When rival figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels (Will Ferrell) and Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) go ballistic in an embarrassing, no-holds-barred fight at the World Championships, they are stripped of their gold medals and banned from the sport for life. Now, three-and-a-half years on, they’ve found a loophole that will allow them to compete: if they can put aside their differences, they can skate together – in pairs’ figure skating.
Will Ferrell’s new movie making formula seems to be to make fun of second tier sports. Last year NASCAR was in his cross-hairs, this year it’s male competitive figure skating. Next year maybe it's competitive Bass fishing? For now, Will has squeezed himself into a pair of tights for Blades of Glory and as you might expect, it’s not pretty.
It is however potentially funny.

Yes Christina, NASCAR is, at best, a second tier sport. In fact, it isn't even a sport. It's just a bunch of good 'ol boys driving around in a circle. They aren't athletes.
I agree with everything you said except that NASCAR is a 2nd tier sport. Dude, seriously? Have you seen the ratings? And even if those don't impress you, it's equal to Bass fishing? Get over it.
I saw the movie last night. It was hilarious. Ferrell and Heder are a great combo. Good direction, great cinematography, costume design and special effects. I recommend seeing it in a theatre.
Again there is a movie that is overloaded with gay stereotypes. There are too many movies that have gay "suggestiveness" as its theme or threaded throughout. If this were done to specific Nationalities, Creed, Race, Religion there would be an uproar.
