for a while, including the one his character gets of Heder’s character. “I was. That was the funniest thing. The make-up tattoos are so real looking and they last for a good couple of days, so I would forget. On the weekends, I’d have these weird tattoos. My wife would be like, ‘Oh, gross, what is that?’ ’It’s just a wolf. I’m the lone wolf.’” Spandex Skating Costumes vs Elfin Tights: It’s hard to erase the image of Ferrell in his tights from Elf . Asked to compare the experience of Elf to wearing interesting – and tight – ice skating attire for Blades of Glory, Ferrell said, “Well, they were very similar. The elfin tights were actually quite functional. A lot of times in that movie, it was very cold where we were filming, so I was actually thankful to have them.

The lycra suits, I was thankful to have them in a different sense, just for the character, because they were funny looking.” Heder’s costumes were even more extravagant in Blades of Glory and included one resembling a peacock, which he had no problem saying yes to. “I remember seeing it in the design, but I always forgot about it because it’s so light, and I never saw it,” said Heder. “People would say something and I’d be like, ‘Oh, that’s right, I’ve got feathers back there.’ So no, I did not draw the line.” On the Design of Their Ice Skating Outfits: “We had a little bit [of input],” said Ferrell. “Julie Weiss, who’s the wardrobe designer, is kind of a mad genius, in a way. She’d be like, ‘I found this leather jacket in the hatchback of my neighbor’s car. Try it on.’ You’d be like, ‘Oh, it’s perfect.’ ‘I knew it! You’re going to wear that today.’ She really designed these amazing [costumes].

She would call me on the phone and ask me things like, ‘What would your character keep in a duffle bag?’ (Laughing) ‘I don’t know yet. I haven’t even thought about it.’ She was like, ‘I see you as a cross between Steven Tyler and this person or that person.’ But, yeah, in terms of the skater stuff, she totally designed all that.” Heder added, “The peacock outfit was kind of my idea because we had seen clips and footage of other skaters, just to study and research, and Johnny Weir had this swan outfit. It was kind of a famous routine. It was very serious, but the glove was a swan. I was like, ‘That would be funny to do, but do it as a peacock.’ Skaters are very much like peacocks. It was amazing. I just remember throwing that idea out, and then the next thing I knew, she had this bejeweled glove and the eye and everything. It was like, ‘Wow!’” ”The first time I saw him in his outfit, I was really jealous,” joked Ferrell. “I was like, ‘Aw, you’re a peacock. Of course.

You get a gloved hand and everything. I’m only fire.’” Blades of Glory (9/10) Movie CLIP - Let's Kick Some Ice (2007) HD - YouTube Blades of Glory (9/10) Movie CLIP - Let's Kick Some Ice (2007) HD Want to watch this again later?

( 927) Synopsis After being stripped of their medals and banned from single-men events, two Olympics ice skaters decide to team up and compete as an all-male pair. My review After Ferrell's manchild partners with a fey figure-skating rival (Heder), it's strictly uninspired buddy-comedy bickering.

Emma Luce December 13, 2012 Blades of glory Will Farrell is so funny lol mario medina February 15, 2015 Blades of glory Funny enough to watch again. Neil Johnson October 4, 2015 Terrible movie. Terrible movie. Blades of Glory | Figure Skating Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit At the 2003 World Winter Sport Games, rival men's singles skaters Chazz Michael Michaels ( Will Ferrell ), a skillful skater but raunchy sex addict and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder), a talented but girly skater tie for gold and an argument ensues on the awards podium. It quickly develops into a fight. Having disgraced their sport, they both were stripped of their gold medals, and receive a lifetime ban from men's singles competition. Jimmy's billionaire adoptive father Darren MacElroy ( William Fichtner ) disowns him and leaves him on the side of the road. Three and a half years later, Jimmy is working at a winter sporting goods store and gets demoted to sorting out the stock when he refuses to listen to a customer telling him her skating boot is too tight.

Chazz skates in the kiddie skating show 'Grublets on Ice' as the 'Evil Wizard,' has gained a lot of weight, and gets fired from his job for being in a drunken stupor on stage. Jimmy's stalker Hector ( Nick Swardson ) tells him of a loophole in the ban: he is banned only from singles skating and can still compete in pair skating or Ice dancing. Jimmy contacts his old coach (Craig T. Nelson) but is unable to find a female partner. Jimmy's search for a partner leads him to Chazz, and his coach convinces the two of them to join up as same-sex pairs team, because of a loophole in the regulations (also found by Jimmy's stalker Hector) that fails to state the genders of the pairs and dance team. The reigning U.S. national pairs champions, the brother-sister team of Stranz and Fairchild van Waldenberg ( Will Arnett and Amy Poehler), see the new pair as a threat to their dominance and begin to conspire against Chazz and Jimmy. The pair convince their sister Katie (Jenna Fischer) to spy on the new team.

