(1 - 42) of 42 OFCS Rating: 64% Fresh Page   1   "Cavorting on the ice in their elaborate figure skating costumes, Will Ferrell and Jon Heder made me laugh so much my stomach ached."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker B+ "Instead of just trying to be gross, as so many comedies resort to, Blades of Glory actually knows comedy and when a situation has been stretched for all it's worth. Fortunately there is a scene of equal or greater comedy on deck."   FromTheBalcony   Bill Clark 6/10 "One of the most keenly perceptive comedies ever made about straight male bonding, fear of intimacy, and masculinity. Not to mention figure skating."   AfterElton.com   Brian Juergens C+ "When faced with Will Arnett and Jon Heder, you can sense Ferrell is overcompensating on purpose."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf "The Ferrell Formula has by now got most of its kinks worked The film takes aim at a particular career choice, the protagonist exposes his body and utterly unrockable worldview, and the costar(s) surrender to Ferrellworld, wherein conventional masculinity"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 4/5 "It's the sort of movie you have to see twice because you were laughing so hard, you missed half the jokes the first time around."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius A- "In this lighthearted homage to the homoeroticism of figureskating Will Ferrell has delivered an unusually funny flick."   EDGE Boston   David Foucher 2/4 "...the latest in a seemingly endless line of unremarkable comedies featuring Will Ferrell..."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 5/10 "na tankom ledu"   Index.hr   Dragan Antulov 3/4 "An acerbic, satirical and richly comic escapade--or should that be ice capade?"   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman B- "The film is modestly entertaining, but it would have been much funnier if Ferrell had had a more qualified partner to work with."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 3/4 "Blades of Glory is not quite Anchorman or Talladega Nights but a good enough entry to round out Ferrell's humbled arrogance trilogy."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress "Thin, monotonous"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce 2.5/4 "Predictably goofy-minded and off-centered, Blades is a desired guilty pleasure for Ferrell fans that want to park their funnybones at the nearest skating rink."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng C- "This exhibition of infantilism is all very silly, of course, but worse it's not terribly funny."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/4 "Blades of Glory is a feeble satire that doesn't do much that's incisive or interesting, and the tame PG-13 rating keeps the raunchiness in check."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/5 "Roughly twice as good as a movie with such a thin comedic premise deserves to be."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 7/10 "l'enjouement et la constance avec lesquelles cette connerie nous ait déblatérée la rendent désopilante pour les bonnes raisons"   Panorama   Jean-François Vandeuren 6/10 "A spirited addition to this line of movies, but, alas, the formula is starting to wear around the edges."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 8/10 "Great fun!"   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 2.5/4 "Ferrell doesn't need a great script or direction to be funny. The man just is funny."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 6/10 "...humorous fluff at best but formulaic and predictable."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "I found myself not even giggling."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2.5/5 "Exceeded my very low expectations...Despite the dry spells between genuine laughs, the movie feels over and done with, but doesn't really leave you wanting more. It's just right, and just a little flat."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Karina Montgomery 4/5 "It's Ricky Bobby and Napoleon Dynamite on ice... the film for all the people who loved that Snickers Super Bowl ad and were upset when it was pulled."   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr B+ "It's Ferrell who does most of the heavy lifting...[and] kudos to costume designer Weiss whose clothes get laughs both on and off the ice."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 2/4 "More concerned with forcing random humor within its setup than finding the real humor that's there."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik B- "Blades of Glory has the sport's absurd elements down cold and skates by on Ferrell's comic bluster. Even the French judge would agree."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[F]unny... only if you think there is something amusing about men who are anything other than the Hummer-driving, date-raping, 'hot-blooded' caricature of a manly man."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "A star-studded broad comedy designed to make you forget your cares and have 93 minutes of good goofy fun. On that level, it succeeds as beautifully as a well-executed triple axle."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "Will Ferrell seems to be working his way through every sport ever covered on ESPN. With figure skating, he has found a target-rich environment for comedy."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 2/4 "Ferrell's testosterony shtick fails to tweak any notions of athletic masculinity because it's only used as a conventionally humorous juxtaposition for ice-skating's mocked femininity."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2.5/5 "...it's funnier than Wild Hogs, which is about as ringing an endorsement as I'm capable of these days."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 3.5/5 "The script is sharp and fast, and almost keeps up with the hilarious cast."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "A painless if unremarkable night out, lifted considerably by the over-the-top skating sequences."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves C+ "Slight, but amusing vulgar comedy."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B ""Blades of Glory" is not a great comedy but one with enough laughs, skating action and attitude to amuse its audience..."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 3.5/5 "The textbook definition of a Passable Matinee Comedy, Blades of Glory will please Will Ferrell's fans and irritate those who think figure skating is an activity worthy of reverence."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 6/10 "This silly, satirical comedy glides in, skating on thin ice."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 7/10 "I can't imagine what circumstances would lead me to watch the film, in its entirety, a second time. But I'm glad I saw it once."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 1/4 "Exhausted and riddled with bad timing."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 42) of 42 OFCS Rating: 64% Fresh Page   1
