Blades of Glory is a 2007 American sports comedy film directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon, written by Jeff Cox, Craig Cox, John Altschuler and Dave Krinsky. It stars Will Ferrell and Jon Heder as a mismatched pair of banned figure skaters who become teammates upon discovering a loophole that will allow them to compete in the sport again; Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, William Fichtner, Jenna Fischer, and Craig T. Nelson are featured in supporting roles. The idea for the film was conceived by Busy Philipps, who "fleshed out the screenplay;"[2] however, co-writers Jeff and Craig Cox dropped her name from the script, with Phillips ultimately receiving just a story credit.[3]
The film was produced by DreamWorks Pictures, MTV Films, Red Hour Films and Smart Entertainment. Released on March 30, 2007, by Paramount Pictures, it received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $145 million worldwide.