They always take advantage of her by reminding her of the death of her parents, who were in a car accident while driving young Katie to her ice skating practice. In the process, she becomes acquainted with Jimmy and they develop a relationship. Although Chazz and Jimmy are initially disgusted by each other, they eventually develop a friendship. They compete at the United States Figure Skating Championships and earn a chance to compete at the Winter Sport Games once again, this time as a pairs team. Chazz and Jimmy’s coach informs them that, in order to win, they will need to perform a technique that has never before been performed successfully. The technique, called the Iron Lotus, is an extremely complicated maneuver that Coach developed years ago while he was still training pairs. However, it is also extremely dangerous: the only known attempt of the maneuver took place in North Korea and resulted in the man Decapitating the woman with his skate blade. Nonetheless, they decide to attempt it as the coach is convinced that the shortcomings of the Korean attempt was that the physics were off - and two males would be better suited for the move. They then begin to train. Meanwhile, Jimmy and Katie begin a romantic relationship with some help from Chazz and Fairchild.

Seeking to exploit this new friendship, Fairchild commands Katie to disrupt the duo by having sex with Chazz, threatening to harm Jimmy physically if Katie does not comply. Katie invites Chazz to her room, where she tries to seduce him. Chazz refuses to have sex with Katie, citing his friendship with Jimmy as the reason, but cannot resist Groping her chest. Jimmy witnesses this and is outraged at Chazz's and Katie's betrayals. The next day, Chazz and Jimmy are both kidnapped and restrained, separately, by Stranz and Fairchild, who are determined to prevent the two from competing. Katie gets tired of her siblings and accepts that their parents weren't properly safe while driving. While handcuffing Jimmy in a bathroom, Fairchild reveals that she and Stranz had commanded Katie to have sex with Chazz yet she did not go through with it, to Jimmy's relief. Chazz escapes but is pursued by Stranz through the city: the pursuit is on ice (with skates) at first but is then continued through streets and stores. He tries to kill Chazz with a crossbow, but accidentally shoots the Winter Sport Games Mascot Snowflake.

Jimmy, who is locked in a men's bathroom, also escapes. Meanwhile, Stranz and Fairchild perform their routine, a dramatization of the "forbidden romance" of JFK and Marilyn Monroe. Both Chazz and Jimmy arrive separately in the ice rink just in time to compete. Chazz and Jimmy reconcile quickly (Chazz telling Jimmy and the entire arena that "Katie is not a whore ") and begin their routine, which has a science fiction theme. Fairchild, seeing the two doing extremely well, throws a pearl from her costume onto the ice. Chazz trips over the pearl and breaks his ankle, which renders him unable to perform his role in the Iron Lotus. Jimmy then offers to switch places with him. Although they have never practiced the other's roles (and it took hundreds of tries for Chazz to not decapitate a test dummy), they perform the Iron Lotus perfectly. Jimmy and Chazz win the competition, Jimmy reconciles with Katie, and Stranz and Fairchild are arrested due to the kidnappings as well as Stranz shooting the mascot. Stranz and Fairchild begin arguing, then kiss each other incestuously.

Chazz and Jimmy then meet and fly off into the sky (literally, through some sort of rockets on their skates). While the credits are rolling, Hector is seen playing with dolls of himself, Jimmy and Chazz. Cast Edit All of the scenes at the United States Figure Skating Championships and World Wintersport Games were shot at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. The stadium used for the outside shoots is the unique Montreal Olympic Stadium , built for the 1976 Olympics. The outdoor chase scenes were also shot on-location in Montreal. The building used for athlete housing in Montreal was the unique Habitat 67, built for Expo 67. The film was delayed for a small undetermined period of time when Jon Heder broke his ankle while doing a skating program for the film. Coincidentally, Ferrell's character breaks his Ankle in the film. At one point in the film, Jon Heder's character answers a reporter's question in Japanese. Heder actually does speak fluent Japanese, having spent two years in Japan as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints .

