Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

[Bon]

My parents came to see me today, so we caught a flick during the visit. I wish I could have seen Grindhouse, but we missed one of the earlier showings, so Blades of Glory was my plan B.

In a nutshell, I laughed my ass off. Will Ferrell and Jon Heder made my day with this flick, but in my opinion, Ferrell was the funniest of the two (playing Chazz Michael Michaels).

SPOILER.....






























I laughed the hardest during the scene where Will and Jon do their first pairs routine to Aerosmith's "Don't Want to Miss a Thing." Will lifted Jon up in the air and held his crotch. I laughed so hard, that I was literally gasping for breath so that I could laugh some more. Only Borat has made me laugh as hard at this.

END SPOILER.....


Please go see this flick, guys. I will admit, there are a few quirks here and there, but overall, you won't regret it.

OH GOD. HITTING CROTCHES. INSTANT HILARITY.

Fixed. Well that's the AFV formula anyway.

I don't know. I think I'll be steering clear of this movie, since it will likely be the only thing on comedy central in about 2 years so I'll eventually see it anyway. I really don't think Will Ferrell is that funny in general, and Jon Heder wasn't really all that funny in Napoleon Dynamite. Sure the movie had it's good moments and wasn't that bad, but it was a bit dry, and had a lot of nothing scattered through some good moments. So both of them together = meh at best.

Much more glad I saw Grindhouse, though if my friends would have asked me to this movie I would have passed. I guess it might surprise me, but I'll wait till I can see it free first, or at least as a rental.

Lately it seems to be put Will Ferrel in a hilarious sports (well sort of) spoof time. Talladega Nights to this, what's next Will Ferrel in Épées of Desperation. Apparently I was right, except it's not fencing, it's Semi Pro

Jackie Moon (Ferrell), the owner-coach-player of the American Baketball Association's Flint Michigan Tropics, rallies his teammates to make their NBA dreams come true

No offense to those who liked this movie, but just not my cup o tea, and seems like highly derivative typical Ferrel stuff. But if you like Ferrel then I guess it's probably good.

I don't know about the actual movie, but I'll support any movie topic that gives me an instant review right in the topic title.

I didn't know robots could laugh...

Productive answer: I've heard good things from a few friends whose opinion I don't really respect, but all in all I think the movie looks pretty dumb.

I'll give Will Ferrell the benefit of the doubt on any move he ever makes and go see it.

Re: Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

I never really liked Will Ferrel. Not even on SNL.

Re: Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

Do you want me to think less of you as a person because of that?

[Denmo]

Re: Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

I don't think less of you at all. You're entitled to your own likes/dislikes.

I just happen to disagree.

Re: Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

Your opinion is noted, Den...not that Ferrell would even care, now that me makes an unbelievable $20 million/film.

Re: Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

Because people with a lot of money are above criticism and are better than you.

Re: Blades of Glory: I could not stop laughing

I haven't liked a Will Ferrel movie since....since... I can't actually remember one I liked. Why, Will? WHY?!
