I'm tired of "Dumb Movies On Parade," but apparently I'm in the minority.



I'm sure it'll be a big, fat, stupid hit. And I'm also sure I won't see it.

Talladega Nights was a terrific movie to fall asleep during on an airplane. I've no doubt this will "rank right up there."

As for Napoleon Dynamite? Piece o' slacker poo. Unfunny slacker poo, at that.

I want to see it because William Daniels is in it. HA. And Will Arnett, but mostly William Daniels.

I saw a preview of a skate chase scene which I thought was pretty funny in a ridiculous sort of way. Unfortunately these movies always seem to parade their best scenes for the public on tv, and then you are disappointed to see those scenes are as good as it gets.

Will Ferrell will probably create several truly hilarious comedic moments, but probably not enough to make this movie worth it. We'll see.

I'm with Besty. I'm sure there must be SOME better way I can find to waste $11 and two hours of my life than this mess.

I couldn't get past the first five minutes of NAPOLEON DYNAMITE.

And when I saw the movie with Reese and Mark, I saw the same idiot (Heder), just with a better (but still bad) haircut.

Okay, I'll be the first person to say it:

This is the funniest movie I've seen, so far, this year. For those of you who are looking for a fun and witty comedy, with some truly inspired moments, you're not going to do much better than this movie right now.

It's hilarious, with some of the funniest scenes I've laid eyes on in a year. In my opinion, Ferrell's best movie since... ever.

Though I still like the absolute absurdities of ANCHORMAN more, BLADES OF GLORY was a f*cking hoot. Being a fan of Ferrell and figure skating, I was in heaven.

And by NO MEANS did they show the movie's funniest bits in the coming attractions. There is one moment that features a silver medalist that had me on the floor. And the hands-down funniest moment in the film...involving a very dangerous new move...well, I'm still speechless about it.

My BF is a former figure-skater. We're planning to go this weekend. I start laughing just thinking about it.

I'll admit that I like Will Ferrell, mostly in Old School and Anchorman, so I'll probably rent this movie. (I never go to the theatres to see comedies because they're usually hit or miss for me and I don't like wasting my money.) I will admit that he doesn't really vary his performances, but sometimes it's nice to turn my brain off for awhile and laugh at a tall guy with love handles running around naked.

papa, I have to disagree with Winter Passing. I thought his performance was really out of place in that movie. Of course, I really disliked that movie anyway.

I loved it! Will was great and Jon was a hoot. Amy and Will were priceless. The movie was really funny and I agree with robbiej that they didn't show all the funny parts in the trailers and commercials. Seriously, go see it.

Napolean Dynamite was really awful. But I think it won a KCA. I'm not sure, though.

i didn't think it was terrible... i just don't think it was very good, anchorman and talladega nights are much better Will Ferrell movies imo...

[rentgal589]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that "Kicking and Screaming" was Will at his best.

[YouWantitWhen????]

You are corrected.

Blades of Glory looks like a movie drooling with homophobic jokes. If I tried to go see it, I would almost definitely walk out. I mean, just look at the poster:




And just for the record, Will Ferrell is not funny at all.

The movie wasnt as bad as it could have been, but it wasn't the best either. It was funny, but in the way that every other Will Ferrell movie is. I would have preferred to wait til DVD, but whatevs...

As a former figure skater, I am actually looking forward to seeing this one. Thank heavens I'll only be wasting about $6.00 for an early showing.

Being a figure skater I thought it was hillarious, probably one of the funniest movie I've seen in a while.

*Spoiler

I loved how they made fun of Johnny Weir and parodied the cutting edge.

I need to see this movie, Will Ferral comedy is my guilty pleasure.

[Atrias]

Posted: 4/2/07 at 11:13pm

I saw it and actually enjoyed it a lot. I realize it's not anywhere near cinematic genius, but it got a few real laughs out of me.

Amy Poehler is on Jimmy Kimmel right now!

[broadwaybaby086]

Posted: 4/3/07 at 2:59am

I didn't know she was in it until Kimmel, which I never watch, but had it on tonight for some strange reason. I don't want to see this, but I do love Amy Poehler.