Reception and box office Edit The film had favorable reviews, scoring 69% "Fresh" in Rotten Tomatoes , and the critics' consensus was that "Blades of Glory successfully milks its one-joke premise into a feature-length comedy". The movie grossed $33,014,202 on its opening weekend in March 30-April 1 with 3,372 theaters, averaging $9,790 per screen, beating out Disney's Meet the Robinsons to be the #1 film. It made $22.5 million in its second weekend, losing only 32% of its audience and retaining the #1 spot. As of December 3, 2007 the film has made $118,245,842 in America and $26,264,403 in the foreign market place. Its worldwide tally is $144,510,245.

Real skaters on set Susan Austin - Will Ferrell's coach Dawn Porter (skater) - Jon Heder's coach Julie Brault - Skating Coach (Montreal) Matt Evers - Skate Tree #1 1980 Olympian Lisa Marie Allen also appears in the film as the blond "Sweater Mom" who gets licked on the face by Will Ferrell 's character during his Stockholm solo. References to figure skating Edit Weir as the Swan. Note the colored glove. Blades of Glory is filled with allusions to famous and iconic moments in figure skating, as well as other figure skating films. Due to problems with the , Chazz and Jimmy are forced to share a gold medal (see 2002 Olympic Winter Games figure skating scandal). As well, the next time those Games are contested, the ISU Judging System is used. Chazz and Jimmy are given a life-time ban from singles skating, as Tonya Harding was. At the beginning of their Nationals "Fire and Ice" program, Chazz and Jimmy kneel on the ice facing each other and writhe backwards and forwards.

This is taken from the beginning of Jayne Torvill & Christopher Dean's iconic Bolero Free dance (figure skating) from the 1983/1984 season. Their free dance at the 1984 Winter Olympics received straight 6.0s for artistic impression. Stranz and Fairchild plot to injure Jimmy "below the knee and above the ankle", referencing the attack on Nancy Kerrigan. Jimmy's peacock costume is modelled on Johnny Weir's iconic The Swan costume from the 2005-2006 season, complete with glove. Weir says he is flattered by the parody. The Iron Lotus is a parody of the Pamchenko from The Cutting Edge . Both moves are physically impossible to perform. During a conversation, Chazz boasts to Jimmy about sleeping with numerous famous female figure skaters, including Michelle Kwan and Oksana Baiul . During the World Winter Sport Games, the standings briefly flash across the screen. Many of the names refer to famous skaters, most of whom are not pairs skaters, and in many cases, the male name is in the position of the female name (female is always first).

The standings (presumably after the short program, although all scores are higher than any score ever posted in the short program) are as follows: Pairs Figure Skating Concharov /Grushina 104.99 Near the end in the movie, "Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" (which Will Ferell starred in) the ESPN announcer quoted " Its all over folks. Upcoming is Ice Dancing to the hit of Motown". In Blades of Glory, Chazz Micheal Micheals is supposedly from Motown Figure skating elements in the film Edit A curve lift (squatting position) similar to the one Chazz and Jimmy perform. A few of the lifts Chazz and Jimmy perform are dance lifts, not pairs lifts. These are not illegal in pairs competition, and have been performed by many skaters in international competition, and therefore would not be something Scott Hamilton had never seen before. Despite what Coach claims, there is no specific lift named a "dance lift". Rather, the term refers to a variety of lifts performed in Ice dancing.

The Iron Lotus is made up of the following elements: [1] A head banger lift (illegal to perform in eligible competition) A Back flip by the released partner (illegal to perform in eligible competition) A butterfly by the releasing partner In the movie, the move is performed by Patrick Hancock in the place of Will Ferrell, and Ethan Burgess and James Yorke for Jon Heder. [1] The so-called "loophole" does not exist. International Skating Union regulations state that a pair team on the senior (Olympic) level is made up of a man and a lady (note that "lady" is the official terminology for a female skater). [1] While there are "similar pairs" (pairs made up of two men or two women), such pairs do not compete in ISU competitions. However, Chazz and Jimmy could have competed together in a synchronized skating team, or at a non-ISU event such as the Gay Games that includes similar pairs.

External links Ferrell and Heder on Blades of Glory - ComingSoon.net Ferrell and Heder on Blades of Glory March 27, 2007 SHARE Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) are the two top leading figure skaters in the men’s singles category. When they tie for the gold at the 2002 World Figure Skating Champion, their rivalry heats up and the two engage in an all out brawl in front of the entire packed stadium. As a result of their poor sportsmanship, the guys are banned from men’s singles competition for the rest of their lives. Three years after the incident, the two are still upset by the situation and can’t take not being in the limelight. Fortunately for them, an obsessed fan finds a loophole that will let them reenter into the competition. The only catch is the guys must put asides their differences and become a team in order to now become the world’s best duo in pairs figure skating. ComingSoon.net talked to Ferrell and Heder about what it took to become the world’s top skaters in Paramount Pictures’ comedy Blades of Glory .

