Blades of Glory is a 2006 sports comedy film that tells the story of two rival figure skaters who are banned from the sport after a brawl during an important competition. The film stars Will Ferrell as Chazz Michael Michaels, a cocky and talented skater known for his flashy style and extravagant costumes, and Jon Heder as Jimmy MacElroy, a sensitive and effeminate skater who relies on his technical skills to win competitions.
After their altercation on the ice, Chazz and Jimmy are stripped of their medals and banned from skating for life. However, when they discover a loophole in the rules that allows them to compete as a pairs team, they put aside their differences and reluctantly team up to compete in the World Winter Sport Games.
As they train for the competition, Chazz and Jimmy must learn to work together despite their vastly different personalities and skating styles. Along the way, they encounter a number of obstacles, including sabotage from their former coach (played by Craig T. Nelson) and the fierce competition posed by a reigning pairs team (played by real-life skaters Nancy Kerrigan and Sasha Cohen).
The film also features a number of comedic subplots and supporting characters, including Jenna Fischer as Jimmy's love interest, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler as a scheming brother-sister skating duo, and William Fichtner as the wealthy and eccentric sponsor of the World Winter Sport Games.
Overall, Blades of Glory is a hilarious and irreverent satire of the world of figure skating, as well as a heartwarming story of unlikely friendship and redemption. The film is filled with memorable one-liners, over-the-top costumes and performances, and some surprisingly impressive skating sequences. Whether you're a fan of sports movies, comedies, or just looking for a good laugh, Blades of Glory is a must-see film.
Blades of Glory is a 2007 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 33 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.3 and a MetaScore of 64.
