Although Ferrell and  Heder engage in amusing banter reminiscent of sibling rivalry throughout the first part of the movie, it's Ferrell that successfully carries the humor throughout the movie. It's really unfortunate how much Heder pales in comparison. Somehow I still muster hope for this novice comedian even after his blink-and-you-will-be-glad-you-missed-it performance in Far From Heaven. I suppose I still hear the echoes of my own laughter at his brilliance in Napolean Dynamite in the hollows of my heart.

Blades of Glory can best be summed up as the gay Blades of Glory, with homophobic comedy substituted for th undercurrent of romantic tension in the 1990 cult classic.


The best thing about this movie:  Will Farrell's Billy Ray Cyrus spin on the famously flamboyant sport of men's figure skating.

The worst thing about this movie: I can't decide.  Heder's failure yet again to live up to my lofty expectations or Jenna Fischer's out-of-body performance. She was either in stupefied awe of Farrell's decade of comedic legacy tor just wearing very itchy wool throughout the movie. She looked rather comfortable and out of place.
