Still, most of the gags are pretty tired and predictable, and feel like filler in what is already a pretty minimal story line.

Not all of its comedy is simplistic and vulgar, but most of it is.

Specifically, Heder, while legendary as Napoleon Dynamite, simply lacks the skills to be a good straight man, or even a good actor.

The comedy is fast and very dry, blending Christopher Guest style patter with outrageously staged slapstick goofiness.

If the movie misses out on gold, though, the leads offbeat chemistry at least guarantees it a place on the podium.

Bullz-Eye

The film is well paced, with only a slight second to third act dip, a common pitfall when plot wrapup becomes a comedys forefront.

Indeed, one of the primary comedic drivers of the movie is the aesthetic absurdity of Ferrell as a figure skater.

In an era of unspeakably awful spoofs and unimaginative turd humor, Blades of Glorys energy and spontaneity is a welcome sight.
