Critics Consensus

Thanks to the spirited performances of a talented cast - particularly Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as rivals-turned-teammates -- Blades of Glory successfully spoofs inspirational sports dramas with inspired abandon.

Sydney Morning Herald

The result proves sadly under-choreographed. And choreography is everything in a film that leans as heavily on slapstick as this one.

Rated: 2.5/5

David Fear

Time Out

After Ferrell's manchild partners with a fey figure-skating rival (Heder), it's strictly uninspired buddy-comedy bickering.

Rated: 2/6

Blades of Glory is a classic, laugh-out-loud film, and is perfect for when you’re looking for something mind-numbingly hilarious.

Gone With The Twins

A routinely amusing blend of infantile scenarios and daffy characters that matches Ferrell's string of send-ups on various professions and sports.

Rated: 7/10

One of Ferrell's greatest gifts as a comic is the perfectly timed spontaneous gesture, facial expression or random action.

Warren M

Mid-2000s comedy with childish, over-the-top acting, laughless writing, cringy dialogue, and visual gags that leave you with no idea what to think? Sounds like a Will Ferrell movie, alright.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Brady R

A classic example of an early 2000's comedy, this movie is made all the more enjoyable thanks to its wit, humor, and onscreen chemistry between Will Ferrell and Jon Heder and is definitely worth a rewatch or two.

Takes a silly premise and makes it feel real. Perfectly casted and well-written. Don't like the last minute ending, felt out-of-place. But overall it was a great film.
