3 stars out of 5.
You can't expect too much out of anything with Will Ferrell. But if you don't expect much, you might not be let down and may be pleasantly amused. This was the case in Blades of Glory. Jon Heder and Will Ferrell are a very good comedic team, and Will Arnett and Jenna Fischer also have great supporting roles. I would definitely not plan a weekend around watching this movie, but if you have some time to kill, it is a pleasant waste of time.
A few words of warning - it is a bit crude in parts, as you would expect from a Will Ferrell movie, so is not recommended for particular viewers. Also, fans of ice skating may also be offended for the portrayal of their sport in the movie. However, several skating big wigs do come in for cameos, so that might be fun for some. Lastly, if you think the premise of the movie might be a thin disguise for promotion of a homosexual agenda, you might be right, but it is a very minor part of the movie and the references are few and/or not overt.
