I went to the Cinema yesterday, with a friend, to pass a boring Saturday afternoon. Blades of Glory was the film of the day for us and off we trotted to Screen 5 to watch, arms laden with popcorn, pepsi, hotdogs, pic-n-mix and a box of 'Krax' (gorgeous corn snack type thingys).
Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrel) takes to the rink as the rock star of the arena, leaving a trail of thrashed ice and shrieking female fans in his wake. The only competitor who can match Michaels' scores is the driven former child prodigy, Jimmy MacElroy(Jon Heder).
These two tie for the gold medal in the Olympics and as they are sworn enemies one ends up shoving the other off the podium and they end up in a bit of a fight on the ice. After being banned for life they go their separate ways but long to be on the ice competing again.
They get it together as a pairs team (no rules against single sexed pairs) and fight for supremacy on the ice again.
These two had to get together to make a great pairing and tackle the World Championships and take Gold. The story is crazy, weird, ridiculous but side splittingly funny. I laughed all the way through the movie.
Well worth it if you want a good belly chuckle without having to use your brain for plot etc!! :o)
