I just want to get this out of the way. I’m open for debate on this point, but I’m willing to go out on a limb here and now and say that “Blades Of Glory” has usurped “Anchorman” as the best of the Will Farrell canon. I know there are a few “Old School” believers out there as well, but I think that after this one, the argument is settled. “Blades” takes the prize.

I’m not going to ruin the movie by rehashing it here, but I will defend my choice. Firstly, there are a ton of quotable lines here, the true hallmark of any great Ferrell movie. Maybe not quite as many as “Anchorman,” but it makes up for that with the visual comedy. You haven’t really lived until you’ve seen Heder and Ferrell ice dancing together. The skating scenes alone are worth the price of admission.

But the real reason I think this is better than “Anchorman” is simple: This movie actually has a semi-believable (albeit thin and slightly contrived) plot. Not that men skating in pairs skating is all that believable, but it at least develops the story well enough that you can get involved with it. I’ve always felt like “Anchorman” contained a ton of funny scenes but very little actual story. Not that you need a story to make a hilarious movie, but it certainly doesn’t hurt.

Anyway, I say go see it, form your own opinion, and then tell me what an idiot I am. But I’m standing by my choice. “Blades Of Glory” is Will’s best to date.