ComingSoon.net: We have to talk about crotch proximity ’cause you guys got very close to each other. Did you have to set any boundaries? Jon Heder: The contract said, “No less than 2 centimeters.” Will Ferrell: I had a restraining order against his crotch. We really didn’t talk about it, did we? Heder: I think, all in all, it ended up being mostly effects. Ferrell: That was a stunt crotch. I don’t think I touched his crotch. Heder: I even think the upside legs was actually fake. It wasn’t even someone else’s. Ferrell: Oh, really? Heder: Remember? Ferrell: Movie magic. CS: Which was harder to negotiate, the crotch proximity or the boob grabbing with Jenna Fischer? Ferrell: Well, the boob grabbing. That was ad-libbed. I just thought, “This will be fun, I’m just going to do it,” and 80 takes later… [Laughs] I had to get it right. And, it remained in the movie. Heder: As soon as you did the first establishing shot, you had to match that.

CS: Did you know each other beforehand? You have such a great rapport. Did that happen as soon as you guys met? Ferrell: It was instantaneous, wasn’t it? Heder: I was just [in awe]. When we first met, it was on the ice and we were on level playing ground. All bets were off. Ferrell: Right, right. Heder: I think we were just scared. Ferrell: Yeah. We met in the parking lot of Pickwick Ice Rink in Burbank. It was like, “Hey, nice to meet you.” “Yeah, you too.” “This should be fun, right?” “It’s going to be hard, huh?” “You don’t know how to skate, do you?” “No.” “I don’t either.” “Okay, I’ll see you later.” [Laughs] That was kind of it. Heder: I was like, “I’ve got to lift you?” Ferrell: “No, I think I will be doing the lifting. I have to lift you.” CS: Now that you know how to skate, who loves it and who hates it? Heder: I love it. Ferrell: He does.

He loves it. I don’t hate it. Heder: He doesn’t hate anything. Ferrell: But, yeah, I haven’t skated since the movie. But, he’s only skated once. Heder: I’ve gone only once since because I’ve been busy. Ferrell: He’s a big talker. He was like, “I’m going to skate all the time.” Heder: And, I am. I’m going to. [Laughs] And, by all the time, I mean that I’m going to try to make it a regular, once a month to semi-annual thing. [Laughs] CS: Will, can you tell us something about Jon that we would not know? And, Jon can you tell us something about Will? Ferrell: Let me see… Jon has a twin brother. Did you know that? CS: I did. Ferrell: Oh, shoot. [Laughs] Heder: Everybody knows that. Ferrell: Well, his twin brother is really mean. Jon’s nice, but this guy — he scares me. Heder: He’s the evil one. Ferrell: He’s the evil one.

And, he would come to set and he wouldn’t even talk to me. He’d just sit across the room and go (does an evil laugh). I was like, “What is he doing?,” and Jon was like, “That’s just my evil twin brother, don’t worry about it.” Heder: He’ll mess with you, but it’s not a big deal. Ferrell: So, that’s something about Jon. [Laughs] Heder: Will doesn’t grow facial hair. It’s all down here (points to Will’s chest). Ferrell: Yeah. Heder: It all goes there. He never had to shave. Ferrell: For some reason, the beard follicles are actually right here, over my breasts, so I grow a chest beard. So, I have to shave that down. So, those are two things. Jon didn’t know I was left-handed. Heder: That’s true. Are you? Ferrell: Yeah. Heder: [Laughs] I didn’t know that, but neither did they.

CS: Speaking of the chest beard, when you get a script, do you immediately try to find the scene where you get to take off as many of your clothes as you possibly can? Ferrell: No. I actually hope that there isn’t. Heder: He gave it to me. Ferrell: Yeah, I gave it to Jon this time. But, yeah, in this one, I kind of do a version of it with the tattoo thing, which I thought was really funny that you reveal this stupid life story through tattoos. [Laughs] But, we got to make some crazy, funny tattoos. That was amazing. And, in fact, we were just laughing that Jimmy has no sense of the fact that there’s this gross guy with his shirt off. He’s just wrapped in the story, like “Really, wow, cool. What’s that one?” Heder: And then, Chazz gets the tattoo of Jimmy. CS: Were you tempted to keep that one for awhile? Ferrell: I was. That was the funniest thing. The make-up tattoos are so real looking and they last for a good couple of days, so I would forget. On the weekends, I’d have these weird tattoos.

