Write-up Body: Set for release on March 30, 2007, Blades of Glory from Dreamworks is a sports comedy directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck and Created by Ben Stiller.

Will Ferrell and Jon Heder are the lead "pair", who exploit a loophole to do their act in this movie - which is to "Kick some Ice".

So, welcome to the world of competitive figure skating - and all its passion and power generated by an unlikely pair who aim to steal the trophy, beating the odds. Two men skating together -- Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) - turn out to be the initial male pair in the history of figure skating!

As aintitcool.com states, 'figure skating for the very first time ever is lastly watchable. Also, hilarious.

Blades of Glory is about two rival figure skaters (Ferrell and Heder) who following a fight with every other in front of 30,000 fans, have their gold medals stripped from them and are banned from competitive skating for a lifetime.'

3 years down the line, 1 is numerous pounds heavier whilst the other is still girlish, but still not "hot". Both agree to put aside their differences as nicely as their similarities - they're both men! --and exploit a loophole (produced exclusively for the movie) that would permit them to compete in the pairs figure skating category.

This category is, of course, generally reserved for opposite-sex couples and this duo should go face-to-face with fierce competition from rivals far much more experienced at the art, including Stranz (Will Arnett) and Fairchild (Amy Poehler), the unrelentingly competitive reigning champion pair.

'Amy Poehler and Will Arnett (as evil brother and sister figure skaters) manage to steal nearly each scene they're in. There are some actually excellent moments such as a hilarious ice skate chase and some really funny ice routines (that i won't spoil). The ice skating was by no means boring. And the costumes are as funny as the folks wearing them, specifically the outfits given to Poehler and Arnett. Also, Jenna Fischer has in no way ever looked as hot as this. Purr-Rawrr.'

This really funny movie was shot in both Los Angeles, California and Montreal, Quebec (Canada).
