Blades of Glory

[j_garcia]

I was hesitant about this one, but Ferrell and Heder are both funny, so I figured I'd check it out. It isn't so funny at the beginning, but it has a few hilarious moments. Nothing special, but worth a rent for a few laughs. I thought it was better than Talladega Nights, though I don't know if that is saying a whole lot.

I was wondering about that one. Will Ferrells movies are usually fun, silly entertainment (not masterpieces, of course.) I will probably give it a try. (Never heard of Heder.)

Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite

Jon Heder of Napoleon Dynamite

Never saw that. I saw the ads, and it didn't look like it would appeal to me. Maybe I would like it?

Heder is pretty funny in BENCH WARMERS too.

Napoleon Dynamite is one of those movies that most either love it or hate it. Some people don't seem to enjoy (or get?) the simplistic, goofy humor of that movie. Basically he is just an uber-nerd in a small farming town There is at least one scene though, that I can't imagine anyone not finding funny towards the end.

Bench Warmers was pretty funny too.

I watched Blades Of Glory last night. It was pretty much a waste of time.

I have my burnt copy, had it for a week or so. Decent movie for some laughs. A fair bit of gay humor, but I really could care less.

The best part was the hot dog with 2 wieners.

My wife and I both like this movie...HeHe

Between Heder and Ferrell, there were plenty of stupid LOL moments to be had

I give it 3.3333 stars for making me split my gut from laughter on more than a couple occasions.

Heder is pretty funny in BENCH WARMERS too.

I took my daughter to see that in theaters when it was first released, and yes..... I thought it was funny too.

That Feder guy in his nerd roles never fails to make me laugh out loud.

He's the ultimate Nerd-master.

"Does that look right?" I laughed so hard when he said that!!

The outtakes, alternates and deleted scenes were mostly funny too; especially the "What do you two have that no other team has?" "Matching luggage?" ROTFLMAO!!

I agree, for some reason Farell doesn't do it for me either, John Heder is ok, Napoleon was an ok flick, I got a couple of chuckles.

If you went into this movie, not knowing what to expect, then you deserve to lose your money. It's a Ferrell(spell it right) movie, you never go into one blind, not knowing what's going to happen.

It was really the only funny part for me. Just didn't really care for the movie. And I usually like Will Ferrell movies.

 

[j_garcia]

I had low expectations, so I wasn't disappointed It isn't exactly on my list of funniest movies ever. Like I said, it is good for a rental, but don't expect to shoot milk out your nose.

I liked this flick. It is a good, "average" Will Ferrell comedy.

And I don't see how any guys doesn't like Ferrell or Steve Carell. The Office and 40-year old Virgin are great entertainment...I also like him in the Little Miss Sunshine movie.

Will in Old School, his bit part in Wedding Crashers, his many hilarious SNL skits...even his part in Zoolander (another underrated comedy) are enjoyable. Don't forget Anchorman (I love that movie) and his Conservation Warden role in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.

He is what he is...I don't know why him and others like him get knocked for their comedy style. It is directly aimed at the 20-45 yr old guys out there.

I Netflixed it so it wasn't hard on the wallet, nonetheless F-E-R-R-E-L-L doesn't do it for me.

Another recent Ferrell flick I liked was Stranger Than Fiction. It is unlike much of his other work in that it is a little lighter on the comedy (not sight gags and physical ) and focused more on story, but still very entertaining. Emma Thomson and Queen Latifah (sp?) were good in it too.