My wife would be like, “Oh, gross, what is that?” “It’s just a wolf. I’m the lone wolf.” CS: So, the spandex skater costumes vs. the elf suit — compare and contrast. Ferrell: Well, they were very similar. The elfin tights were actually quite functional. A lot of times, in that movie, it was very cold where we were filming, so I was actually thankful to have them. The lycra suits, I was thankful to have them in a different sense, just for the character, ’cause they were funny looking. Heder: It took some help to get into. But, you didn’t have to wear a dancer’s belt in elf, did you? Ferrell: No, I did. Heder: You did? Ferrell: Yeah. I had already experienced it, yeah. Heder: So, he was totally just being nice to me when I had to wear a dancer’s belt for the first time. You were obviously trying to make me feel better by saying, “Yeah, these really suck, don’t they?” You were used to them. [Laughs] Ferrell: I didn’t want you to feel left out.

CS: Did you want to draw the line with the fluffy thing on the butt of the peacock costume? Heder: I remember seeing it in the design, but I always forgot about it because it’s so light, and I never saw it. People would say something and I’d be like, “Oh, that’s right, I’ve got feathers back there.” So, no, I did not draw the line. CS: How much input did you guys have on your costumes? Ferrell: We had a little bit. Julie Weiss, who’s the wardrobe designer is kind of a mad genius, in a way. She’d be like, “I found this leather jacket in the hatchback of my neighbor’s car. Try it on.” [Laughs] You’d be like, “Oh, it’s perfect.” “I knew it! You’re going to wear that today.” [Laughs] She really designed these amazing [costumes]. She would call me on the phone and ask me things like, “What would your character keep in a duffle bag?” [Laughs] “I don’t know yet.

I haven’t even thought about it.” She was like, “I see you as a cross between Steven Tyler and…” this person or that person. But, yeah, in terms of the skater stuff, she totally designed all that. Heder: The peacock outfit was kind of my idea because we had seen clips and footage of other skaters, just to study and research, and Johnny Weir had this swan outfit. It was kind of a famous routine. It was very serious, but the glove was a swan, and I was like, “That would be funny to do, but do it as a peacock.” Skaters are very much like peacocks. It was amazing. I just remember throwing that idea out, and then, the next thing I knew, she had this bejeweled glove and the eye, and everything. It was like, wow! Ferrell: The first time I saw him in his outfit, I was really jealous. [Laughs] I was like, “Aw, you’re a peacock. Of course. You get a gloved hand and everything. I’m only fire.” Heder: But, he had fire coming out of his hand. That was pretty cool.

CS: How was the chase on dry land? Ferrell: That was really hard. We were saying in the other room, that was the first two days of filming, all of that chase and we hadn’t really worked out being on those skates at all. Heder: Did you have covers at all or was it just straight metal blade? Ferrell: No, it was like a piece of wood that was painted silver on the side so it looked like a blade but it was still only about that much thickness that we were running around on. And it was the craziest way to begin a movie. You felt really beat up after those first few days of all that physical stuff, but it was fun. CS: How important is the hair of the character? Heder: I loved it. I love hair. It’s very important. Ferrell: I would say the same thing. CS: How does it help you find the essence? Heder: I think so much of the look, obviously including wardrobe, but the hair is a huge thing because it’s basically the frame for your eyes and that’s the window to your soul is what they say. Ferrell: I’m about to cry right now.

Heder: I always love messing with my own hair. As much as I can, I don’t normally like to wear wigs. If it’s just scheduling reasons, but yeah, we did extensions and played around. It’s always fun getting into that character that way. Ferrell: Plus, really very few of us have a job where you can get paid to come up with a crazy hairstyle. So it’s always fun if you can add that extra dimension of your look and hair is a huge part of that. CS: Jon and Jenna’s kiss? Heder: Well, in the script, it was like a sweet innocent kiss, I think from what I remember. But we were just talking about the characters and how they both have neither ever had experience with the opposite sex, for good reasons. So when they get together, we just thought neither of them would know what they’re doing and we should just make it like the most awkward kiss ever, where she’s a little bit more excited, she gets into it a little bit more. Jimmy is still trying to go by what he watches on like Backstreet Boys videos. Like simple, beautiful and yeah, we didn’t really rehearse it.

