Blades of Glory
When rival figure skaters Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy 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.

KathrynHopper, says:
Give Jon Heder and Will Farrell a perfect 6.0 for this triple sowcow over the top send-up of competitive ice skating. The gags are both in-your-face (who doesn't laugh when the Olympic mascot catches fire in the preview!) and subtle, making fun of everything from corporate sponsorships, the nationals are held in PlayStation360 Arena, to kiddie ice shows - I loved Rob Corddry's turn as the bitter manager of The Gibblets. Directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon, creators of the Geico Caveman commercials, keep the schichts coming so fast that I sometimes longed for a DVD pause feature. "Blades of Glory" isn't high-brow fare, but after I suffered through "Norbit," it seemed Oscar worthy!
