Movies: Blades of Glory

This weekend, my husband and I watched Blades of Glory. He had a little homophobia before watching the movie, but wanted to check it out. I knew neither of the skaters played by Will Ferrell and Jon Heder were portrayed as gay men in the movie and thought this would be funny. One of the guys at work was telling us about it and with his taste in movies being similar to mine, I thought I'd like this flick. It was hilarious - from the skating scenes to the one-liners; beginning to end, this movie made me laugh out loud.

In 2002, two rival Olympic ice skaters were stripped of their gold medals and permanently banned from men's single competition. Presently, however, they've found a loophole that will allow them to qualify as a pairs team.

Will Ferrell was great as the leather clad sex addict, Chazz Michael Michaels and Jon Heder's performance as the protected and naive Jimmy, aka Little Orphan Awesome was just that, awesome. I really enjoyed this flick much more than I expected. If you like comedy, check this one out & I hope you like it!

Oh yeah, if you check out the extras, you can see American Idol runner up, Bo Bice singing the theme, "Blades of Glory", too. Just in case you've already seen the movie, here's the music video along with a sneak peek at the movie...
