Blades of glory
Directors: Josh Gordon and Will Speck
Cast: Will Ferrell, Jon Heder, Jenna Fischer
Plot outline: Two male skaters are banned from men's skating after a brawl in a competition. Now they team up in order to compete in the sport they love.
If I didn't skate, I would probably hate this, because it is utter silliness from start to finish. The plot is weak, the clichés are raining and the jokes aren't that funny, really. However, since I understand the hilariousness (is that a word?) of the commentators saying "Perfect execution!" after the "galloping peacock", or "So far so good" when the skaters haven't done anything but dance, everything they do and say are turned in to a giant joke that only a few will understand the full meaning of. Other, more subtle details, such as Sokolova and Plushenko being in third place in the pairs category, are probably missed entirely by the majority of the viewers. To sum it up, I can say that I actually enjoyed this very much, as a parody of everything figure skating is and stand for, but I don't know if someone not into the sport will.