But when we shot it, it was like all right, let’s just kind of go for it and see what happens. It was really weird. There was a couple where she was like making moans like “Ahh ahh.” CS: What is it like performing in the stadium with crowds, and how much did you really do? Heder: Well, the first part, I was kind of nervous. I’m used to it now, started getting used to like, being in front of the camera is fine. In front of other people, there’s always a small cast. I remember the first time when we started shooting the skating stuff, to be out there where we have our routines planned, we know the routine but then you have all these extras. And it was like the real deal. I got up, I was nervous, I was like… Ferrell: You don’t want to mess up. Heder: I didn’t want to mess up and was like once you start going it’s fine. Ferrell: We worked with this woman, Sarah Kawahara and she’s like the big time skating choreographer, to the point where some of the other coaches who were former pros, actually you could see them get nervous around her.

She does all the Disney on Ice, everything. You have these coaches [and] in your mind, you’d be like, “I nailed that” and they were like, “better.” Heder: It was like real time coaches. Ferrell: “You’re gonna get there. Yeah.” Heder: They were like real coaches. The directors say, “Oh, great job. Now do it this way.” And they were like, “Yeah, okay.” Ferrell: “Make sure you point your toe.” And the director would be like, “Looks fine.” They were almost like, “Don’t tell them that.” But it was intense. Heder: And I tried to do as much skating as I could. Obviously, we had doubles to do the really cool spins and the jumps. CS: Any wires? Heder: We got on some wires, yeah, we got on some wires. For any of the flying sequences. There was a few. Ferrell: I flew at the end. Heder: That was wirework. Ferrell: But that actually was insane. We were like 100 feet up in the air above all these people going [forget the gesture].

I was like, “I hope these don’t break.” CS: What was it like seeing the Korean film? Ferrell: We never got to see it. It wasn’t mocked up so we just had to react to what we thought it would look like. Heder: Or the director going, “Now the head falls off.” Ferrell: So we both thought it was super funny when we got to see it. It was very crudely done, you know. But then the head comes off. Heder: And when we shot the scene where his character’s practicing off a mannequin and his double actually nailed the head. There was one time where he nailed it perfectly because they had it rigged so it would fall, but he hit it instead like right off. CS: What’s coming up? Ferrell: I just started filming another sports comedy about the ABA which was this league in the ’70s, a competing league with the NBA. So it’s a basketball comedy. “Semi Pro.” CS: Your character? Ferrell: I’m this guy Jackie Moon. I’m the player/owner/coach of the Flint Michigan Tropics.

And I was able to buy the team with the money from my single, my number one hit song “Love Me Sexy.” The true story part of it is the NBA and the ABA merge and they only took four teams. So we’re trying to play for fourth place to make it to the NBA. CS: And what about the Mr. Tartanian/Angry Boss sketch with Pierce Brosnan? Ferrell: Oh, it was the interview at the travel magazine. Just Adam and I wrote it. We were talking about, we would sometimes just kick scenarios and write so we thought about just a job interview scene at a travel magazine and I end up stabbing Chris Parnell with a trident 100 times.

Credit Suzanne Hanover/Paramount Pictures Will Ferrell is a ferocious marshmallow. In his dumb but endearing sports comedies, the spirit may be willing, but the flesh is flabby. As he ricochets from triumph to humiliation and back, he suggests an armchair George Plimpton whose characters, driven by an outlandish grandiosity, are deeply reassuring. For the sake of his career, Mr. Ferrell should never join a gym; buffed up, he would cease being one of us.

In “Blades of Glory” his character — Chazz Michael Michaels, a preening rock ’n’ roll-style figure skater, hard drinker and self-proclaimed sex addict — is quintessential Ferrell: a macho caricature with a gooey sweet filling that leaks through the cracks of his heavy-metal armor. As he lurches and lunges through a routine to the roar of the Billy Squier anthem “The Stroke,” Chazz is almost fearsome. But by the end of this fast, light, frequently funny comedy, your instinct is to pet his mullet and go “Awwww.” Mr. Ferrell and Jon Heder (of “Napoleon Dynamite” ) play rival skaters who were banned from the ice following a public brawl; Mr. Heder’s character, Jimmy MacElroy, is the whiny, arrogant adopted child of a billionaire (William Fichtner) who abandons him on a roadside after his ouster from the sport. After spending three years in exile, Chazz and Jimmy re-enter figure skating the only way the rules allow: as a team. As these mismatched egomaniacs develop a fraternal bond, their chemistry jells, and Mr.

