Will Ferrell is funny. In case you weren't sure about that fact, he is. Does everything he puts out as a comedy mean it will be funny? No. Is Blades of Glory funny? Yes. Is it one of his best comedies? Far from it.
Blades of Glory, the story of two champion figure skaters, Ferrell and Napoleon Dynamite's Jon Heder, who have such a bitter rivalry that it turns into an outright brawl during competition which in turn gets both of them stripped of their membership in championship figure skating. They both are forced to move onto far different jobs when kicked out of the sport until a loophole is found that enlightens the two that they can compete in figure skating as a pair, the first male pair to grace the sport. What ensues of course are the jokes you would think would occur when two male figure skaters are paired up.
The fact is even the dumbest jokes in the film are funny because of the fact that Ferrell and Heder in his hard to escape Napoloen delivery, are presenting them. This isn't a bad film, I have seen just bad comedies, it is just incredibly predictable and very uncerebral. Sometimes these movies are fun. Sometimes they are annoying. Ferrell proved he can act in Stranger Than Fiction, but for some reason, sometimes he still wants to put out these silly comedies. Not to say he shouldn't do comedies, but some with some meat would be nice. Blades of Glory is fun, but don't expect too much from it.
