Blades of Glory
I suppose I should thank Will Ferrell. After all, even if I don't like his films he is helping me to understand what I do and don't like about comedy. Apparently there are people who like Will Ferrell movies. I am not one of them. See, for me, a funny premise is not enough I like there to be jokes in my comedy. Other than "it is two guys ice skating together!" the actual funny bits in this are few and far between. And that is all Will Ferrell's films seem to be: funny premises. I don't really care if the premise is funny or not. If I had to chose I would pick a funny film over a funny premise any day of the week. This is a funny premise.
So the plot? There are these two guys and they end up entering couples figure skating. That's it. Oh there's Jenna Fischer in it and she's awesome. And there's some evil skaters. But that's it.
two thumbs down
