Blades of Glory is about two rival figure skaters who after a fight with each other in front of 30,000 fans, and after destroying the world championship mascot, have their gold medals stripped from them, and are banned from competitive skating for a lifetime.
Three years later, one is many pounds heavier, whilst the other is still very girly.
Both agree to put aside their differences, as well as the fact that they are both men, and exploit a loophole ( which as far as i know can not be done in the real world of pairs skating), that would allow them to compete in the pairs figure skating category.
this duo must go face-to-face with fierce competition, from rivals far more experienced at the art, such as Stranz and Fairchild, the unrelentingly competitive reigning champion pair.
There are some really great moments, including a hilarious ice skate chase and some very funny ice routines.
This very funny movie was shot in Los Angeles and Montreal in Quebec (Canada).
well worth renting out.
