![]() ![]() Thanks to Ferrell and Heder, in fact, it was often funny until finally the lingering got just plain old and, suddenly, it became more distracting than funny.Ĭinematographer Stefan Czapsky ("Ed Wood" and "Wild Wild West" among others) seems to fall victim to what can only be explained as inexperienced direction by Josh Gordon and Will Speck. It was funny the first time.heck, it was even funny the second time. We get the point already.funny, ha ha, two straight men figure skating have to hug each other and touch each other's balls. ![]() So, why did I only "like" "Blades of Glory," the latest in Ferrell's kaleidoscope of unique characters set in the world of ice skating?ĭespite an often hilarious script that falls somewhere between "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy" and "Talladega Nights" and the spot-on performances of Ferrell and Heder as rival men's singles figure skaters who team-up after a fight causes both men to be stripped of their gold medals, there were several shots in "Blades of Glory" so distractingly inept that during multiple scenes throughout the film I found myself jerked out of a scene, joke or storyline by camera shots that would either slow down the action, freeze it or inexplicably linger on either Ferrell or Heder's face or crotch. I love Will Ferrell, almost in the way that Nick Swardson loves Jimmy MacElroy in this film. ![]()