Ferrell and Mr. Heder stake an early claim to being the comedy couple of the year. Jimmy, with his fleecy platinum hair and downy cheeks, is a brat itching for a comeuppance, and Mr. Heder’s Bugs Bunny teeth and myopic gaze complete the picture of the sports prodigy as idiotic, self-centered robot. The character seems only a hair’s-breadth away from Napoleon Dynamite. It comes as a huge relief to find that as “Blades of Glory” speeds along, it avoids going to the obvious, ugly place for cheap laughs. The notion of a male figure-skating team in which one member is a chest-beating, fire-breathing Lothario and the other a persnickety, virginal girly-man cries out for the kind of easy, gay-baiting jokes that mars comedies like “Wild Hogs.” Advertisement Continue reading the main story It’s not that “Blades of Glory” is entirely unaware of its largely untapped subtext. In Sarah Kawahara’s amusing ice skating choreography, sliding scissor kicks land faces in crotches, and groins grind into groins.

But the humor lies more in the ooh-that-must-hurt category than in any suggestion that such collisions might be sexy. The movie’s satirical take on competitive figure skating, from its music for gliding pas des deux (Andrea Bocelli) to the goofy absurdity of children’s ice shows in which Chazz, exiled from competition, is forced to work, to its tacky space-age costumes, is affectionately knowing.

Sign Up Privacy Policy When Chazz and Jimmy make their comeback, they are pitted against a ruthless European brother-sister team with an incestuous bond, the Van Waldenbergs (Will Arnett and Amy Poehler), who blackmail their meek sister (Jenna Fischer) into using her charms to break up the American partners. This is one of several subplots shoehorned into the movie for strictly mechanical reasons. The Van Waldenbergs have a potentially great comic moment near the end of the movie that is all but thrown away. In their breathtakingly tasteless routine at the movie’s version of the Winter Olympics, they impersonate John F.

Kennedy and Marilyn Monroe as lovers on ice. Alas, all the movie gives us is about 30 seconds of what might have been a classic, “Borat” -worthy sketch. More successful are a drawn-out stumbling chase on skates through the streets of Montreal, and Chazz and Jimmy’s decision to execute an extremely dangerous (and funny) maneuver developed in North Korea. Despite its missed opportunities, “Blades of Glory” introduces some fresh talent into the Hollywood comedy pool. Its directors, Will Speck and Josh Gordon, come from advertising, having created those ubiquitous television commercials for Geico insurance. However tired of the Geico caveman you may be, you must admit that the campaign, when new, had a rare spark of wit. “Blades of Glory” has enough vestiges of that kind of creative cheek to keep you contentedly in your seat. “Blades of Glory” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has off-color sexual humor and some strong language.

Presently, however, they've found a loophole that will allow them to qualify as a pairs team. When rivalry between the world's best men's figure skaters - sex addicted, improvisational Chazz Michael Michaels and germophobic, precise Jimmy MacElroy - breaks into a fight on the awards platform, they're banned from the event for life.

Can they overcome mutual dislike, limited time to prepare, their coach's secret past, and the dirty tricks of their main opponents, the Van Waldenberg siblings?

Great if you liked this comedy film!MORE INFO ON JON HEDER: Jonathan Joseph "Jon" Heder (born October 26, 1977) is an American actor and filmmaker. He is best known for his portrayal of the title character in 2004's Napoleon Dynamite. He has also acted in The Benchwarmers, School for Scoundrels, Blades of Glory, Monster House, Mama's Boy, and Surf's Up.Heder was born in Fort Collins, Colorado, and is one of six children of family practice physician Dr. James Heder and his wife Helen. He has an identical twin brother named Dan. He also has an older sister and brother, Rachel and Doug, and two younger brothers, Adam and Matt. Heder graduated from South Salem High School in Salem, Oregon in 1996. He is a former member of the swim team at South Salem High. In addition, he was a staff member of the Drama Association, DRAMA, in 1995.

