    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      (at around 58 mins) Jon Heder spent two years in Japan as a Mormon missionary, and learned to speak Japanese fluently. He showcased this talent during the press conference when he responded flawlessly to a reporter's question posed in Japanese.
    • Goofs
      (at around 1h 7 mins) When they are at the finals and the announcers say how the two American pairs have pulled away from the field, they show the standings. The lead they show the Van Waldenberg's have combined with their score shown in their John F. Kennedy/Marilyn Monroe routine would make it impossible for MacElroy/Michaels to catch them mathematically even with straight 6.0s (although their scores are never shown).
    • Quotes

      Jimmy: So, Coach, I was thinking about the music for our routine.

      Coach: Oh, really?

      Chazz: We're gonna dance to one song, and one song only: "Lady Humps" by the Blackeyed Peas. "What you gonna do with all that junk, all that junk inside your trunk? I'm a get you, get you drunk, get you drunk off my lady humps, my humps, my humps, my lovely lady humps."

      Jimmy: [disgusted] I'm not skating to anything with references to lady humps. I don't even know what that means.

      Chazz: No one knows what it means, but it's provocative...

      Jimmy: No, it's not, it's gross...

      Chazz: ...It gets the people going!

    Funny and worth a watch
    I saw the press screening of Blades of Glory last night, and I have to say...I haven't laughed so much at a movie for quite some time. Jon Heder shines in his role and portrays a character that seems carefully written to avoid any similarities with Napoleon Dynamite; I was actually surprised that there weren't any references to ND (that I noticed), since there were a few Ferrell lines that reminded me of Anchorman (which was just fine!). Ferrell and Heder work wonderfully together; the ice skating scenes are pulled off very well; and, of course, there are tons of quotable lines. Overall, a funny, satisfying movie (especially if you're into ice skating or Anchorman/Talledega Nights-type humor).
