The film also has a wonderful and big supporting cast including Jenna Fischer, William Fichtner, and Craig T. There's a lot of great satire of the sport of figure skating just as there was in Talladega Nights. It's comedy won't be for everyone, but if it fits your taste, you'll love it. As a Will Farrell fan, this movie stands out to me as one of my favorites he's ever done, and his ridiculous performance as Chazz is one of my favorite performances from him ever.īlades of Glory has a hell of a lot more going for it then I could have ever thought. Both are done in sports that a lot of people don't really give a shit about, and his character in both is very egotistical.

His performance as Chazz is one that really brings back memories of his performance as Ricky Bobby. I understand that some can't stand the guy, but I for one love his delivery in his movies. I have to admit to being a big Will Farrell fan. So through some weird meet up, Chazz and Jimmy join together as a team to try to smell the gold once again. After a few years one of Jimmy's biggest fans tells him that he can still compete, but it has to be in doubles. While on the podium, the two get into a fight which results in them being stripped of their medals and also prohibited from ever being able to compete in the sport they both love. While competing at the world championships, they end up tying for the gold medal. Two men's figure skating rivals, Chazz Michael Michaels and Jimmy MacElroy are two of the best in the sport. It's pure fun from start to finish and that's coming from somebody that never even wanted to see this movie to begin with. While this is no great achievement, it is a movie that I really loved. I finally checked it out though, and I was completely wrong. What with Jon Heder, who I normally hate, and a plot that revolves around figure skating I never really figured it had a whole lot to offer. Chazz: Troubled childhood? If you consider a 9 year old kid with a 35 year old girlfriend troubled.īlades of Glory has been a movie that I had very little interest in ever watching.