In the issue, there is a piece of art by Jon Heder that resembles a liger.Heder is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served an LDS mission in Japan, for which he learned to speak Japanese.A 2002 alumnus of Brigham Young University, Heder worked on the short CGI animated film "Pet Shop" which earned a non-traditional animation student Emmy in 2005. After his movie career took off, he did not return to complete the work he started on the short, although his name does appear in the credits. Also, while attending BYU he befriended Jared Hess and starred in his short film Peluca, which was later expanded into Napoleon Dynamite. "Peluca" received rave reviews on the BYU campus after showing at a few college and local film festivals and competitions.Heder is the nephew by marriage of former NFL running back and current WCAU sports caster, Vai Sikahema.Napoleon Dynamite, filmed in Preston, Idaho, earned more revenue than almost any other Sundance movie. In June 2005, Heder received the MTV Movie Award for Best Musical Performance and Breakthrough Male Performance for the role.

On October 8, 2005, he hosted Saturday Night Live with musical guest Ashlee Simpson. After his success with Napoleon Dynamite, for which he was paid only $1,000, Heder and his film co-star Efren Ramirez filmed a series of commercials to promote the 2005 Utah State Fair. They appear as their characters from Napoleon Dynamite; in at least one commercial, they are shown with the FFA medals that they won in the context of the movie.He appeared in the film The Sasquatch Gang. He had a supporting role as a clerk in a new age bookstore in the romantic comedy Just Like Heaven. He also starred alongside Rob Schneider and David Spade as part of the trio in producer Adam Sandler's The Benchwarmers (2006), a comedy about three grown men making up for lost chances by creating their own Little League baseball team. He was the voice of the character Skull in the animated film Monster House, and starred in the comedy School for Scoundrels, opposite Billy Bob Thornton and Jacinda Barrett.

With the exception of the Academy Award-nominee Monster House, Heder's post-Dynamite movies were widely panned[citation needed] and he risked becoming a one-hit wonder until he co-starred in 2007 with Will Ferrell in the well-received Blades of Glory (2007). Like many of Heder's films, Blades of Glory is an absurd, slapstick caricature, in this case revolving around male figure skaters who must team up in a pairs competition.Heder's second turn at voice acting came in 2007 when he voiced the character of Chicken Joe, a surfing chicken, in the animated film Surf's Up. His first foray into web television was in the 2008 web series Woke Up Dead starring and produced by Heder. Woke Up Dead is a web-based, live-action sci-fi comedy thriller about Drex, a twenty-something USC student who wakes up underwater in the bathtub one morning and suspects that he might be dead.Jon and his twin brother Dan star together as villains in the fourth installment of the popular internet martial arts comedy series Sockbaby.Heder lives with his wife Kirsten Heder in Los Angeles, California.

The two have been married since 2002. The couple had a girl, Evan Jane Heder, on April 6, 2007.Jon stated during an appearance on Late Show with David Letterman that he and his identical twin, Dan Heder, think alike and, as children, would often finish each other's sentences (a common occurrence with identical twins). When Letterman asked him whether being an identical twin is a good experience, Dan replied that it is mostly good, but that as children "we caused a lot trouble by pretending to be the other, the memories still give me a good chuckle."MORE INFO ON WILL FERRELL: A graduate of the University of Southern California, Will Ferrell became interested in performing while a student at University High School in Irvine, California, where he made his school's daily morning announcements over the public address system in disguised voices. He started as a member of the Los Angeles comedy/improvisation group The Groundlings, where fellow cast members Ana Gasteyer, Maya Rudolph and former "Saturday Night Live" (1975) repertory players such as Laraine Newman, Jon Lovitz and Phil Hartman began their careers.

It was there he met Chris Kattan and the two became good friends and both went on to "Saturday Night Live" (1975) later. He has also appeared on several television programs, including "Strangers with Candy" (1999), "Grace Under Fire" (1993) and "Living Single" (1993) during his time at The Groundlings. Will also lent his voice to the armless and legless dad of cartoon family "The Oblongs".In 1995 he became a feature cast member at "Saturday Night Live" (1975) during the show's rapid re-casting. He was declared quite possibly the worst cast member ever during his first season. However, his talents of impersonations and range of characters shot him forward to making him arguably the greatest "Saturday Night Live" (1975) cast member ever. During his seven year run he is one of the few cast members to ever be nominated for an Emmy for a performance and played George W. Bush during the 2000 elections.

He's appeared in every "Saturday Night Live" (1975) movie since his premiere on the show in 1995. In 2002 he left "Saturday Night Live" (1975) and was the only cast member to ever receive a farewell from all the current cast members at the end of the season finale show. Since leaving the show Will has pursued a career in films. In 2000 he married and now lives in L.A.Winning buyder agrees in advance to pay an additional $5.95 for U.S.A.
