Thin ice-capade

I went to a preview screening of the new Will Ferrell/Jon Heder comedy "Blades Of Glory", about rival ice-skaters who get themselves banned from competing, then return via a loophole as the sport's first male pair.

The situation couldn't be much more absurd, the characters further over the top, or the dialogue any sillier and, admittedly, that mishmash was enough to keep me going "haha" and "hehe" most of the way.

But it's a story without substance - just a flashy routine designed to score as many cheap laughs as possible - and I honestly can't see why you'd sit through it twice. That said, the final seconds are film anarchy!
